For a few months now, Christi has had this idea of revamping our dining room. She has always had an idea of changing up some colors and then adding picture frame molding boxes below our chair rail. I always liked the red that used to be below it, but hey, this gave me an excuse to buy a mitre saw and a nail gun.

After a couple of weeks of measuring, measuring and more measuring I started to cut all of the pieces. In doing so, I was able to tell myself that I needed to brush up on my geometry. Two straight days of going to the hardware store ... for more molding ... and then it was time to put it up. I've always said that I loved my engineering background in college since it taught me how to think and solve problems in a different manner and I applied that when putting these up. I talked to my dad and watched some YouTube videos, but then decided to go my own route and was extremely happy I did. I was able to get all of the boxes to line up near perfectly. However, don't get me wrong, I usually don't go against what Erich tells me too often! Here are some before (after priming the bottom red paint) and after pictures:
