Day 61

We didn’t have work today so Kevin did a lot of work on the house. He began adding moldings to the dining room to add some character to the large room. We searched Pinterest for a bunch of ideas, we landed on this…

Now our turn…

Chair moldings being installed. As you can see the back of the hutch hasn't been attached yet so you can see straight into the second bedroom.

Kevin cut sheets of MDF to make these moldings. Made this project pretty affordable.

Kevin used a laser level to ensure consistency (since our floors are sloping…and missing in places haha)

Day 25

Carpet was installed in our bedroom today! We love the color.

So glad we went with gray!

No furniture in the house means naps must be taken on the new carpet. Ok by us! Plastic is still laid that's why it's so shiny.

Kevin also picked up the crown molding at Hacienda Plywood (the kind that matches the Craftsman feel of our house could not be purchased at Lowes) and then installed it in our bedroom and closet and then painted it.

I found this simple guide online for picking moldings that match your historical home:
