Crown is my friend!

Hi Jeremy,

I agree with you. There are lots of clients and LJs who like the look of painted wood but for me, personally, I don’t paint unless I have no other options. Crown, and to a larger extent wainscoting, are simply not used enough in houses today. I firmly believe that you simply cannot put too much wood on the walls, floors and ceiling of houses.

To relate a personal story, when I finished laying hardwood in the living room of our current house I wanted to do something a little different. I doubled up on the base (5.25”) and decided to put up a matching three piece crown. I put 5 .25” base on the ceiling and wall and then put up crown. Handling 16’ lengths of 5.25” base and crown is a job (as I ma sure you know). I appreciate the effort that you pros put into this since, for me, this was a one time project but you all have to do this every day.

Thanks for the post. By the way I like the doors as well.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

i share your joy jeremy ! and it happens to be a big part of my business . i spend a lot of days smileing .
