Crown molding for Arts & Crafts 1920's bungalow
Comments (22)JDS, I hadn't even realized what you'd posted was a link (said sheepishly). It's very helpful. The rest of our trim is just like what is shown in the collection in the middle of the bottom of page 17. Yes, I understand completely what you're saying about the philosophy of the style. I'd actually been planning on more or less replicating the baseboards and/or door frames somehow with what I'm calling (perhaps I need another name) crown molding. I guess ceiling trim would be a better term. The ceiling trim for the catalog collection is actually more detailed than what I had in mind. I'd been planning on my general contractor doing the carpentry from scratch (he's matched our trim before when we redid our bathroom). I was most stumped on dimensions/proportions, but maybe we can just order. Thanks, again. This is indeed a good resource....See MoreNeed help with exterior paint colors for 1920s Florida home
Comments (4)Your house is beautiful. I just painted my new craftsman in SW FL with Sherwin Williams 7726 Lemon Verbena for the hardie siding on top, SW 7733 Bamboo Shoot for the stucco on the first floor and SW 7730 Forestwood for the trim. I just personally love greens for a craftsman house but felt that with the light in FL, the greens had to be a bit cleaner and brighter than what is normally chosen for the rest of the country. (The trim isn't finished being painted.)...See MoreExterior color scheme for 1920’s colonial...in need of help!

Comments (12)We in the north where this is a fairly common solution. Here is the description from a local stucco company's website: " This stucco refinishing is often called a “re-dash.” The stucco refinishing basically applies a new two-coat stucco finish over the existing stucco. Often, stucco repairs are necessary first, and when the stucco refinishing is completed, the home looks brand new. Foley Exteriors would never recommend painting stucco. Stucco is naturally porous, so paint prohibits the stucco from “breathing,” as it seals the pores that allow moisture to escape through the stucco. We have found that a refinishing the stucco might initially be slightly more expensive than a quality paint job, but the stucco finish requires little to no maintenance. Paint requires frequent maintenance, and might only last a few years. A new stucco finish should last for decades, making it a much better value than the alternatives."...See MoreKatherine Wilson
