Just beautiful. Where is the china cabinet you and Dad hauled in a trailer, pulling it with that old Jeep CJ5, to DC when you were stationed there? Don't want to forget it! It was in the heat of summer and with no air conditioning in that Jeep. What memories

I just moved it out of the hall for the photos because you couldnt see the trim! It's still there:-)

Anita, what about replacing the white crown molding and replacing it with some wood to match the rest of the wood? What about some pressed tin ceiling tiles for your hallway? Just some ideas that were popping into my head!! You work so hard and your home is proof of it. Just beautiful.

Thanks so much Monica! Yes, I would love to replace the crown but there's a lot of it, and I don't have enough old. I'd also love to use ceiling tiles and some beams maybe, but again, because there is so much open ceiling, it would be very expensive for materials as well as very time consuming. Actual wood crown stained like this is really expensive as well:-)

Anita I love what you did! Before I moved to coastal SC, I lived in an 18th century house in CT, there were chestnut beams in the cellar and floor boards in the attic! How I wished we moved the chestnut floor boards down to the main floor! I love all things old! I miss my old house in CT, but things changed and we live in a cute cottage in a lovely neighborhood...but I have a reclaimed wood folding counter on top of my washer and dryer, and the treasure of all time, a dear husband of my oldest friend, made me a reclaimed barn table from wood from an old share croppers house on their NC property! I love your posts.

WOW, it looks stunning! Such a difference. And so much character added with the reclaimed wood!

It looks fantastic! Linda
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much Linda!!
DeleteNice work. It looks rich.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverley! I think that was partly my motivation, because the cheap mdf trim is always painted white, and you just cannot buy this kind od wood trim without spending a lot of money, and for me it was just a whole lot of really hard work:-)
