Crown for the Office

I should save this for a tribute to the royal wedding…

This week-end we installed crown molding for the first time.  We decided to start in the office.  It was the room I wanted to do last but luckily Nate is the rational one in the relationship. 

The office was a good first choice because it doesn’t have any tricky corners or a return vent that is located right next to the ceiling…like our master bedroom and dining room.  We have a fix for the vent in mind.  We’ll share that when we get there.

Nate busted out his fancy lens that I’m not allowed to touch until I read the camera manual.

And a close up…

What did we learn along the way?

We’ll share that info tomorrow!

**I have no vision for this room.  If anyone has any brilliant suggestions (especially for our built-ins)..do share!**

  4. I'm looking forward to the tutorial. I love the way it looks. I've tried adding crown molding to a bookcase and that almost sent me over the edge. I admire anyone who can tackle and entire room!

  9. Splendid piece of crown molding! It really gives your home office a deeper feeling of grandeur, and it also blends well with the walls and just everything in the room. That is not just a home office space right there - it is perfection.
