7. Add drama by painting your moldings a high-gloss black.

6. DIY Built-ins- Add molding to Ikea Billy bookcases to create gorgeous and inexpensive built-ins. Visit Centsational Girl for the tutorial.

5. Shelving- style your space with ledge shelving, this is a great way to display framed art...love this idea!

4. Frame a Mirror- Create a focal point by framing a mirror with large, chunky molding and paint it black. *a great idea for instantly updating bathrooms.

3. Add Architectural Detail to Hollow Core Doors- Check out Little Green Notebook for an easy tutorial.

2. Update your Bathroom- Rachel and her husband from Just a Touch of Gray used beadboard to cover the old 1950's tile in their master bathroom. This idea is genius for updating an old bathroom on a budget, and without a lot of demolition. Click here for more on this project.

1. Create a focal wall- frame a pattern on your wall using molding to add architectural detail and create a focal wall.

Happy Monday!

  6. I've been on the fence about adding molding to the 4 hollow core doors in my apartment (I rent, so that's a big deal) and this post has sealed the deal! I'm doing it! Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration.
