Even if you don’t know the name of that plant, go to the nursery when you notice that it’s in bloom in your neighborhood and find it that way!

I’ve seen both and when I Googled it, both seemed pretty acceptable, so I just went with what felt right.If you know for sure either way, by all means let me know!

And if I’ve offended you with my ignorance, please forgive me.So I might not know how to spell “moldings” (or mouldings), but I do know how to create some really great high-end looks for a not so high end price.Today I’m going to share with you a little about how we got that thick, chunky, super trimmed-out look that I love in Jack’s nursery..

Step one: Marry a really talented guy..Step two: Get him to do it.. Ha!

OK, that really is what happened, but there’s a little more to it than that.. With a little bit of basic know-how and a decent saw, you can create all kinds of great looks with really basic materials from your local big box store.

For example, the built-in book cases, which are made mostly from MDF, are trimmed out with basic 1/2″ strips of pine all around the front of the shelves for a more solid and up-to-date look.I don’t even remember readjusting the lamp shade as I was taking these pictures, but it seems like it’s moving in every one!

Just another little touch of imperfection around here!Migrating geese, roosters, weather-vanes in general, they just all give off a fallish vibe so they got to stay right where they were!

What could be faster or easier than that?In the dining room, I just used some more baby pumpkins and some fake fall botanicals out of my bins in the basement, and suddenly the whole room was seasonally-appropriate!.
