Paneling , wainscoting, beadboard ???I am in the considering stage of what to do with the bedroom walls? of course I could paint stripes in two shades of cream , very inexpensive , but I love moulding , and I have always wanted to install it in there , the bedroom is my spring summer project, my husband also like the moulding idea .

what strikes fear in this handy girl ???Turns out it is a nail gun , with a compressor that sends shivers down my spine. There is more to me not having a proper brad nailer up until now than just the funds . I fear compressors, I can not pin point why , but when I turned it on , and it is a loud one { and that's ok}, my fear took over . …

Coat rack /key holder* the reason I went with the sea star and small hook off to one side was because that side has an extra two inches so I made it a feature , and yes for keys , I think it would work very well. I listed it for $45.00 we will see.I have been pondering making this piece of trim , well wainscoting into …
