I wanted to dress up the passthrough between the family room and the living room and wanted more of a separation between the two rooms, so I made some columns

I thought this project was going to be easy-and it would have been, had the walls been straight and even from one end to the other. This was a major challenge to keep the columns straight yet keeping them parallel to the crooked walls in order not to accentuate how crooked they were. Ugh, seriously I wanted to curl up and cry several times, but I love the end result.

I think I’m going to hold off on my list of wood working projects and get back to remodeling the spare bath. be back in a month with (I hope) with a coffered ceiling in the family room.

It’s astonishing how out of square and crooked the walls in our homes can be sometimes! lol! These turned out very nice and really make a statement…I love it! :) Good work

It looks very good – I noticed the window toppers in the last pic – did you make those, too? I’m going to be doing something like that this fall with polyurethane molding. It all looks so good, I like the wall color, too! It really dresses up a place, doesn’t it?

Great job! It definitely adds character to your rooms.

I looked at your other project & you are doing a WONDERFUL
job of trimming out your home!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone!

Vasko, I did make them. Our house did not have any trim around the windows (minus a sill and apron), and I wanted something more than just a standard trim that you see everywhere-def makes the house look more upscale.

Nicely conceived and done. Bravo! Running trim can be fun when you don’t have to do it for a living.

always,
