They aren’t selling pansies and other annuals around here yet, but these few in here somehow managed to survive the move and the winter and are blooming like crazy now.

Even though we’re not ready to tackle painting the cabinets and replacing the countertops in the kitchen, it’s time to make it feel a little more finished and comfortable..When the burlap was down, I measured the window from side to side including the moldings.

Since this window was sandwiched between two cabinets, we realized we would just need one straight piece of cornice for a nice clean look and wouldn’t need to attach the end cap pieces..I laid out two section pieces end to end and then trimmed a bit off of the third piece to make up the 40 inches that I would need total.I used my very best empty cat litter box to cut on.

It was actually great because it caught any little pieces of styrofoam that came off.The video suggested using a little saw or a utility knife for the cutting.

I used a serrated kitchen knife just to see if it would work and it was great!.

You can see this is the classic “real life”: shot.You have a wall!.

Now to fill in all your joints and screw holes..It looks and sounds boring and tedious, but I promise you it can be so simple!

Grab your drywall mud and your scraper/spatula thing and I’ll show you!.If you need to tape joints or corners, do those first.
