Every summer we have attempted to try and take on a project at our house. This summer it was crown moulding. This project, although our idea, was really put into the hands of my Dad and brother. It was a little more than what we and they were thinking it would be due to some of the odd angles and corners in our living area. Kurt and I painted the moulding in our garage and my Dad and Chad arrived Thursday night and started cutting it and putting it up on Friday morning. They taught Kurt and I how to caulk the moulding and the four of us finished doing that on Saturday afternoon. Once they left on Saturday, we debated on taking a break but decided to go ahead and finish it out. We touched up the corners and nail holes with more paint and used our wall paint to go under the moulding. We finally laid down around 9pm Saturday night and were completely exhausted. I'm sure my Dad and Chad would say the same. We couldn't ever thank them enough for taking this on with us and for all of their hard work and help. Here are some pictures of what we all accomplished this weekend. Random project: an old window I picked up and then added some vintage prints to for our bathroom.
The rest of the pictures are before and after the moulding went up...

After thought: After we finished the moulding, Kurt and I were just sitting at home on Saturday night admiring the work that had been done and thinking that it really added so much to our house. As we were just staring at everything, I added - "Don't you think it would really bring out the moulding if we painted the ceilings the same color as our walls?" His response - "Maybe we'll save that for next summer's project." Any thoughts?
