This is a picture of a plant that we hope might actually grow.. Chris built this little retaining wall in one area where we had to dig down to keep it all level.

We decided to try to copy the style of some of the original detail, to make the room seem a little more fancy than it really is.We noticed that the moldings at the bottom of the door casings have an extra piece that kind of pops out, rather than having the casing go straight to the floor, so we copied that around the closet too.. It’s really simple, but it makes a difference in the room..

Adding crown molding is always a really fun thing to do in any space and it always really makes a big impact.It’s easy to see pictures of really fancy versions and think you need to spend a lot, but think twice about that if you have walls that change direction a lot in your room like we do..Even the most basic crown molding that you can find at your hardware store starts to look pretty impressive when you’re making a lot of cuts and changing angles all the time.. Once again though, I will state that having someone really talented work on this project in the first place does help a lot, whether it’s you, your husband, or a friend.

These moldings might be basic, but the work is still pretty impressive here!.Seriously, don’t you think Chris should teach a class or something?

That real beadboard ceiling sitting right next to that trim doesn’t hurt anything either!.
