Silly - Shoe Mold Question
Comments (5)I don't know what's considered "correct" in the decision of staining or painting shoe moulding. Maybe, it's just personal taste. In our case, we decided to not add shoe moulding at all. The gaps between the floor and the baseboard trim was minimal, so dh just put a little white caulking in there. We went with a 6-1/2" high baseboard trim. Along with being a tall trim, it also has a large enough thickness at the base to hide the expansion gap between the floor and the wall. -Laurie P.S. The picture below was taken prior to any caulking where floor meets baseboard....See MoreMoulding / Trim Sizing Recommendations?
Comments (37)So here's a follow up question. Per the recommendations and after seeing a visual, we have changed everything to.. * 8' Doors + 4.25" Casing / Trim (Interior and Exterior) * 6' Windows Throughout @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim ...with the following window exceptions.... * Window over freestanding tub. Don't want the window to fall behind tub (Height 25") , so thinking 5' Window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim * (2) Windows on each side of the king size bed. Don't want them to fall behind the nightstands, so thinking 5' window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim * Guest Bath smaller window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim....not sure what size?? ...Does this make sense? Thoughts? Thanks everyone!...See MoreUse shoe molding or not in kitchen and family room.
Comments (18)We had new tile put into the kitchen, and wood floors all throughout the downstairs. I specifically had the contract written that I wanted no transition strips, and no quarter round/shoe molding, and I wanted their installers to be very capable of executing that. I have a wood cabinet kitchen island very similar to your picture. They tiled right up to it, much like your picture. Now that I have seen how much cleaner the kitchen and the baseboards look, I could probably never go back to looking at that shoe molding....See MoreStairwell Moulding Dilemma
Comments (9)ok, a skirting...thought Sophie mean a base moulding. Does the skirting go on before or after the engineered stairs are installed - looks like before, in that pic. And can they be purchased generic OR have to be custom cut exact? I am new at stairs....have done lots of other renos/cosmetic stuff in many homes...but never stairs!...See MoreAnn
