Carpet & Crown Molding

Crown molding in the living and dining room!

Guest Room

The beloved "before" photo of the guest room:

I have to say that I love my husband's ability to visualize design. Take a look at this, what do you see?

Zach saw a dark stained, wood paneled wall. Using a chop saw and two different size beams (a square beam and a 2x4) we cut slices of each, allowing the depth of each to vary. Using thin set, Zach applied the wood slices to the wall as though they were tile. Below is a close up photo of the finished product:

After sanding the edges of each piece we either stained them (using Minwax's "English Chestnut") or applied them to the wall then stained them using a spray bottle. We don't recommend the spray bottle technique as it quickly makes its way to the floor and surrounding walls.

To finish the look we applied a border (made out of 2x4's) around the perimeter of the "wood wall". We used a chop saw to cut the complimentary angles - yay trigonometry!
