Favorite home DIY yet...I'm obsessed!!!

Hi friends...this may be my FAVORITE home DIY yet...OUR NEW HALF WALL...besides the design, all of the credit this time goes to my husband...he did it all and I couldn't be happier with the result...we've been pondering the idea for years and finally took the plunge...what a difference it makes...take a look at the result...sorry for the pictorial overload...I told you I'm obsessed!!
these are pics of before from both sides...



UH OH....LOTS of wires!!!!!!

our friendly onlooker....Hudson




WOOHOOT!!!!!!!


the making of the faux column...


all trim & first coat of paint complete










LOVE the molding!!!!


He did a great job tying it into the kitchen counter...

almost 20 years in this 1963 ranch and all of the moldings my husband has added has made our house our home...






So happy we finally did it!!
