Adding window molding and changing the fireplace

This was the before fireplace and window area.

We added window wainscoting

 and painted the fireplace.

First Lewis traced the bottom of the 

fireplace onto a box so he could cut a

piece of plywood to go on top of the brick.

Then added plywood pieces on each 

side of the front of the bricks.

Ripped out baseboards and trim under window.

Started adding trim to the top 

and bottom part of the wood

Pre Painting the trim

Then trim was added up to the 

ceiling and down to the floor 

Then used picture trim on the inside

 of the trim to make a box wainscot look

Painted and the trim and bricks white

Added small crown molding on the top

 of the window trim to match the fireplace

All finished total wood cost was $120 

plus $20 in paint and $20 in liquid nails.
