Adding some details

As a painter, it is said that "the devil is in the details". Probably would be better stated to say that the details can add much to a project. The details are, in  many cases, the first thing people notice when entering a room or looking at a painting.

Decided to make and add a palm tree detail in the form of a corbel or roof bracket at the end of the hall that brings you into the kitchen dining area. It turned out to add a nice and inviting beach cottage touch.

When we bought this cottage, the only bedroom, now the guest room, had vertical batten strips from floor to ceiling to hide the joints in the wall material (upson board).  When we removed the old wall material for new drywal and wiring and insulation, we saved the wood batten strips to reinstall to preserve the original look and character.
