About Me:
My main hobby is quilting but I also love trying to decorate my newly built house on a budget and still have it look classy. We built this home ourselves and now I am a little overwhelmed with all of this blank space. We went from living in a 980sq ft home to a 3200sq ft home. This just really overwhelms me when trying to decorate. I guess it is just one room at a time...

Crossette turns into a Rosette with Carved Acanthus Center
Every once in a while you run into an architectural detail that, even as an experienced carpenter, you have never seen before. Some doors and windows have Rosettes at the corners and some have Crossettes (small projections of the head casing beyond the casing legs), but this is a Crossette than turns in on itself in a "square spiral" that resembles a rosette. It also has carved acanthus leaves at the center. I would love to recreate this sometime.
