Doors, Trim Back & Paneling | Novel Add-On | Calendar Week 20

The fun is starting fourth dimension at the identify - nosotros officially receive got plumbing, electrical, hvac and... drywall!  Whew, it seems impossible that it has taken us twenty weeks to teach here, but that way nosotros exclusively receive got 10 left.  Right now, 10 seems similar goose egg - inwards fact, when I placed my lighting guild together with they said it is supposed to accept 8-9 weeks, I thought, wow... I dear that it is "go time" for everything.   The pull per unit of measurement area is on - everything I persuasion I knew, I've alter i time together with then dorsum again.

We are coming together amongst the factory operate salesman i time again tomorrow morning time to brand in conclusion decisions on Doors, Trim together with Paneling.  We had an initial coming together in conclusion calendar week to teach some cost ideas, together with then nosotros are finalizing selections tomorrow.

Here is the 1st Floor Layout amongst Trim inspirations inwards place.   Bear amongst me every bit nosotros teach through the entire firstly floor.  This procedure helps me mentally organize together with ever proves to aid me brand decisions every bit yous all (with clear heads!) aid indicate out ideas together with cracking choices!

I realize all of the photos I'm sharing are of really fancy houses - I assure you, our identify volition non survive this fancy.  I am taking modest bits together with pieces from these to add together some elegance together with former charm to our "new" former home.  As always, I dear hearing your ideas together with input - cheers for lending me your ideas : )

The higher upward photograph is my inspiration for the kitchen isle top, amongst marble surround... final!  I've been wavering nigh it for a piece together with move along coming dorsum to a duad of photos that confirm it for me.  I realized that it is of import for me to pick out everything ahead of time, because each determination effects the other.  I also similar the photograph higher upward because of the paneling on the walls - the entire room is paneled.  We are going to elbow grease to attain the same matter inwards our novel large room.  Because it actually is but i large room, nosotros desire to do a lot of things to arrive experience cozy - paneling is a cracking way to do that.  We programme to pigment the entire room the color of the cabinetry to plow over the entire room the expect of beingness built-in.

This photograph (above, left) is i of the photos I sent to our cabinetry maker to demo how I desire the shoe kick/base boards of the cabinets, together with how I'd similar the crown amongst both pieces to teach along the transcend cabinets together with wrap but about the entire room.




Another large chemical ingredient that we're working amongst is the beams inwards our large giant room.  We receive got i structural steel I-Beam that nosotros involve to brand pretty, therefore nosotros are adding an entire beam programme to the entire ceiling.  We receive got exclusively 8-foot ceilings, therefore our beams volition exclusively survive 4-6" deep, but 10-12" wide.  The beams going left to correct volition survive deeper, together with then the beams going perpendicular volition survive a picayune smaller inwards scale.


We receive got a fireplace inwards the room together with I'd similar to plow over it a paneled handling much similar this photo.  We're planning a rock surround, similar to the i shown here.  This photograph shows existent raised paneling - really expensive.  We volition probable do a raised perimeter cut down piece, but the large slice inwards the centre volition survive flat... does that brand whatsoever sense?   The other alternative is but adding a moving-picture demo frame cut down inwards boxes but about the room to plow over the paneled effect.

I've got some examples below.

This is some other fireplace persuasion that I like.  I'm non certain nigh the box persuasion - it would coordinate amongst our windows that are a similar shape.

Here is an instance of Picture Frame Moldings.  We don't receive got that many walls inwards the room - generally windows together with cabinets, therefore nosotros are leaning toward actual paneling instead, but this moving-picture demo frame moldings are a cracking look, too, for a lot less. because they are but doing the modest cut down piece.

I recall it looks practiced - what I'm leaning towards to salve some coin to pass on hardware... which, every bit it turns out tin survive pretty pricey.

On to the library - where nosotros are going to pass our biggest chunk on paneling.  Mike together with I receive got been most excited nigh the woods handling inwards this room - what nosotros promise to survive a actually cozy corner of the house.   When nosotros were planning the design, nosotros decided if nosotros receive got such an opened upward flooring plan, nosotros needed a tranquility corner inwards the identify that would receive got a snuggly feel.

After realizing every photograph nosotros pinned was Pine, nosotros decided that would survive it.  We similar the medium color, the manifestly together with uncomplicated feel.  The salesman has tried to steer us away... but I resisted trusting my gut.  Let's promise it doesn't come upward dorsum to haunt me!

 He warned us that pino tin survive erratic to stain - blotchy - together with inconsistent inwards color.  He recommended that nosotros do some other woods similar Maple or Alder.  However, my inspiration photos were consistently pine, therefore that's what we're doing.

I've institute that yous receive got to operate amongst people that are willing to plow over yous their suggestions together with develop you, but at the halt of the day, they must survive willing to do what yous desire them to do.  There receive got been therefore many projects I've worked on that the 'pro' has told me it wouldn't operate - together with it turns out but every bit I hoped.  Let's promise this is i of them : )

I love, love, dear this photo.  We are going to do a similar chair rails handling inwards the front end lobby that volition teach upward the stairs.  I recall it volition actually elevate the way our identify feels when yous teach into the front end door.  The cut down color hither is Ben Moore Navajo White, (what nosotros volition survive using everywhere), amongst James White (Farrow &  Ball) on the wall.   I had planned on doing Navajo white on our walls, too, but this is tempting me to add together some James White on the walls of the lobby together with Hall.  What do yous think?

For interior doors, nosotros are planning these 4-paneled Jeld-Wen doors.  I similar the proportion they give, together with expect leaner together with taller than a measure 6-panel door.  It sealed the bargain for me when I spotted them inwards the photograph above, too.

See that peek-a-boo of the nighttime painted dutch door going into this mudroom?  I'm planning the same from our kitchen into the mudroom.  The remainder of the mudroom volition survive the domicile to our pantry, my studio/office together with Mr. Darcy... non piles of equestrian gear : )

 I desire to do rows of peg boards similar this to concur everything from coats together with backpacks to Canis familiaris leashes.

 And the occasional gardening tool.

Ok, my encephalon is overloaded... that's what happens when in that location are therefore many decisions to survive made.  I'm off to query affordable bass door knobs... whatsoever suggestions?!
