Ah...terminating crown moulding - the design nuisance those of us with partial or split walls have to deal with. In most rooms crown terminates into itself because of the square/rectangular nature of the space. In rooms that have a fireplace, varying wall height or, like in my master bath, a split in the wall, you are left with 3 options: a hanging return, a corbel return or a finial return.

For those of you who like things all in one place (for the sake of pinning or referring back) I've created a round-up page for you with a link to all 4 projects.

Today is day 4 of our Easy (and Inexpensive) Cabinet Updates where I share the 4 tricks I used to make my builder grade cabinets look custom (for around $100 total).

For our last quick and easy trick, we are going to make our kitchen cabinets look like furniture. I'm sure you've seen the countless cabinets with beautiful designs at the bottom on the cabinets.

For part 3 of the Easy (and Inexpensive) Cabinet Updates series we are talking about drawers. I don't know about you, but the little drawers in my kitchen are flat panel drawers. Why they chose to do this when every other drawer in the kitchen has trim is beyond me. 

Have you ever noticed that lots of people love to build up their cabinets (as I did in the last project) but then they just leave it there? What about the bottom of the cabinets? If you look at custom cabinets, they almost always have trim at the bottom of the cabinet.

Your kitchen cabinets are the first thing most people see when they enter the room. Luckily, if you feel your builder basic cabinets look, well... basic, there are quick and easy ways to give your cabinets a custom look - without the custom price. In this four piece series, I will show you how I was able to give my basic kitchen cabinets a custom look - for less than $50/project.
