Part of our dining room re-do includes replacing the moulding around the doorways. I think a lot of people are afraid to attempt moulding on their own. It's not actually as difficult as it might seem. When we renovated our kitchen I installed the door moulding and baseboards. With some attention to detail and patience, it can make a huge difference in your home.
Just to show you the great impact of moulding and millwork, here is a great before-and-after of a DIY-er's dining room.

I'll be documenting our moulding replacement process. We've already run into a few unexpected challenges so I look forward to sharing some "problem-solving" tips after the weekend.
Have you ever tackled a moulding or millwork project? How did it go?
Love the example you showed here. I'll look forward to seeing how it goes in your dining room. Moulding really does add so much to a room and if you can do it yourself it's affordable.
