My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What is the height of the header and baseboards (assuming no wainscoting) & width of the casing?

Love the trim! We are replacing the trim in our 1930 home. Are you able to provide the measurements?

    Casing is a 1x4 so it is 3.5" wide, header is composed of three parts that have a total height of 7.5" (bead moulding is approximately 1/2", board is a 1x6 which is 5.5", and crown is approximately 1.5" at the spring angle), and the base is also a 1x6 which is 5.5" plus a 1 3/8" base cap for a total height of 6 7/8". Hope this helps! If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks.

      Love the serenity of the paint color. Would you mind sharing the color/brand with me?

      Also is it at 100%, or have you lightened it a bit? If so, by what percent?

      Thanks very much!

      I would also love to know the paint applied here - both on the trim and the walls. Thanks!
