Here's one for the interior designers. Our house has polyurethaned
pine wood trim and base board. We have white ceilings and colored
walls. Can we have white crown molding on the ceiling and keep a
varnished pine wood base board trim?

The answer, of course, is that you can have whatever you want: after
all, it's your house.

Here's something to consider: use picture mold instead of crown mold,
which is what was used in most rooms in yesteryear. Depending on the
size of the room, this would be a better proportion (plus you could
actually use it to hang pictures, which after all was its original
function).

Available at most better lumber suppliers.
