(Is there such a thing as TOO much trim?…I think NOT)!
We have MANY different types of trim throughout the house, so I figured I would have to break them up over a couple of different posts.
Let’s start with the basement…first stop
The Girly Room!
We made sure NOT to texture the walls and left them PERFECTLY smooth, no texture, so we could use it as the canvas for trim work. You really save A LOT time and money not having to buy big sheets of flat 1/4 inch board to achieve that smooth trim appearance.
Here is how we did it…
The Main Wall
Supplies we used..
Crown Molding
1×4 inch MDF board
1×6 inch MDF for baseboards
decorative trim…used to trim the inner squares
and of course wood glue, pneumatic air gun, and lots filling holes sanding.
Without the paint, it is easy to see the steps we did to accomplish the look. It is easy to see the bare wall at this point. Pretty much all we did was frame the entire wall out with MDF boards and created the pattern we wanted. Next came cutting the decorative trim to each and every square.
Stacked Crown
I LOVE stacked crown! Ohhhh it just gives me goose bums. This is sooo easy to do and saves you so much money than having to buy it as one piece.
What Brett did to accomplish this look was first nailing the MDF board and then placing the crown over the top tip of the MDF board, lastly adding the decorative piece of trim at the bottom.
When the trim is painted it looks seamless, check it out below!
(Notice the blue paint..YES, I have painted since the last picture..But that’s a entirely different story 🙂
Here is the Room all done ready to be painted…
Here is the room once it was Sprayed white and painted pink..
( Pink Paint… Sea Shell by Laura Ashley and the chandelier is from Pottery Barn Kids )
One last look at the room…
You can Sooooo do this if you’re up for the challenge!
Happy Trimming!

Hey all..
I bought the chandelier from pottery barn a few years back, it was called the Mia. I think you can get it off of ebay??
The baseboards are 1×6 MDF boards! I LOVE MDF

Just found your blog today, courtesy of Layla! Love all the rooms you and your hubby have done. Megan's room turned out so very beautiful. Love all the trim, a little girls dream room!
I found this blog through the Lettered Cottage and I love your bed. Is the headboard/footboard new? If so, can you share where you purchased it? Also, I noticed the white matelasse/quilts were different from one picture to the next. Are they both from T.J. Maxx?
Love the whole picture.
Dear Anonymous 🙂

Beautiful job. Im looking for trim ideas for a basement rec room theatre and your work is inspiring. Thanks for the photos and info. -Erwin-
Really useful blog.Good work keeping this updated!
I have a website about nursery chandelier
Beautiful! love the sconces too…a way to change out the textured ceiling if interested is with pressed tin or tin look panels, possibly painted white, as it is, it's beautiful! Sally
That room is probably the most fabulous thing I've seen in ages.
