Royal Bread (John’s Christmas Gift): a house log

That is what John thought this gift represented when he unwrapped it on Christmas morning.

But by around his third guess he’d cracked the code: crown molding. And his gift at last came to fruition this week when our crafty installer returned to hang striking 3 inch molding in our living/dining room and three bedrooms. The wrapped up product is polished and purty. And best of all, John did not have to lift a finger. He works hard sufficient around here as it is, so I was glad to let him sit this one out.

Here are some detail shots:

And here is the whole living / dining room in all of its crowning glory:

It looks simply as dapper in the bedrooms, so stay tuned for some more pics. In the meantime you can find John not complaining about a sore back or a nail gun injury. Life is good.
