I get all excited when I finally see your blog each day — I just soak it up — read them 2 or 3 times right off the bat!! Saying thank you, Kristi, just does not seem like enough — but thank you, thank you!!!
I enjoyed the tips on wood filler vs caulk. Makes sense. Optical illusion or wishful thinking? This was so helpful! I guess I need pictures! I love how seamless the cuts look. We have a whole house of baseboards to install. When caulking, would you just caulk where it meets against the wall or where it meets the tile floor too? We are also doing chair rail and wainscoting, I am really nervous about it.
Makes me want to try it now! My dad used to caulk just about everything!! Especially in a bathroom, laundry room or kitchen where there is water in use. I hear you about wood filler. My husband used it to fill in some low spots on a subfloor. A contractor who was here for another reason saw it and scoffed, saying my husband should have used some liquid floor leveling product. I told my husband about it and he said he used the wood filler because it can be nailed through.
We had no particular plan to nail the floor in that area but my husband is wary of using products that could cause unintended consequences. Love your tip on the wood filler! Perfect timing for me too.
I have been staring at my walls, with my new miter saw still in the box, wondering if I was in over my head. These tips really help. Thanks, Kristi. Like the way you finished the ends. I think ours need that. You are both creative and handy…. Keep it up. I can do a 45 on the molding, but never really got how to get the edge finished off like that. Thanks for that tip! No transit system into Longview, Tx, which is about 15 miles.
Anyway, they are trying their best. They could use a kitchen table and chairs from Overstock. With that cert, and a little money from my family, they could at least feel a little bit better. Btw, I love that Turkish rug. It is awesome and really, I like it in that room! Just so you know….. Not about the giveaway at all, really enjoy your blog. Yes really. I do ;-. Thanks for the tutorial. I thought you decided to upholster a headboard not stool, with that beautiful piece?
Well, I change my mind about 20 times per day. But again, that could change without notice. I love your blog! You inspire me and make me believe that I could also do this, once I have a garage and the appropriate tools and enough space to do it..
I wanna be you when I grow up. Love the blog. Thanks for your detailed tutorials! I love the way you are empowering all of us who want to learn. With all the details and photos, Kristi, I think your tutorial is great!
But you are so right—it looks a whole lot better than a butt joint. I do have a tip regarding ending molding at an edge. I cut a 45 in the reverse, with the long edge on the wall and the short edge in the room. That way the angle is less sharp and intrusive than one cut at a Does that make sense without a photo?
I really like how it turned out. Thanks for that, Jeanne! Do you have a picture? My email: [email protected]. Kristi, did Jeanne ever send the picture of her tip about capping the molding? I think I know what she means, but I would really like to see it.
Or, in the alternative, did you come up with another way to cap the molding when using two different paints or wainscoting? This is the future talking! I have learned alot over the years, he has taught me well. I am a little bit of a perfectionist when I work — so I really understand the caulking and wood filler issues.
My husband prefers the caulking quicker, easier I believe for him but they are always sunken in and never looks right to me. I always use drywall mud to fill my holes, unevenness, etc… I find it great to work with, with great results too! As an added not — in less than a week I was shocked to see how much you had accomplished with your living — looks fantastic!

Choice of Material Consider the different material options for your interior trim application. Here are the suggested optimal sizes for the crown moulding drop distance from the ceiling to the lower edge of the crown on various wall heights: 8-ft. We decided to replace the small baseboard shown with a taller version. Your trim-work should be sized to work well with the surrounding trim pieces and also stay in proportion to the height of the room. Stop, Calibrate When it comes to selecting a saw blade, the higher the tooth count, the smoother the cut.
Normally, there is a 3p system for installing crown molding. By using this process, all Crown molding problems are eliminated. You will get a revised and elegant work with few errors.
Crown molding is somewhat difficult because walls are not flat, and therefore nailing is complicated. However, the 3p system can solve different issues.
This post will discuss how to install trim on the walls and ceilings first and then add the crown. On different ceilings, we will also discuss how to install and cut crown molding. In this project, we chose a built-up crown that combines standard crown molding with two pieces of base trim. It produces a dramatic crown that is easier to install and less expensive than a single-piece crown molding of similar size.
Along with style, a build-up DIY Crown molding comes with this big benefit. This benefit is that it does not cause any nailing frustrations. With a one-piece crown, you can only drive the nails when you have to frame behind the drywall. In other parts, you can add nailing blocks or use glue.
Make sure that you use glue carefully because sometimes it makes a mess, and therefore strong bonds will not be formed on the narrow edge of the Crown molding.
When you install rail trim, you can deal with these trouble spots more easily when you build up the crown.
