Pin It Unless you are fortunate to live in a historical home, anything built after the 1960s and 70s sorely lacks any quality architectural features. When we moved into our home ten years ago, it was very disheartening to go from a glorious historical home with amazing woodwork to a 1970s feature-less dwelling.  Beadboard and chair rail added to the master bath. Read about more about our Beadboard project .  Beadboard added to the back of the kitchen island.  Beadboard wallpaper added to 1/2 bath in Pretty in Purple   Trim moulding to top of cabinets gives them a polished finish.    Ceiling medallions are inexpensive and a great way to add interest.   Don't get me wrong, I love my house but really miss all that beautiful detail and what's with the textured walls anyway?

Pin It Many of you may remember my Quick and Easy Guide to Stepping Stones from last summer. If not, you can read more about that  here . While most of you liked the idea and planned to try it, there were a few realists out there who doubted how well they would hold up through the winter. Just between you and me, I was a little nervous myself. In fact, I was nervous enough that I did not continue making the stones last  summer. I wanted to see for myself if they would hold up during the winter.  Same view. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they look fantastic! So much so, in fact, that I plan to add some new stones this  Spring! The grass, not so much.
