The New Entry

Entry

It’s time to show how the entry way looks now after the new paint and with everything back up on the walls, so come on in! All of the accessories are pretty much the same, but the only new addition is that round mirror hanging on that little wall above. It’s my new favorite thing. [...]

Molding Link Party!

Beadboard bar

Yay, it’s party time!!  You all know I have professed my love for molding, or moulding as some say, many times.  I can’t get enough of it!  I think it’s elegant, modern, classic, timeless, and just straight up cool.  So that’s why I thought it would be a fun idea to have a link party [...]

Let’s Have a Party! {A Molding Party}

Hi everyone!  As I’ve been working on the boy’s room, I was thinking it would be a great idea if I had a link party where all of you can show off any projects you’ve done that included any kind of molding, wainscoting, what have you.  That’s how I was inspired to do the paneled [...]

Wainscoting Question

living room

I’m going to add the wainscoting like I did on this wall, and in the office, to the living room.  There are really only 2 connecting walls in this room, and one of them is full of windows. So, I plan on doing it to this wall on the right… But my question is, would [...]

I Want To Do This. Should I?

Wall Inspiration

Isn’t that paneling gorgeous?  That image is from Phillip Sides who does lovely work. And I am thinking of doing it to this big wall… Sorry for the Christmas photos…it was raining and dark ALL day yesterday.  All Christmas decor is stored and put away and it feels so good. :) But my question is, [...]

Well the stairwell wall is finally complete!  Hip hip hooray! Let’s take a look at the before photos shall we? The above picture is the wall to the right of the staircase, but still the same wall. And now….the after! Ahhh, don’t you love moulding?? We continued the rail to that little wall behind the [...]

The Stairs: Picture Frame Moulding

IMG_7247

I wanted to do a separate post just about the picture moulding, because it’s kind of technical so it deserves to be talked about on its own. :) When you are trying to do wainscoting up a staircase, you are going to have odd angles and cuts.  But this new little gadget my Dad introduced [...]

What Happens When Your Dad Takes Over Your Projects…

Let me begin by saying I had made a little progress starting a gallery wall on our big empty staircase wall, but I just wasn’t feeling it.  It needed more than just pictures, so what’s the solution?  Moulding, and lots of it. So, I had told my Dad my ideas and plans for our staircase [...]

A Dining Room Turned Office

IMG_5822

*Update–the office now has wood floors!* Dining rooms are so overrated right? :)  Since I had been wanting to redo the dining room for quite some time now, the hubby and I decided to turn it into an office.  Because in all honesty, the formal dining room was used as an actual dining room maybe [...]

How To: Fake Wainscoting

Remember my “Difference Molding Can Make” post?  If you don’t, I’ll be nice and show you the after picture again when we put up the chair rail and framed boxes… I liked it, but wanted to try something different.  We have textured walls, so I was a little scared to try this, but I have [...]
