Quiltgirl - I don't think that would be comfortable, unless you typically stand far back from the cooktop. wi-sailorgirl, here are a few I bookmarked from Houzz: [Traditional Kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by Boston Kitchen And Bath Divine Kitchens LLC [Traditional Living Room design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-living-room-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_718~s_2107) by Toronto Kitchen And Bath Fixtures Enns Cabinetry Inc.

millworkman, I still don't know if they're split or not. The test of how easy it is to budge the door stop, I'm not going to do, because I don't want to replace anything else about the doors, or even repaint them. The split-jamb casings are supposedly attached with lots of staples at the factory, and these certainly do have the staples. I did cut through the paint at the casing/sheetrock line, as well as the casing/jamb, but that didn't always help...because when the chisel applied force to pry the pieces apart, it didn't always apply force where I scored the paint. In those cases, the alkyd paint pulled off some of the wall paint in the surrounding area, even though I had scored it where I thought the joint was (under all that paint). I do know that no DIYers or renters were ever here...this workmanship was done by the builder. The builder is long out of business, built a bunch of homes and condos for our community in SoCal. A friend did put a bunch of coats of this alkyd paint on the doors and casings about 10 years later. weedyacres, I did consider cutting out the bottom and putting in a plinth. I also considered building up the width and depth by adding another piece on the outside of all the casing. But, I just think that a larger, flat, plain casing is the look I'm going for. So I'm gonna rip 'em all out, as I redo the flooring in each room. EngineerChic, I have a cheapie Harbor Freight multi-tool I haven't used yet, but I've been watching videos on what the different blades will do, and I think it will come in handy for my remodel. I've never done more than tap in a picture nail before this. That is really thick stock your contractor is suggesting! I was thinking 1/2" or so for base, 5/8" for casing so it's a little deeper than the base. I need some samples to see if this looks good. It seems to be hard to find this plain style of molding around here. I found a 5.5" high base that's only slightly rounded on the edge (do NOT want bullnose), but I haven't found any casing that's about 4" wide and a little more than 1/2" thick...

I vote for # 2 & # 3. Natureperson, I found a trim near by that is nice that I have a sample of and it is similar to your trim but the one I have here is 5.25" high. Since seeing your picture, I am thinking of going with this baseboard molding. I love so many of the pictures but I need to find baseboard molding that is finger joint primed pine and not the Poplar I prefer due to finances. I like the 4.25" to 4.5" best for my room but it is more expensive so I am thinking I am not used to seeing trim higher than the 3" I have on my wall now so I may end up loving the 5.25" trim. All the rooms are gorgeous and I am beginning to think I will be happy with any new trim on my new wall.

If you give mouse an iphone, she goes looking for a case. When that case cracks, she needs to get a new one. When she goes to buy a new one, she can't find anything she really likes. So she buys a cheapo one. Now she is feeling flush, so she remembers that one of the cases she saw was Louis Vuitton. She remembers that her existing LV wallet is 17 years old and looking a little worn. She goes to LV and buys a new wallet, and then hightails it out of the store before she gets her paws on anything else. PS the flagship NYC LV store, just saying, looks like Beijing. The customers and the staff. One token blonde salesperson. There was a language barrier with my salesperson; she spoke Chinese and her English was pretty hard to understand and limited (eg she didn't know the names of colors well). I think this brand is out, OUT, out, for everybody in my time zone! I wonder what I will buy after this one wears out in 17 years!
