Trim moulding help
Hi, I'm refinishing my banister diy and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how best to cover this area that looked unfinished even before I started sanding and patching because the drywall is compressed. I do not know that much about moulding outside the basics and I can't seem to find pictures of this situation. Thank you all suggestions are welcomed!

Comments (26)I have a few more options. What do you think? Palimpsest, I did the one panel like you suggested and fixed the heights. I also like the idea of doing sort of a raised panel look, either in the color of the trim (with everything the same color) or else in the color of my book cases so it could mimic the book cases on the other wall (they will be stained blue) Any of these options look good? If I went with option 4 or 5, I'd probably have the paneling look more like this than exactly like above: Either painted trim color or painted in the blue....See MoreIs this called stair trim moulding, casing or shoe moulding?
Comments (8)This trim is called a 'mitred return' in terms of stair building. These are made by the same person who makes the treads either on site in pieces then installed or milled up as one piece treads. You can make them by routing the profile then cut to size on mitre/table saw....See MoreShould ceiling white match my crown moulding and trim white?? HELP!
Comments (1)Yes, the easiest way is to use the same paint color on the ceiling as the trim. However, the sheen for the ceiling should be flat while trim is better in a semi-gloss...See Morestucco mould vs door trim on exterior entry
Comments (1)Jamie, you can make a nice surround using composite material and trim which is very easy to do nowadays and you have a large profile selection available, or you can use stucco mold just make sure they use finish for "traffic area" being this a doorway which is more durable... The con with stucco is if it gets damaged it's much harder to repair and match the color in comparison to replacing a piece of trim. Good luck with your new home!...See More

for the spindles, I'd prob get new ones w/a new base. they're just too beat up to refinish. if you do refinish, bring in some bondo for the large divots and dings.
You could always do that entire wall in a type of wainscot or vertical lap molding so that it's even. or just have the base under the spindles wider at the bottom. doesn't have to be flush.
or, run a wide pice of trim molding like shown here
