Girl’s Bedroom Textile Reveal

I LOVE trim…It is TRULY my weakness!  

I pretty much have it in EVERY room in my house and I just keep adding more:)
(Is there such a thing as TOO much trim?…I think NOT)! 

My cute hubby loves trim as much as I do, I’m the one that comes up with the CRAZY trim ideas and he’s the one that trys to “understand” my vision and make it happen.  Trim work is his hobby. I do have to brag on him for a sec and say that I totally scored in the handy man department 🙂  Love ya babe!

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!

When starting out, you need to decide if you want to cover the main wall with sheet rock or 1/4″ MDF board.  The MDF costs more, but is so worth it if you don’t want to spend the time plastering your sheet rock to give it a smooth finish.  Most wall textures are an egg shell finish.
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 🙂

Happy Trimming!
