baseboard suggestions for mid century modern ranch
Comments (2)Here are some profiles (link at bottom), which you may consider. I went with a BA425A style, the style you're not sold on. BA=Base moulding, the 425= 4-1/4" in height. I thought about different style, and height, but considering I live in a 70's era bi-level, and the ceilings are only 7'6", I didn't want the ceilings to look lower than they are. I bought through the mill shop as linked, obviously you would want to purchase at a mill shop near you. The base & casings are MDF, which are primed & 16' long. If I were you, I wouldn't let anyone buy a bunch of 8' lengths, if it's not necessary. A couple of shots of the baseboard. Shoe moulding added to base in the kitchen.

Comments (13)Read the Housetweaking blog from early 2011 through 2016/2017 or so. Dana and her husband bought an old, ugly midcentury and DIYed it into a really cool space - keeping the midcentury vibe but not being 100 percent married to it and doing it on a budget. They've moved on to a different house but all the old posts are still on the site. https://www.housetweaking.com/current-house/...See MoreHelp!

Comments (2)Suzy - I know what you are up against. I am petite and in looking for desks last year there were a lot of desks that were too tall. My recommendation is to research Room and Board. If I recall, you can have a Parson’s desk (classic mid-century style) custom made to your dimensions. It however is not adjustable. Just one option to investigate. Good luck....See MoreCan I combine mid century modern with japandi?
