Pediment be gone; Molding update

Read the sequence from the top before cutting, painting, or moving pieces.

I love moldings, I think they make the house, and while obviously in the picture below they were trying to be grand and impressive, it is maybe… uhem, just a little over the top, So, here is how Heather of Our Life in a Click fixed the pediment without any impediments… (sorry I had to!) Such a striking molding update!

Recently I posted this asking what you would have done with that.      Well, here’s what we did. Added a more direct header and changed out the side moldings too.      

We also added a coordinating molding over the front door to tie it all together. 

What do you think? Did we do the right thing? I think it’s definitely more our style.     Yes! You did the right thing, with this molding update  although I hoped you saved those other moldings to reuse on something… But, maybe I am too much of a building materials pack-rat!
