This week Parker has been working on installing the crown moulding and filling holes and sanding (never ending job). Here are a few pictures of the crown. We chose to go with Metrie’s True Craft Scene I crown even though our baseboard is in Metrie’s Very Square collection. We chose this crown because we think it will go better with the modern farmhouse moulding we plan to add. We also added our own flair to the crown. I think it will look great! Here are some pics:
I’m so excited about the way it is all turning out, which is good because this is taking forever 🙂 We agreed last night that this room needs to be done/functional by the time school starts. Honestly, that’s probably about the timeline needed. So, we are looking at a beginning of August completion. There are just so many details! I’ll give you another update next week. In the meantime, check out Metrie’s website. They have so many cool mouldings! They also have a fun quiz you can take to figure out which of their collections fits your design style. I loved it because I liked Very Square when deciding on my own, but then they also pointed me in that direction with their quiz #theygetme #clearlyaveryscientificandaccuratetest. Take the quiz.
Also, if you didn’t catch my post Wednesday night (posted later than usual), check it out. I talked about our experience with buying a mattress on the internet (or two mattresses 🙂 ). If you are in need of a mattress, I think its a must read!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Jalene,
Your choice of crown molding is perfect. I love the detailed work. Extra time is always needed for such a wonderful and beautiful mud room. Who would guess this is really a mud room? Quite a treasure of a room.
Mattress issues: yes, you have hit on a very difficult problem trying to find a good supportive mattress when you spend at least 7 to 8 hours every night sleeping. It needs to be the best. I did not know about all the interesting points you made about shopping on-line for a good nights sleep. Love, Diana
Thank you! Can’t wait for you guys to see it when you get home!
