My hubby added crown molding to every room in our previous home.....none had existed before. He talked about doing the same here, and has added it to certain rooms already; but our ceiling are so high with lots of transitional places.....too much work! He has kind of replaced that idea with adding larger baseboard molding.....still a lot work, but at least he wouldn't be way up on a ladder!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-75307993165556761072015-09-08T16:19:41.547-04:002015-09-08T16:19:41.547-04:00Thanks!

Our old cottage was built during the same time period and is literally located across the street...um...no trim. This house, tons of it. The only difference is that the old house was built as a summer cottage and the current one was touted as the first year round home in the hood. Who knows, but I like it!

Another great idea!! :-) And they add so much interest and high-end detail! I can't wait until you show off the final finish!!

I never though to look it up, which is weird for me, but maybe it wasn't in style when my house was built. I think I'm going to look into that...<br /><br />I hope you've had a great weekend :)<br /><br />xo,<br />rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-70368651035044368802015-09-07T13:46:57.503-04:002015-09-07T13:46:57.503-04:00What a great solution!

I do, and yours is exquisite,. but we have a lot of windows with craftsman trim that stops 8" from the ceiling, and in our tiny cottage the ceiling moulding would be over kill.
