Installing Crown Molding in the Dining Room

When we first moved in, one of the first things we said needed to go was the "crown" that was in the dining room. Here's a picture from the day of inspection:


 
We painted the first week we bought the house, but we just got around to ripping out that "crown" and installing the new crown. It was my Valentines gift from the hubs. Nothing more romantic to me that my guy doing DIY projects around the house!
We decided to get the higher end crown since this was a formal dining room. Since there is nothing formal about us, we did it for the next owners because ya know, that's what you do. This room is actually our homeschool room because it's within perfect view of the kitchen so kiddos can be doing their work while I'm doing mine and my eye is on them the entire time.
 
So here are the pictures from this weekend project!
 
This is before we ripped down the previous "crown"

And there's the red before we painted the room. You can see we added the corner's and that's the new crown that you see.

 
And here it is completely installed!

This room is really coming together. I got some new furniture pieces and pictures to put up. Will try to update the room once I get it together.
