Budget Tip of the Day: Molding Frame
Molding is a great way to give a plain, flat space some architectural interest. It can stand on it’s own as the “artwork” for any wall or it can act as a frame for something inside.
What I’m loving right now is this dual frame–one molding frame inside another. I love the idea of painting each piece out a different color. Leave it as is or place a framed picture on display inside.
Here is an idea to bring some pattern into a space. If you don’t have the budget (or guts) for a full wallpapered wall, apply just a piece and then frame it out with molding on top.

I LOVE this next frame within a frame idea with a stenciled background. So fantastic and so affordable!
It’s really easy to install molding, so don’t be afraid. You’ll need to cut all your pieces on a 45 degree angle. They will come together in the corners like a picture frame. If you don’t have a saw, take your measurements with you to the store and they will cut it for you. Use a level to piece them together and attach to the wall with a nail gun.
