We have stone flooring that butts against the drywall.
Not sure, but think the stone is over thin masonite-like layer, over
some soft layer, over slab concrete. At the edge, it appears they
originally put in grout, but that grout crumbles out easily, plus
painting the wall down to the flooring does NOT make a nice edge.
What caluking, or something like that, can I use to make the transition
pliable to not crack in the future, yet hard enough to resemble grout?
The drywall extends behind the stone tiles [stone tiles are 1/2 inch
thick] and most of the original grouting is cracked and crumbling out.
Worst construction technique I've seen in a long time, but I have to
change it. Just don't know how.
At the metal sliding doors, I plan on using clear, since overlap won't
show and the crack is dark enough to match the doors.
The stone is patterned, but generally, light cream colored limestone out
of Turkey.
What about nailing a baseboard to the wall?

Baseboard/molding is how it's typically done because it works
and it looks good.
