DIY // How to Install Panel Moulding
DIY // How to Install Panel Moulding

Back when we were getting the Ravenna House ready to sell, we added panel moulding (which looks like picture frames on the wall) to the master bedroom. It was a relatively easy project and went a long way in making this small bedroom feel more ‘master-ey’. Scroll on to read all about this project (psst: room sources are also at the bottom of this post).

KEEP UP TO DATE @THEGRITANDPOLISH

Decisions, decisions… 

We couldn’t decide on a backsplash for the Hill House hall bathroom, so I mocked up a few options:

1 No backsplash 
2 Simple marble 
3 Shaped marble
3b Shaped marble - long
4 Delft tiles 

Which would you pick?
Our little upstairs snug is starting to feel like a real room! Hard to believe this space was once part of a bedroom. Soft, simple, cozy, and tucked right under the eaves, I already know it’ll be one of the most used spots in the Hill House 😊
Spring at the Poplar Cottage! ☀️🌷🌱

I planted 150 bulbs last Fall (tulips, daffodils, and alliums) and they’ve been an utter delight this Spring! My favorite are the white ‘Popcorn tulips’ 🤍

Can’t wait to watch this garden
