Comments on: Molding, Moulding, or Trim? http://www.remodelingguy.net/2009/02/molding-moulding-or-trim/ Remodeling ideas, inspiration, and advice Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:37:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rachel L http://www.remodelingguy.net/2009/02/molding-moulding-or-trim/#comment-1893 Rachel L Fri, 15 May 2009 20:28:13 +0000 http://www.remodelingguy.net/?p=488#comment-1893 Hi -- I stop by your blog frequently and enjoy your tips. I have a question about existing trim/molding. Our living room and dining room have an large amount of trim -- it is still in the original state from the house was built. It's in good condition, but I'm not fond of the "natural" wood look. I want to update the look by painting everything a creamy white -- our kitchen trim and cabinets are already a creamy white . . . painting the rest of the trim would allow everything to match and flow much better than does now. My husband and carpenter father-in-law disagree and think that I would be making the worst mistake ever in painting. Here's the link to this problem & pictures: <a href="http://followinginmyshoes.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-debate.html" rel="nofollow">The Great Debate</a>. When you have the chance, I would LOVE for you to weigh in on this argument and let me know if ("YES") I should paint or ("NO") I should just leave well enough alone. Thank you so much! Hi — I stop by your blog frequently and enjoy your tips. I have a question about existing trim/molding. Our living room and dining room have an large amount of trim — it is still in the original state from the house was built. It’s in good condition, but I’m not fond of the “natural” wood look. I want to update the look by painting everything a creamy white — our kitchen trim and cabinets are already a creamy white . . . painting the rest of the trim would allow everything to match and flow much better than does now.

My husband and carpenter father-in-law disagree and think that I would be making the worst mistake ever in painting.

Here’s the link to this problem & pictures: The Great Debate.

When you have the chance, I would LOVE for you to weigh in on this argument and let me know if (“YES”) I should paint or (“NO”) I should just leave well enough alone.

Thank you so much!

I can't wait to read this series. I have molding on the brain lately. Wait. That doesn't sound right. Although I suppose it's truer than I care to admit. We got the P&C air compressor with 3-pack nailers for $89 around Thanksgiving. Yep! $89! It was a total fluke. We had been watching it for a while. One day they had a clearance sign on the display so we snapped it up. The next day it was back up the the regular price. Very weird. Now we just need a framing nailer and we can start finishing our basement.

Here in Germany (and maybe in the States, I don't know) they have super awesome styrofoam molding. You can cut it with a kitchen knife (we found a bread knife works best) and tack it up with a styrofoam glue. It's so cool. It's perfect for us, being that we are temp residents and will have to take it down when we PCS (military speak for 'move') in a few years. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I did notice that I was over 10,000 hits! I'm ridiculously excited. <abbr><em>Mom in High Heels’s last blog post..<a href="http://myheelsarehigherthanyours.blogspot.com/2009/02/happy-mardi-gras.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Mardi Gras!</a></abbr></em> Oh, I love molding!
