Door Casing

Cost:
        (haven't added it up yet)
        
Supplies:
         Fluted Case Molding   
         Header Molding
         Crown Molding     
         
Tools:
         Paint
         Saw
         Nails
         Dapp & wood fill
        
Action plan:
         Remove old casing and install new casing

Still To Do:
         All the other doors in the house
        
Inspiration:
         We had wide fluted case moldings on the doors in the house I grew up in I have never liked the skinny
         moldings on any of the doors in this house so I'm replacing it all to reflect the house I grew up in.  The
         crown molding I put on the door casing is the same crown molding I used on my kitchen cabinets.  I
         thought this would work well since this doorway is in the kitchen leading to the office!

Process:
        Pretty self explanatory I don't think the process needs to be listed here. 

        Check back for more photos of this project on the other doors!  Update:  I changed out the headers on the cellar, pantry and bathroom doors (in the kitchen) I also changed out the hardware from brass to aged bronze.  See below for photos.
