Faking a crown molding with paint?
Permalink Closed

I think I remember seeing this somewhere before but can't seem to find anything online - my brother and i are moving in together with his best friend in about a month, and they convinced me to live in this SUPER ghetto apartment for a year in order to have very cheap rent.  i consoled myself by saying that i could do amazing things with paint - i'd like my room to look like it's part of a real house instead of a crack house ...


i really like the elegant look of crown molding


also ... any hints on where i could find some cheap but cute chandeliers?

I am not sure about the crown molding, but look at Lowes for chandeliers. I don't know what "cheap" is to you, but they had some cutes ones that start @ about $50.00 and went up.

crown molding is really cheap to buy at home depot and pretty easy to put up yourself.  you just buy the wooden molding and spray (or brush) paint it, then nail it up with small nails.  the only tricky part is getting someone to cut the mitered corners for you with a saw (maybe they would do it at home depot if you measured it for them? i've never asked), but i think overall it would be much easier and just as cheap to do the real thing than to fake it with paint.
