Thank you everyone! Crl this article is great. I like the ones in the pic below with the bench.
Robin, thanks for the input, but an intricate baseboard in a minimalist house would look out of character. I see baseboards as utilitarian...they hide the ugly junction between the floor and drywall and protect the drywall when vacuuming. Kind of like popcorn ceilings in the 70’s. I like how they are artistically built up though in some of the more traditional or Victorian style homes, but that’s not for a modern house.
Pal, by inset, do you mean they inset them into the drywall? I already have drywall up in most of the house. I like the Alubase, but I’m thinking it needs to go in before the drywall?
Virgil, do you mean laminate instead of solid wood? Why laminate? Does it hold up better?
I currently have door frame moldings that are 2.5” x 3/4”. Most of the doors in the house will be moved, and the remaining few will be made into Kerf jambs. Should I stick with 2.5 x 3/4” or go to 2.5 x .5”?
What do you think of these styles? They look like they are 2.5” x .5”?
