Crown Molding in Dining Room w/Tutorial

Well me and the hubs did a DIY project all by ourselves!  We installed crown in our dining room.  It was actually very easy, inexpensive, and anyone can do this, trust me.  I love doing things to our home that adds value, and architectural features definitely do that.  I’ll give a brief tutorial as I go.

Here is our dining room before the crown (sorry, bad cell phone pic):

And here it is after the crown:

Nice difference!  You can read how I transformed that hutch and buffet table here.  It was quite ugly before. :)

Now, when I went to Lowe’s to get the molding, it was then I discovered those decorative corner pieces.  The guys there helped me with my measurements, and we figured out that if we use 2 of those corner pieces, then we wouldn’t have to miter any corners!  Score!!  That one back wall is about 13 1/2 ft, and once you add the corner pieces, that took off almost 3 inches per side, so then one piece of the molding would fit pretty much to a tee.  Make sense?  And I believe the molding we bought was either 13 or 14 ft?

We used a nail gun for this project.  What a handy little tool that is.  It’s not ours, and we’ve been borrowing it from a friend who I secretly hopes doesn’t ever ask for it back.  CW are you reading this?

Oh, and you definitely want to paint all of your crown before you put it up!

So first you put up your corner pieces, then measure the wall again, and put up your first piece and nail it in.

My husband had to cut off just a little bit of the molding for it to fit because it was a little long.  And you can use your miter box and saw to cut your straight edge.

The molding just sits flush against the corner pieces.

On the other 2 connecting walls, the molding just sits flush against the end of the wall.

Here is my man workin’ it with the nail gun.

And that is pretty much it for the installation.  We had all of the molding up in less than an hour, no lie.  But what the looooong part is, is all of the caulking and paint touch ups.  Oy!

Here is me caulking between the molding and the ceiling.

Then I went around with a tiny artist brush for the touch ups.

One happy and amazed DIY-er…

And here are some more afters of our dining room now.

So that’s about it!  I think the molding definitely adds a nice touch.  The total cost for this project was about $75, which isn’t bad at all for the value you are giving your home.  The chair rail was an easy DIY project too.

Now, don’t get too attached to my dining room (I know that will be easy), because it’s getting a little makeover soon, and that will probably turn into a big makeover I’m sure. First thing to go is the paint.  Hope my hubby isn’t reading.  I like this color, but don’t love the color, and never have.  We painted it this color last year, all according to some stupid picture we had.  We don’t even have that picture anymore, as I returned it.  So yea, don’t ever choose your paint color according to colors in a picture!  But I will blame hubby for this one because he wanted a rusty red.  :) Oh, and the other dumb thing we did was use a semi-gloss paint in here!  Why, oh why?  That’s what I call a hot mess.  Live and learn I suppose. :)  All of my decorating mistakes sure keep me on my toes!

Now go install some crown molding, I promise you can do it!!  :)

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Your dining room is beautiful first of all! Secondly, I am so impressed you did this yourself, that is a lot of hard work. We are thinking of doing both of our kids rooms in crown molding but debating whether or not to pay for someone to do it professionally.

    • Decorchick! says

      August 2, 2010 at 11:45 am

      Rebecca, y’all could totally do it, trust me! It’s really not hard. Just a little time consuming but worth it. :)

  9. Jennie says

    August 2, 2010 at 11:11 am

    Wow, amazingly beautiful.

    Can I ask why you wouldn’t recommend semi-gloss? We are choosing colors right now for our livingroom/dining room and I was was wondering what finish to get.

    • Decorchick! says

      August 2, 2010 at 11:35 am

      Thanks Jennie!

      Most people use Satin/Eg-Shell. You of course can use a semi-gloss, it will be a little shiny though. In dining rooms, flat and satin look best in my opinion. I’m just sick of the shine in the dining room. :)

      • Jennie says

        August 4, 2010 at 1:56 pm

        Wow, thanks for answering! I’ll probably go with satin.

        I love your blog and especially all the pictures! The inspiration is just great.

    August 2, 2010 at 8:34 pm

    aww man! I wish I knew about those corner peices when I was doing my kitchen floor. Instead I have these half inch gaps and a pailful of half-inch moulding pieces because we just *could* not get the angle right.

  18. Melissa's Heart & Home says

    August 2, 2010 at 10:53 pm

    WOW! Emily your dining room is truly gorgeous! I love the new crown molding with the fabulous warmth of the paint color. How beautiful this all looks down to every detail. Kudos to you and your hubby!

    BEA-U-TI-FUL!!! I knew I wanted crown molding, but you have definitely confirmed this for me. My husband probably won’t be too happy with you… he wants a deck. This seems a lot less complicated and less expensive so I should definitely get my crown molding first, right!?

    • Decorchick! says

      August 6, 2010 at 2:20 pm

      haha yes, who needs a deck??!! Ha!

    August 3, 2010 at 11:41 am

    This is such a gorgeous room! I love how it’s decorated right now, but I can completely understand not loving a color and especially selecting a gloss instead of eggshell. I have a red room that I hate right now, but convincing my husband to repaint is a difficult project in itself.

  24. Heather says

    It is amazing what a difference the molding makes. I want to do that to my house. Great job!

    What was the name of that color you used? I really like it. I’m looking for a rich color like that to paint an accent wall in my dining room. Great job on the crown molding. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt having a helping hubby to get ‘er done too! What color are you thinking of re-doing the dining room with? Just curious, I love colors!

      That red color is called Sierra Redwood by Sherwin Williams.

      Oh man, I go back and forth all the time on what color I’m going to repaint it!! So to answer your question, still not sure as my ideas are subtle then drastic. :)

    I don’t know that I would ever put the words “easy” and “crown molding” in the same sentence! It looks like yours went pretty well, but ours was pretty messy! We had weird angles and tried to do it without a nail gun at the beginning. Big mistake! Well, we learned for next time! Yours looks great!

  41. Debbie says

    August 6, 2010 at 2:14 pm

    Nice! My hubby added some crown molding to our living room so it would match the dining room. It made a huge difference for us too. I love it. I also really love the mirrors on both sides of the hutch and the white plates on the wall. So nice!

    Thanks for linking to Transform tuesday!

    August 6, 2010 at 7:55 pm

  44. Kate says

    August 6, 2010 at 7:56 pm

    I love what crown molding does for a room! We used some reclaimed molding in our master bedroom, and now I’m hoping to put it in every room of the house. I agree that filling all those holes is a bear. The finished product is so worth it! Here visiting from Tatertots and Jello’s weekend wrap-up party!

  45. Kelly says

    August 6, 2010 at 8:09 pm

    Awesome!! The corner pieces sound like a life saver. I’ve always wanted to put up crown molding but mitering scared me! Thanks for the great how to!

    You are absolutely brilliant! I have wanting to have crown molding put up, but at $25.00 per corner, plus materials just didn’t want to pay to have it done. I (me, not paying anyone!)am going to do this in my kitchen. Again, thanks for the wonderful tutorial!

  55. Jo Lynn says

    August 8, 2010 at 6:09 am

    You make it look so easy. I’m going to try in a small room first…maybe office or laundry room. And personally, I love the red. I have two red rooms and they are my favorites!! I know, to each his own, right? Great job and I’m anxious to spend some time looking around on your blog.

    Awesome tips for the crown-molding. I have to say I LOVE the color of the walls. It’s actually, *chuckle* the color of my dining room & I wouldn’t change it. What we had was 5-7 layers of wallpaper & they were all ugly. We have a fireplace in the dining room & the brick is sort of rust colored & it stuck out so much & looked awful against the almost white wallpaper that I had a few people tell me I should just tear the fireplace out so it would look better. NOPE, that was too big a project for me since I had to tear down drop-down ceilings & have the light wired. Our house is almost 100 years old & is plaster & lathe so we opted to texture the ceiling & walls & then paint it rust. It’s gorgeous & I’ve been thinking we need to finish it off with crown molding but wasn’t sure when I could get my dad over to cut & install the pieces. With this wonderful tip I think hubby & I can do it on our own if we borrow my dad’s nail gun. When the living room gets finished I’ll do the same thing in there so it matches nicely.

    The crown molding really did a great job at your dining room. It really changed your room a lot seeing the before and after picture. You also made a big change for your hutch. It really looked boring before but after that make-over, you really made it so beautiful. Job well done!

  61. Amber says

    September 7, 2010 at 9:37 am

  65. Dawn says

    August 21, 2013 at 4:17 pm

    I have been scouring the web forever looking for a picture like this! Ok, how did you end the molding in the middle of the wall that goes to the archway/doorway? Is it just bluntly cut? Is there a certain way to finish it? The previous owners of our house did an awful job on the molding and it’s all rough and horrible looking. Can I see a close up of it?

You can caulk the gaps.And if this seems too complicated, you can get something called corner blocks which fit on the corners over the molding and make it so you don’t have to deal with the corners of your crown molding!  Here’s a tutorial on how to do that at DecorChick.

A lot has changed in the past few years—personally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve been through some heavy seasons… but I’ve also done a lot of healing, growing, and rebuilding.🙏

And now? I’m coming back to this space with intention.
Not to just “post content,” but to share what’s real. What’s working. What’s worth it.

So here’s what you’ll find here now:

• Wellness that feels good and fits into real life
• Fitness and strength-building (yep, I lift—and love it!)
• Little peeks into our new home and everyday life
• Beauty, inside and out
• And an opportunity to join me in a business that’s been a total blessing—and just might be for you too

This page has always been a part of me—many of you know me as DecorChick. That version of me is still here… it’s just evolving into something more.🥹

And if you’re curious about the thing that’s helped me feel better, have more energy, and create a new stream of income…

Drop “INFO” in the comments and I’ll send you the details + an invite to my private Facebook group!

So glad you’re here. Truly. Let’s grow together 💫

Getting stronger—inside and out!💪 I’m not Getting stronger—inside and out!💪

I’m not just building muscle—I’m building longevity.

There’s something powerful about moving heavy weight. It reminds me of what I’m capable of—not just physically, but mentally too.

Lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics. For women, it’s essential. Here’s why:

1. It preserves bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis

💪As we age—especially post-menopause—our bone density naturally declines. Lifting weights helps slow or even reverse that loss, reducing the risk of fractures and improving long-term mobility.

2. It builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism

💪Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, which means strength training supports fat loss and makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting.

3. It reduces the risk of chronic diseases and supports long-term health

💪Lifting improves insulin sensitivity, lowers inflammation, and supports heart and brain health—helping reduce your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own strength journey—this is your sign. It’s never too late, and you don’t have to be perfect—just consistent.☺️

What’s something you’ve done lately that made you feel strong? Drop it below—I wanna cheer you on!🎉

6 years without alcohol. Honestly… still one of 6 years without alcohol.

Honestly… still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.☺️

Not because I hit some big rock bottom. But because I wanted more — more peace, more clarity, more freedom to not let wine-o-clock dictate my life.🍷

Saying no to alcohol has allowed me to say YES to so many other things:

👫Deep, honest relationships
☀️Early mornings without regret
💕Trusting myself fully
🥹Feeling everything, numbing nothing
🙏And being so at peace in my own skin

If you’re sober, sober curious, or even just thinking about your relationship with alcohol — I’d love to hear your story. Share it in the comments or send me a message. You’re not alone!

Here’s to living fully, feeling everything, and having the ultimate FREEDOM!🙌
