First off, pretty trim! I measured all the pieces I would need to cut for and to fit up on the wall. It was a little discouraging when I made a wrong cut, but fortunately for me this trim was not terribly expensive, and I will probably use it again! I used a miter saw to make all the cuts then sanded all the pieces and lastly used a trim snipper to get all the pieces fitting perfectly, or close to perfect, I am not a professional whatsoever. Was glueing, I used E6000 for this and it was great, for pieces that were warped I used a nail gun to pin down the pieces. I also added a piece of wood to the shelf to add more depth, so if I want, I could put a tiny vase or other little pieces of decor there, or every layer another painting. Oh, and we also finished the trim around the doors!

After letting the caulk dry, it was time to pick a paint! I had a few on hand to try out, navy, a sweet light blue that's in my daughter's room, and white trim paint. But these were not quite right, the navy was too matchy matchy with my kitchen, the light blue was too childlike and white is kind of boring, it was already white to begin with. So, after looking all over Pinterest, I found a beautiful Sherwin Williams blue called Upward. It's a really pretty muted blue gray, and I will probably use it again. I used two sample pots to cover the entire wall, in total I only spent about $10 in paint! The sample only came in satin, but I also wanted this in a satin finish, so it worked out!
