I was so excited about the "DIY - Between the Studs Storage" until it was finished and I didn't love the end product... there was something missing in the trimwork. I couldn't decide on wood trim, wood accents, white trim or painted trim to match the room...
While perusing through the trim isle at Lowe's for inspiration, I came across stair treads. I decided to give them a try. The wood boards from the above photo came off and the stair treads were stained and put on as seen in the photos below.

It coordinates well with the sink base cabinet below without becoming an overpowering brown hole in the wall. I like it now... I still don't LOVE it...
The stair treads were purchased at Lowe's for about $6/piece:
I finished them the same I way I finished our Chunky Floating Shelves:
I stained them with Red Mahogany Rust-Oleum stain in satin first. And then I put a layer of PolyShades over them to darken them a bit more and tone down the wood grain a bit while also polyurethaning them.
