Mission: surface installing crown molding around the rest of the home (with the nursery done, we still had the guest room, the playroom, as well as the hallway on our list).
Status: Complete.
And thanks to the magic of the internet, something that took us about two weeks on as well as off, will appear to have been performed in two seconds. Behold.

Yep, as I pointed out in this publish about hanging crown in Clara’s nursery, it ignited a burning wish to set up crown in the other primary areas of our home that were oddly missing it (our bedroom had it however the other bedrooms didn’t, one hallway had it however the other one that was linked to it didn’t, etc).
So we lastly got it performed in the guest bedroom (see above), Clara’s huge woman space (see below)…
… as well as even the recently-board-and-battened hallway that links them all (which was particularly practical considering that it leads to one more hallway that has crown already).
Although it took us about five days of on as well as off work to install, when we got the hang of it, it wasn’t almost as psychologically strenuous as it was physically (arms over your head holding an eight foot board up for a few days in a row = tired). Our overall expense for all four areas (guest room, Clara’s nursery, playroom, as well as the hallway) was $218, including the pack of nails for our nail gun, which breaks down to $54 per zone, although some areas like the hallway were more affordable than the bigger rooms.
And while it’s type of difficult to show the difference in pictures, in person it’s simple to see that all the time, arm-fatigue, as well as loot was worth it. Every space looks noticeably a lot more polished, however in that “I can’t truly put my finger on what’s different” kind of way. In truth you saw a great deal of the molding installed in our recent home excursion video, it just wasn’t painted yet, so we lastly got around to that. Which included a great deal a lot more of the whole arms-over-our-heads things, however it looks excellent now that it’s done (we utilized Benjamin Moore’s Decorators White in a semi-gloss finish).
Since we already did a picture tutorial of the crown installation process, we made a decision to utilize this part of the job to make a video for you people (sometimes diy videos can be less intimidating than trying to digest typed out words as well as photos that can’t always show every last angle like a video can). We tried to cover every single step as well as cram in as lots of bit ideas as well as techniques as possible along the method for you guys. Seriously, you can do this. So from measuring your angles all the method to caulking the gaps, it’s all here:
Does any individual else odor Oscar? No? I’m not speaking finest photo – I indicate finest supporting actor for the function of “intense bird screaming in the background while filming” during the outside sequences. Ah, spring.
