I'm in the process of re-decorating the living room, and have taken the window boards back to bare timber (pine). The idea was to stain them the same colour as the new flooring, but I've doubts over the finish as the condition of them isn't great.
I've already prepared and painted the walls, and don't fancy chopping the boards out to replace them - and having to repair/repaint the walls after. My initial thought was to "cap" the boards with new ones, lipping the front to cover the old boards - does that make sense?
Anyone attempted the above, or have any other ideas? or is it a case of chop the old ones out - while the wifes at work and hope I can fill and paint the walls again before she returns.
Any thoughts appreciated.
