I call this the "Nail Hole Filling Crawl" 😂 T I call this the "Nail Hole Filling Crawl" 😂 

Today my Home Improvement Challenge is all about nail holes. Over the course of a few years, we have switched out ALL of our wood stained trim to white trim.  This led to the filling in of LOTS of nail holes.  If you know... you know...😩

(Swipe for a before pic of this space➡️)

I have asked Jeremy from @restorationvalley to give us some tips on how to fill those pesky nail holes. Want to watch his entire video? Join the challenge via the link in my bio!
