? about staining shoe molding (trim)for newhomebuilder or others.
Comments (13)Hi, have to ask advice in this same line. Built last summer, have clear pine baseboard and trim I've been finishing (some natural, some with a touch of Minwax Honey Maple gel where window jambs were turning dark with conditioner, sill was light so touched with honey to blend in). LOVE it with my Navajo White and also with Thornton Sage and Antique Jade walls. Really goes with everything. Here's the problem - installing Brazilian Cherry in dining room next week, open to foyer (dark green tile) and stairs (oak tread with linseed oil/beeswax, unfinished pine risers). What do I do with trim and baseboards (1 long wall from dining to front door) to make it look good with cherry floors (will darken with age) and oak stairs/furniture? I haven't even thought about shoe moulding - but my uncle has lots of nice oak left over from his house. Too much with pine base and cherry floor? Here are some pics. Thanks!

Comments (4)I don't understand what a triple drawer with stiles is which is why I didn't reply. Do you mean a 3 drawer stack with 5 piece drawer fronts? A stile is a vertical piece of a frame. The horizontal pieces on the top and bottom of the frames are rails. We placed the pulls on the top rail so as not to have to bend. I also like the looks of it. How big are your top drawers. I've seen a problem when a pull is mounted in panel of a smaller height drawer. If the panel is small, the rails may crowd the space around it making it awkward or even uncomfortable to use. This also depends on how tall the pull is compared to the thickness of the rail above the panel. We put two pulls on our 36" pot drawers, but we often operate them with one hand. With good modern drawer slides such as the Blum ones, it doesn't matter if you use one pull that is off center. We have one pull (about 5-6" I think but I'm on a trip) on our 30" drawer and it looks fine. I think it would have looked okay on our 36" drawers, too....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 MoreWindow protrudes past exterior trim, what to do?
Comments (34)1) There is nothing at all "wrong" with the OP's installation, nor with the others shown. The window frame itself doesn't not protrude past the exterior wall cladding, that is only the screen frame that does. For sealing and drainage purposes, no issue at all. The only concern is aesthetic which is subjective 2) Two options to address if an aesthetic concern exists were mentioned: pull the window in toward the interior by either removing the nail fins or modifying the framing, or build out the exterior trim. 3) The irony behind some of the "builder grade" comments are that a window that has a "bug eyed" screen track is designed with a 3 1/4" main frame so that it can be used primarily as a "replacement". At minimum, almost all vinyl windows have the screen pushed outward so as not to take up that valuable real estate, and some windows will actually push the outer sash beyond the 3 1/4" frame into the screen track to gain the sash thickness needed for higher end triple pane glass units, in addition to superior strength and insulation. 4) Due to the design of the vast majority of vinyl windows as it pertains to sealing against air leakage, the outer half of the jamb is generally stepped in so that the inner sash can seal against it. The outer sash therefore needs to be reduced in width of the overall unit, meaning that either the sightlines are unequal (if the sash stiles are the same size), OR the stiles are reduced in width to create equal sightlines of glass. Neither is necessarily right or wrong, however the former will prioritize function/performance whereas the latter is really just for looks....See Moremillworkman
