As a renter, I’ve yet to live in a place with gorgeous high-end architectural features. And I’m not exactly paying those gorgeous, high-end prices, so it makes sense! But that doesn’t mean I don’t want those details—actually I want them bad. I’m always trying a cost-effective design hack here or an update there, to glam up the look of our flat in a way that won’t rob us of our security deposit.

Hey friends! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the house tour I posted yesterday on Instagram of HDawg's bedroom and bathroom. For those of you who didn't see my posts over there, I've decided to share more of our "before we moved in" house tour shots on my Instagram account (@tenjuneblog). There are just soooo many photos that haven't made it to a blog post yet, so I thought I'd take advantage of the new multi-photo swipe tool and share these tours as some mini-posts on Instagram instead! Let me know what you think and let me know if you have any questions about the spaces! Next up, I'll be sharing Lu's little girl room, my home office, our dining room and our laundry room! Today, here on the blog, I wanted to share something that I spent a TON of time researching during our build process- farmhouse trim. To be honest, I had no clue about trim work. When our builder started throwing out phrases like "cove moulding" I basically had to Google interpret what he was saying. We started with saying to our builder- here's a photo of what we like! To which he would reply- that is four times more expensive than your budget! #ouch And the funny thing is that we didn't even want anything fancy or ornate, just some basic, simple farmhouse trim. Clean lines. True to the modern farmhouse design. That's it. So we headed to the local hardware store and essentially played with the pieces they had there to come up with our own formula for simple + cheap farmhouse trim. David and I met with our carpenter team (who by the way, may have been one of the best teams during our house build, they were amazing with all of the custom pieces they did for us! but that's another post!) and they helped us confirm what we were looking for. So here it is- the magic formula! Our combination for the perfect, simple + cheap farmhouse trim. Our doors and windows are all identically framed. We framed each door/window on either side with a vertical 1x 4, then on the top piece with a horizontal 1 x 6. Above the 1x6, we added a horizontal simple cove moulding strip (the rounded part) and on top of that, a horizontal 1 x 2 firring strip. Four main pieces, people and you get this beautiful trim work. I absolutely love how it turned out. I love that it's not ornate and I love that it matches the style of our house (this would also work very well in a Craftsman house). I love that we didn't add another horizontal strip between the 1x4 and the 1x6 (something we went back and forth on for awhile and ultimately decided against to keep it... wait for it... simple). Did I mention I love this trim? ; ) We also added a few other things around the house in terms of trim work to give it an "old school" farmhouse touch, like transoms over a few of the interior doorways. They bounce around so much light and make our already 9 foot tall ceilings look even larger. It's all in the details! Have you ever tried your own trim work? This stuff ain't no joke!
Update 9-25-17 Floor and Fixtures 6-5-17 Over the weekend I added the trim to the bathroom door and painted. The Parts of the door trim are similar to the pillasters on the sliding door. They are recessed and built by using 3/4" MDF and panel moulding. The top portion was built using pine on and using a method on the table saw of making a raised panel similar to a cabinet door. There is crown moulding on the top and some smaller panel moulding under that too. Here it is in place before being primed. I filled and primed it off the door so I could really do a good job getting into all the tight spots while filling and priming. I added an appilique in the center after it was installed. I painted it separately and then attached it. It's much easier than trying to paint while in place. ---------------------------------------------------- So on this project we are working on a newly constructed master bedroom addition that is 13'X32' with a vaulted ceiling. We are matching the existing trim style in the house which is a Victorian / Crafstman style throughout. The first project was installing the three piece flying crown buildup along the top of the wall. There was also the window which was trimmed out using the same two moulding profiles as the crown. For the three pieces of crown I used a common baseboad for the bottom which is available at any big box lumber yard, a common crown profile for the middle piece and a cove profile for the top. The window trim is made up of the same but with a smaller crown under the sill. I would have used the same crown as on top but to keep it tighter to the wall the smaller one worked better. Here it is after being primed. At this point the ceiling, walls and trim are still all just primed. Now here it is with some paint before the wall has any color on it. ---------------------- This is the trim around the sliding door. I built some raised panel pilasters for the sides and used the same crown with the cove on top. The crown molding shown in this picture is before the primer was on that's why the cove on top still shows the wood color. The baseboard a crown are MDF and the cove is pine. Here it is with some paint
