Here is where we started:
Step #1: Install the top rail! (the right side will eventually meet up with my fireplace mantle and surround)
Step #2: Install boxes made from 1" trim (we did this step twice when we realized our floor was not level and we had measured off the floor... ALWAYS use a level, it will save you in the long run)
Step #3: Prime all of the area that you are going to paint!!
And here is the final product! (sorry about the lighting... it was still dark out this morning when I took the pics!)
I am linking this up to the following parties :
Sawdust&paperscraps Whatever Linky Party!!

I love it too!! I can't wait to do my living room and hall way. It looks great.
Krystal.... my husband wasn't a believer in this look until he finished it last night. It only took him like 6 hours (with waiting between paint coats) and now he wants to continue it down the hall and into the entryway. I would love to see pics of yours if you do it!
Looks great! I am getting ready to do the same in my dining room!
This looks amazing!! I can't wait to show my Hubby as an "inspiration" for our home!!
This looks wonderful! I love it! I am hoping my hubs does that for me one of these days...hope hope hope!
