POPCORN PARTY
Beaded board on the
ceiling complements
the traditional style of
the paneling. It goes on
in 7-foot planks, right
over the offending
popcorn texture.

CABINET POSITION
Replacing a pair of
rickety bookcases with
glass-front cabinets
gives the dining room
structure and storage
capacity. The cabinets
are semi-custom,
meaning you can
choose the door style,
finish, size, and extra
trim for the top and
bottom to give them a
built-in look.

HOSTESS STATION
Pairing 12-inch-deep
upper cabinets with
deeper lower cabinets
allowed the units to
tuck neatly under the
existing soffit while still
offering plenty of
storage. It also left
space for a small
countertop—handy
for setting dishes or
food to serve.
