Too much molding, overkill. Added work when new painting is needed.

Good information and is a nice touch. The only thing I would change is the chalking you use. A long time ago I started using a more flexible product called Vulcan. (no I do not sell it) I found it stays flexible and first got introduce to it when a large windows were being installed on a house I was working on. It holds up to the weather, but works just as well indoors. It sticks to the glass/whatever and does not pull away when dried. I find this is the best stuff to use in mobile homes where there is always expanding and contracting, and do not want gaps all the time. Depending on the part of the country you are at, different products with different names work just as well and will fill a 1/4 inch gap. They also come in colors, which can save on painting, if need be.

I don't think I've ever seen shoe molding on a carpeted floor. Did the pliability of the carpet present problems or did it make it easier to get a tight fit?

It's a wonder how moldings can make it look so good...

This project adds so much to making a once plain room into an elegant area. I like the price, the choices and the finished look. Well Done.

I see that it is mostly men posting comments. So for all of us females that do the same. I would like to say "thanks" for all of your suggestions and tips. My next project is to re-do the flooring on deck and enclose it. Size is 56 ft. x 14 ft.

A most excellent project. I have a house built circa 1875 with very ornate and beautifull woodwork downstairs but the builder failed miserably upstairs, a real plain job. I will use and expand upon your project to improve my upstairs. Thank You.

I always enjoy your quotes for the day as well as your helpful tips like todays. A little trim, a little caulk, and a fresh coat of paint do wonders for a tired looking space. Again, thanks for your emails. God bless!
