A Week Off To Work

I took this week off from work to get some things done around the house. First on the list was finishing the quarter round molding. My uncle and I had already put it down in the master bedroom and dining room before we moved in.
I bought 120 feet of quarter round and painted it before my uncle and cousin came over Sunday. The hard part is getting the angles right so two pieces will meet even and flush on corners. The area under the bay window was especially difficult:



It took us about 5 hours but we got the foyer, living room, hallway and office finished. Here is a before picture:



And a couple of afters:

Very impressive! I kind of want to do a chair rail in our dining room, but I'm a little intimidated. Everything seems very complicated.
