You can use whatever looks good to you. :-) That said, I am not fond of shoe moulding or any other moulding with my baseboards, although, I do have shoe moulding in this house because it is necessary. You do get used to it, after a while. It does get nicked frequently from kids toys, and from vacuum cleaners. Sometimes, we just have to live with things that are necessary.

You can sure use cove mould at the intersection.

Stylewise, I would be looking for something else more angular and more in keeping with Craftsman design.

Roman Ogee Floor Moulding also called Ogee Base Shoe.

That is certainly not simple IMO . I think a simple shoe mold is the right choice .

Here are 2 pictures I found that show shoe vs cove. Any suggestions or opinions?

Good point @cat_ky and now that I am looking at them the shoe blends in more so than the cove, which is what I really want. I hate having to use either but it has to be done on my floors.

@kootenaycapable do you have an image or a name of something? Like I said I only knew about quarter round, shoe and cove. I'm open to something else.

Do it properly. Install originates to the low point and is scribed to the high point. No extra molding if any kind.

Fibq--just flat stock of appropriate width to cover the ends on the floorboards. Ease the outer top edge with some sandpaper. Say, 1/2" thick x 1" wide, assuming 1/2" is enough to cover the gaps where the floorboards stop short. You want it to be pliable enough to be able to muscle it down to cover any gaps between the floor and the bottom of the base.

@ci_lantro that sounds beautiful. I am trying to find an image of it. That may be a little more towards what I was hoping for. Thank you

Sophie, the prob is that the base moulding isn't thick enough to cover where the hardwood stops short at the wall. Installers left the expansion gap on the too wide side.

shoe.

Cove is too delicate if it gets hit.

There is stuff called stop moulding that might work for you (used for the stops that hold double-hung window shashes in place). It's thin and rectangular with one rounded edge. Looks great with craftsman style. It's available is sizes about 1/2" thick and 1' to 1.5' wide.
