Update

It's now August, 2007 and I have finally decided to post again because I finally got the crown molding up. I only had to buy about 15 pieces, but at least I know how to do it now. I also hung the curtain rod, which was an even in itself because of the too-tall shutters and the crown on the sides. All that's left now is to fill the nail holes, paint the trim, and hang the curtains. No doubt when that occurs--which could be any day now or in a year--the entire world will hear my screams of delight and my daughter's screams of disbelief.
