I think I have created a monster (but in a really good way!!!). My amazing hubby got the bug to do something around the house, and took on 2 projects that I have been anxious to do. The first is to add crown moulding to the powder room. I had posted about the crown we had installed about a month back in our living and dining rooms. My hubby saw some of the installation and wanted to try it himself. So off to Home Depot we went to get supplies!!!! What I like about this type of installation is it doesn't involve messy plaster moulding, and to me it seems more secure when put in place. Instead of plaster you use stripping, just plain wood you cut at a 45 degree angle on one side and screw directly into the ceiling; this way you have this extra support to nail gun your moulding in to. Here's what the stripping looks like:
Now to measure (twice), and cut and install the moulding....
While that was started, hubby also wanted to tackle the
wainscotting in our front hall. You may remember from earlier this year we installed our own shaker panels in our front entrance. I had always said I wanted this site line continued in the hall...and today it was started! Take a look:
You can see how I've traced the panels right onto the wall as a rough template to help us measure and secure on.
So there you have it, just your plain old weekend project!!!!
