As a wise painter once said, "just like a woman doesn't really need lipstick, a house doesn't really need trimmings, but they sure can enhance the image when you add a little dressing-up".

| 5-inch trim for the dining room to hall passage. Unpainted, you can see the different elements. Once it is painted it will dissolve into one frame. |
 |
| Plinth, base molding and side side trim all have to be mitered to form the corner. |
 |
| The 5-inch rosettes form a mirror image in the upper corner. The great craftsmanship that has gone into making these corners perfect will live with the house forever. |
 |
| Original rosettes are returned to the house in the most conspicuous spots. These two sets of original plinths and rosettes will welcome visitors coming in the front door. You see more original wood in the background on the side entrance. Our goal was to keep everything consistently old from the front entrance. The white painted pieces are old, the gray primed pieces are new wood milled by a local carpenter who specializes in matching original moldings. |
