Practice with the basics first until you get good at it!.
If you tried to find baseboards like that and buy them by the foot, you’d probably end up spending thousands of dollars, just for one room.Our solution looks just as good, but costs very little in the end.
We started with an 8″ wide MDF board (MDF is great if it will be painted because it’s so nice and straight) and we layered on a really inexpensive 3.5″ molding right on top.The quarter round at the bottom finishes it off and keeps the whole thing from looking too plain.These baseboards are probably my favorite part of the room!.
We decided to try to copy the style of some of the original detail, to make the room seem a little more fancy than it really is.We noticed that the moldings at the bottom of the door casings have an extra piece that kind of pops out, rather than having the casing go straight to the floor, so we copied that around the closet too.. It’s really simple, but it makes a difference in the room..
Adding crown molding is always a really fun thing to do in any space and it always really makes a big impact.
It’s easy to see pictures of really fancy versions and think you need to spend a lot, but think twice about that if you have walls that change direction a lot in your room like we do..-2 tbsp chipotle dipping sauce (find it near the dressings and sandwich spreads!).
-1 tsp taco seasoning (such as my.homemade taco seasoning.
-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.Let the cream cheese soften on the counter for an hour or so, or just throw it in the microwave for a few seconds, then mix everything together in a bowl, reserving a pinch of green onion and maybe 1/8 of a cup of shredded cheese for garnish..
