Nine foot high ceilings makes it a little more difficult to do the soffit and crown. Working on a step ladder instead of my lower installers bench...can be awkward. Checking and re-checking the fit of every piece gets tedious.....making sure both ends fit precisely. There is only enough crown moulding to do it right the first time....one false move and you will run short....and have to wait to reorder and ship another piece.
Island cabinets being a different color....is trending.

Gas fireplace is so much less work and mess.....But .....I've been supplementing my oil burning hot water heating system with a wood burning stove since I built my house in '77.....cutting, splitting, drying and storing all that wood adds up to a lot of work.....and makes a mess. When my 100 year old mother in law lived here with us....she insisted on having the wood stove going at all times.......it's in the room where she spent most of her day. |

Wow.....that is amazingly similar.........
and I like your version very much.
Ours is on a sloping lot so it's a walkout in the back....
Makes for a nice finished basement.

Happened in my own kitchen!!! Was short by the length of the miter on a 16 inch run.... Drives me nuts. I gotten to putting in a $500 bounty, paid to me, if person ordering shorts me on moldings. |
