| Hi,
I've oak wooden floors and I'm looking for a trim which will give a contemporary look. I've no crown moulding, but just baseboard trim. I want a wood finish rather than painted finish. What kind of moulding (shape, thickness, and size) and wood would you suggest? The walls are 8 feet tall. If you have any pics, that will be great. Thanks for your time. |

| I have no idea what kind of trim you wish to use---window/new base/chair rail/crown---???? |

| 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.) |
