The walls in our nursery were begging for a little personality so we decided to add chair rail and picture frame molding.
Welcome to day three of my 31 day series, Building Character. Yesterday, I talked about the board and batten wainscoting in my master bedroom. Today, I'd like to share our picture frame molding in the dining room... Like the bedroom, the dining room seriously lacked any hint of a personality when we moved in. Since it is the first room you see upon entering our home, I wanted it to be special. (The baseboards and shoe moldings are not finished in these photos. They were removed for the new floors a few days ago...just sayin'). Our home is overall casual but this room is mainly used for family entertaining. I went with the picture frame molding treatment in this space because it's a little more formal than board and batten. My husband was the artist behind this masterpiece. The trick to this project and the most time consuming part is measuring. This project was completed long before the birth of this blog so unfortunately we did not document the process for a tutorial. There are a ton of internet tutorials out there. Rhoda has a fabulous step by step tutorial. This is not the process we used however, it will take you through the steps she used to get the same look in her gorgeous dining room. This project is very cost effective and gave the room the character it lacked. The recent addition of our "wood floors" enhanced the white moldings and gave it a bigger presence. Here you can see what it looked like prior to the new floors... Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow! You can see all 31 posts in this series by clicking here.
