Seeking Ideas on Trim
I plan to pull up carpeting and expose HW floors, and at the same time
replace my baseboards. I also want to redo the stairway end-cap (I believe there is a proper name for it, but I don't know what it is). These are a photos of how they did it back in '61. The baseboard is just cut at a 45 against the vertical quarter-round, and filled in with caulk. It looks kinda hokey in my opinion. Any suggestions on how to build the end-cap and marry it to new baseboards? I have air nailers and a miter saw, so I can get pretty fancy. I am just short of ideas. I'll either do oak or painted pine, whatever anyone thinks looks better. Thanks. http://jcman.hostingisfree.com/p1010148.jpg http://jcman.hostingisfree.com/p1010147.jpg |

You can also rip the bottom of the base molding at an angle so that the base molding on top of the skirt board can be lower than what runs around the room. |

The only thing that bothers me is that there is not a gradual transition from the skirt board to the base molding. It is kind of abrupt, going from a 1 by to the base molding. Maybe I could install a new skirt and chamfer the edges a little bit with a router. |
