HOME DECOR: MOLDINGS AND MILLWORK - FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY

Breaking out of the TRACT HOME look ...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Decorating a room doesn't have to be intimidating if you break it up into stages.  <br /><br /><br /><br />Good design consists of layers; the first of which begins at the walls, windows, ceilings and floors of a room.   Why settle for builders grade selections when you can add the touches that create interest, beauty and character in a room?  Why have boring walls and uninteresting windows and extremely ordinary ceilings and floors, when with a little imagination, you can have something LESS ORDINARY?<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">CROWN MOLDING AND BASE MOLDING</span></div>Must haves are improvements in the base moldings, door and window casings.   Adding crown molding finishes a room, draws your eye up and raises your ceilings - not literally, but it makes it feel that way.  <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
