| I've done a lot of searching on this. I found some suggestions over at the livemodern forums, but this is what I ultimately decided on. For the baseboard, I had 1 x 4 popular planed to 1/2 inch thick. The door trim is basic clamshell, which is 11/16 at the wide end. I think these two work nicely together. Somebody suggested using the same thickness for the doortrim, but I thought it looked too boxy. The clamshell trim is very typically 50's. (BTW, I'm painting mine.) |
