The case for open sourcing

Have a great weekend, everyone!

So I made it reversible!.You can see there are some areas where it bled through from the other side when I was doing the first image.

If you look at the finished product, you can see I came up with a clever solution for this..Your image will now appear to be a light grey.You can leave it like this, which looks perfectly nice, or if you want it a little darker, just color it in with a Sharpie!

Don’t forget to place a sheet of paper underneath so the ink doesn’t bleed through!Just look at that mess I made the first time when I didn’t have the sheet of paper!.

Color, color, color.. Hmm, now what to do about all those little ink marks?

Now it’s a turkey in the grass!We decided to try to copy the style of some of the original detail, to make the room seem a little more fancy than it really is.

We noticed that the moldings at the bottom of the door casings have an extra piece that kind of pops out, rather than having the casing go straight to the floor, so we copied that around the closet too.. It’s really simple, but it makes a difference in the room..Adding crown molding is always a really fun thing to do in any space and it always really makes a big impact.

It’s easy to see pictures of really fancy versions and think you need to spend a lot, but think twice about that if you have walls that change direction a lot in your room like we do..Even the most basic crown molding that you can find at your hardware store starts to look pretty impressive when you’re making a lot of cuts and changing angles all the time.. Once again though, I will state that having someone really talented work on this project in the first place does help a lot, whether it’s you, your husband, or a friend.
