ADDING CHARACTER WITH MOLDING AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS ......

My husband has added molding to just about every inch of our 1963 ranch home to give it some much needed character...
Great guy that he is, he also made this beautiful corner built-in in our kitchen from a picture I showed him...
I found this outdoor trellis and we nailed it to the wall on the opposite side of the kitchen to add interest and height...
Old picture frames that I've found at flea markets and garage sales, also add some fun interest...

  16. I love built-ins. I'm always evaluating areas in my home to see if I can add another one. Yours turned out wonderful. Nothing adds character like moulding. Stop by Brambly and take a peek at some of my woodwork, I'd love to hear from you. Have a beautiful day!
