Last week when I shared my Ikea farmhouse sink tutorial, I mentioned that I was working on cornice boards for my kitchen windows as part of our DIY kitchen remodel. There are so many fabulous cornice board tutorials out there! Rhoda at Southern Hospitality has one of the best using foam core board.

For instance these beauties: No you are not seeing things. that is $58.07 for one foot! I placed it to the cart for the fun of it..and it added another $12 in shipping! Good Lord! That's an expensive foot! Now I do understand they are maple, and fluted and pretty but seriously? These feet aren't even ... continue reading...
