Foyer Staircase with curved treads and railings

Looking down the curved oak railings. This features 6010 oak rails, 5015 painted balusters and is a "post-to-post" design style bannister

---

Fireplace mantel with a matching surround feature. This fireplace surround utilizes standard mouldings to mimic the mantel construction.

  Another view of the fireplace moldings. The surround iplasters extend to the ceiling and are wrapped in the crown molding that trims out the entire living room.

  This wainscoting for this powder room is 36" high, features a real tongue and groove pine beadboard capped with a two piece chair rail.

Here you see a close up of the three piece crown moulding. This is made up from two pieces of a 4" baseboard used as backer with a piece of 4 5/8" crown moulding.

Small Moulding Project

Just a note to feature a small project we completed around a year ago or so.

The project was to build a header - bulkhead - soffit and a couple of 1/2 columns, in order to separate the dining room from the living room. 

We also installed crown mouldings in the dining room and living room and  chair railing in the dining room.

AFTER PICTURE

This is just one option to be used when you want to divide up the rooms without actually doing so. This allows you to change up the paint colors or wall treatments for each room. You could also add in some full columns at the outside angled corner created by the soffit, or some short 1/2 walls with 1/2 columns if desired.

These pilasters were made with an applied panel moulding to give them a recessed panel look, along with a nice two piece chair railing. They could also be fluted above the chair rail with the panel below. I would like to have seen a nice shadow box panel moulding in the dining room on this particular project.

Wainscoting, Built-Ins and Mouldings!

On this post we feature several pictures of a home improvement renovation we just finished up in Burke,Va. There were a few different phases of the project:

• Built-In Bookcases with mantel feature
• Raised Panel Wainscoting
• New Oak Stair Railings
• Interior door replacements with new 6 panel doors
• Cased Openings
• Ceiling Mouldings in Dining room
• New Interior door lever locksets
• Crown Mouldings

---

THE BUILT-INS:

---

First let me post a terrible before picture... one of these days I will learn to hold the camera still.

Here is a picture right after the installation of the cabinetry... before the painting and finishing.

The construction is a 3/4" cabinet grade birch plywood casework with 3/4" poplar wood facings with a cabinet beading detail, inset square raised panel doors with concealed euro style hinges, fully adjustable 3/4" birch plywood shelving with a 1 1/2" beaded front edgings, straight valance with a one piece crown through out the room, plain stiles, and a recessed toe kick. On this particular unit we had to modify two HVAC vents into the toe kick, and the electrician had routed all the wiring for the TV and components before the install.
 

Here are a few more close up pictures of some of the details: hover the mouse over the picture for detailed descriptions / information

Custom Home - Interior Trim Finish Carpentry

This page features some highlights of a new home we just completed the interior finish carpentry in last month.

The balustrade utilized oak boxed newels with square balusters. I liked the way that the newels complimented the door and window casings.

This house also featured a sanitary style casing with plinth blocks and entablatures on all the doors and openings.

Decorate With Mouldings!

Why do builders load up their model homes with mouldings? Walk into any upscale model home and you will see mouldings that include elaborate crown moulding build-ups, coffered ceilings, richly paneled libraries and offices, built-ins and bookcases, chair rails, wainscoting, archways, columns, detailed railwork and balustrades. Why? Because builders know that adding mouldings does more for the character, warmth, and atmosphere of your home than anything else you can do. Builders know that decorating with mouldings, sells homes!

Mouldings are one of the few things that you can add to your home that  can deliver immediate rewards, while increasing it’s value, all with minimal disruption to your household. Installing mouldings can offer more bang for the buck than any other home improvement project.

Decorating your rooms with  mouldings allows you to display your creativity to everyone that comes into your home. Mouldings offer you the opportunity to create and design the home you have always dreamed about.

If you live in the Northern Virginia area, and were contemplating installing some trimwork in your home please call or email us today to set up your free, no obligation, no pressure consultation today.
