Xmas Wreath project

Virginia over at LiveloveDIY made this gorgeous wreath and hung it in 
front of her gorgeous mirror! Love this. Had to copy. She gives the how-to's. 


I would kill for this mirror! She did a beautiful job turning it silver.

I hate to show mine next to hers! ;(   
Oh well, it's my first. got all the bulbs at Big Lots.

Sylvania Ohio wainscot project before and after

Phase II of the overall remodel project included installing new waiscoting down the entry hallway.  This ties in with the built-in constructed a month prior.  Eventually, the plan is to work this design into the kitchen.

Here is a before picture of the hallway...


And the nearly completed waiscot...

And here you can see how it ties into the built-in...

A nice little mantle project

The past several weeks have been filled with larger projects, namely a vinyl siding job and a deck project.  Now its time to get back to the projects I really like, and update the blog!

One of the things on the list is a mantle for over a fireplace.  The mantle needs to be roughly 60" long, and the customer wants to incorporate crown molding with dentil molding as well.  Typically, this is sold as a two piece combination, with the crown installed first, and the dentil applied to the crown second.

Ive built the box for the mantle out of poplar - pretty simple stuff, and now on to the good stuff...

What I really want is 3/4" overhang of the top, past the crown.  To get that, Ive marked the location at one end with a sample piece of crown, and then marked the other end for the overall length...



Once Ive got the top cut, I can work in the crown molding (obviously the photos show Im working on the piece upside down on the workbench)...


Typically, I hide a business card somewhere on my projects, in this case I stuck one behind the crown.  Ok, call me weird, just something Ive always done...

Heres the crown attached.  Whenever possible, I use a nailer that shoots a headless pin (along with glue of course).  Theyre almost undetectable.

Now its time to attach the dentil trim.  I start on one end, and see how it works out at the opposite end. The ultimate objective would be to have two matching blocks on both ends!  Fortunately, Ive had enough insight to do a proper layout to begin with, and it works out great!


Time for sanding and painting!
