This is exactly what I was looking for. We are finishing our basement and I am sick about paying $3, 000 for labor for trim. I was looking for a video with no miter saw and just 90 degrees. Everyone says I can't do it and I want to prove them wrong!!! I have a nail gun, and I'm ready!

I use a piece of cardboard between the pry bar and the wall to prevent scuffs and damage to the paint and drywall.

I like it. Simple and to the point. Good farmhouse look.

I pay a little bit more for the pre-primed pine boards. Saves a step of priming, but more importantly they’re better (straighter) cuts of wood. Some of the cheaper unfinished pine boards can have a bend or curve to them, where I’m not talented enough to overcome 😆

I love this kind of base boards my house is a 140 year old craftsman and that is what I have and I love them.

THANK YOU!! SO glad to FINALLY find a video with SIMPLE instructions to do EXACTLY this. I am a first-timer so I want to do exactly this to my home but wanted to find someone who did it this way without it getting overcomplicated for my first time. U did EXACTLY what I want the exact way I have been wanting to do it. Again.. FINALLY..something done simple (not saying it wasn't hard at all.) When I use the word "simple, " I am only referring to having wanted to do this for a while now and actually seeing it done in a way that I can follow without it getting into additional trim on top of it and other things that make it more complicated. U did a beautiful job! It looks awesome. Hope you're enjoying it and I can't wait to see your other videos! U have a new subscriber!

Liz, your projects are amazing! Nice seeing your hubby help. You two need your own HGTV show. You're already a superstar. And his haircut is awesome.

My house is 130 years old and we have always had the 6" mop boards and I love them rather than the little 4" or less.

One of the best tools we bought for our construction business was a ryobi battery powered caulk gun. The best under $50 tool. It will save time caulk waste and your forearms. Great job. It looks really nice.

My hubby has been leary of letting me do this but he agreed after seeing this. Way to go Liz, this was a great score for me. ❤️ your channel.

Oh this looks amazing! And the answer to my stress! lol. My husband and are finishing up our renovation on our 120 yr old home and in the process of the demo we had to scrap some of the nice thick baseboards and I was stressing over how we were going to remedy this problem without spending a fortune. This really is beautiful! Thank you 😊

[sharonjansky]

Wow you are amazing! This is the thrill of watching your channel - you never know what creative project we get to see next. So much inspiration!

[barbarashipley]

I think it has a more modern look. I like it!

[spidermonkey]

Love the thicker baseboards, they look really nice.

Love that you've made a video for people to understand this concept. So many diy'ers these days don't get the simplicity and honestly the durability of this. My wife and i completely refinished our old house. 2450sqft of new flooring and trim. Using 1 by lumber for all of the floor, door and window trim. I installed the same thing in our new house myself to save some serious construction cost. My only complaint is i don't think white is very farmhouse.... the term emits a feeling of hand crafted wood colored creeky floors and 9ft doors. Though this style is very cost effective, slapping paint over the wood grain isn't the same!

[wilmaheger]

We have to change them too one day. Love it how it turned out.
Thanks!!

[chandracox]

I think you're supposed to prime, caulk and then paint so that you don't have the caulk showing on the seams as well as the nail holes. Overall, this is a great way to upgrade baseboards. I love it and will be using this in my home. We just bought a house and it just finished being built two months ago. We close next week and I cannot wait to get in there and change these builder grade finishes. Thank you!

[juliacockroft]

Very nice. It’s amazing what a difference a simple change can make in a room.

Ive just done this on my 130 yyear old cottage. Much cheaper even than rubbish mdf trim and sooo much nicer. Ive also used planed and cleaned up
recycled hardwood weatherboards for baseboards.

[janellecross]

I'm getting ready to finish my bathroom with the same style of trim and baseboard! Thanks for
