staircase trim

nohandle
17 years ago

I'm renovating a small set of stairs that go from my basement to my main level kitchen. What I can't decide on is what to do with the trim above the stringer. Before there was just quarter round to hide the seam along the wall, but I didn't really like the way the baseboard just stopped with a square edge at the top of the stairs. But I really don't know whether it would look funny if I just continued the baseboard from the kitchen floor down the side of the stairs on top of the stringer.

Alternatively I guess I could miter a piece for the end of the baseboard that would take it down to the height of the quarter round, but I'm not sure if this would work either.

Does anyone have any experience or advice they could share with me?

I know it's only a very small detail, but it's a nagging one to say the least.

Thanks
