When we left off in Part Four we had finished installing all the new crown mold. Hubby beefed up the chunky-ness factor using the crown that we removed in the beginning and by adding a couple more elements. The first piece is basic base mold turned upside down. Next he attached the old crown (also using some chunks of wood behind and out of sight for stability), then he cut a 1" by lengthwise and attached that to the top of the crown - coming out over the edge slightly. Once this was caulked and primed it looks like one big crown mold!
Then the day came for the granite installation - I was blown away by the beauty...
It's called River White. I was trying to find something as close to carrara marble as I could find. Hubby talked to his supplier and she knew exactly what to show us.. This is beautiful and has specs of ruby in it as well. I'm so in love with it!
Then I started priming the upper cabinets. I took off all the doors and we filled nail holes, caulked and primed. See how all the crown/trim looks like one piece now? Love it.
We also found these kick-ass corbels online for a great price. (sorry about blurry pic - I cannot hold my phone in my left hand and take a decent picture)
