CHURCH PEW DILEMMA

last modified: 6 months ago

Hi guys:) I got my hands on a church pew from the church I went to as a child and was married in. The ideal location I would like to put it is in this bay window near my kitchen table. Pros...it is a perfect spot to sit and watch my kiddos in the backyard and watch the sunset. Cons...I feel like it might be too long for that area and possibly an oak overload with my oak hardwood floors and oak table. Looking forward to your opinions...

    Kjoy Holy Cow it is absolutely gorgeous!! and you are not even close to being finished….just think how amazing it will be!..not worried about the rod..I kinda like to mix the finishes a bit so the gold in the room is not one note…more vintage collected look…but of course up to you…you may end up wanting to tone down the mirror gold once all is togehter..but you will know🤗🥰

    I thought it may be when you were sampling, but it really looks pretty and will change as day light goes by. Kind of double edged sword, the ceiling and trim being a white ish may make it look bluer but if you do the ceiling and trim the same then you have more blue. But really it’s gorgeous either way you toss it! Moulding looks professional! Bed is perfect!

    Holy Cow is right HIWE 🤗 DH and I can’t believe we are pulling this molding thing off. Looks like pictures I save on Pinterest. Makes my bedroom feel so unique and special…the paint color is icing on the cake. Thank you HIWE and Flo and my houzz peeps for guiding me and encouraging me along the way. I have a long ways to go but I will get there.

    Hi Kjoy, how is your room coming along?

    Hi Molly and everyone 🙋‍♀️ Sorry wasn’t getting notifications until Molly posted. Flo I hope your move is going smooth. Thank you liasch 😘 Hi Mary haha far from Chip and Joanna especially with all the swearing we are doing R rated 😉 Thank you DD you can relate to my what seems like never ending painting 😫 Cubby molding would look great in your bedroom keep pushing. Thank you HU-18 🥰 Slowly but surely we are moving along custom claws. Molly for the second half of the room I switched it up and painted first. The first half took SO long to paint because of all the trim work. So I finished painting 2 coats on the second half of the room and now it is ready for trim work. I plan on painting all the trim pieces before DH puts them up and then just do touch ups after filling holes and caulking 🤷‍♀️ We shall see if it is easier 🤞

    Kjoy, many years ago, we painted trim to add to our walls. Cut first, then painted. It didn't fit!!! I guess the wood expanded?? I have no recall of the type of wood or paint. You may want to test yours?

    Hi kjoy! Thanks for the good moving vibes! Went well. A few hick ups but we are really making progress. Our daughter flew in last night and she is amazing. We have all but maybe 10 boxes unpacked and stowed in organized fashion in the garage. A lot of work but I am so happy. This had to happen for the rest of my plan to evolve. She will leave on Monday so hoping to get all boxes unpacked by then. Yay!

    Your bedroom looks gorgeous. I can’t believe you “cut in” around all that molding. I think your new plan will be much easier!! Gotta run, garage workers are calling!

    Hi. I am putting up my curtains… should I mount them so I overlaps the molding on the wall or so it hangs along the molding with out overlapping?

    Nevermind. The studs are dictating where it is going to be mounted. I will just have to make it work…
