The crown molding is done!!

For my birthday last year I asked my husband to install crown molding in our master bedroom.  My birthday was in March and thank goodness he got it done with one month to spare!  It looks awesome and he was even painting it when I got home from work yesterday.  AMAZING. One last thing I need to worry about doing.  The only bad thing, I realized when I was lying in bed that he painted it with flat paint instead of the semi-gloss that is on the rest of our trim….would you change it?  I  can tell, but I’m not sure anyone else would especially if they weren’t looking for it.

This is our bedroom (pre crown molding)

Here is some of the crown molding right across from our bed

And Ben pulling down the tape last night (see the crown behind his head...those angle cuts were terrible to do!)

Next house projects on my list.  I want to stain our kitchen cabinets.  I have found several tutorials on pinterest and so now I just need to decide what color stain.  Most people I’ve seen have done a java stain which is really dark and I think I’d prefer something a little lighter and more rustic, not quite so contemporary looking.  Maybe a mahogany or walnut color stain.

And I also decided yesterday that as soon as it gets warm out I’m painting our garage door black.  Again pinterest came to save the day here, I found several photos and I think the black looks nice.  Here are the photos I found and liked. here, here, and here

Just trying to keep myself busy over here…
