The first day of my vacation, I lined up the pre-primed baseboards outside and took advantage of the sunny day to get them all painted with two coats of white paint. Like my handy bucket and 2×4 support system for painting? Gotta make due with what you have on hand.
We have high ceilings and need to cover the existing baseboards that were flush with the drywall throughout the house so we went with 4 and 1/4 inch baseboards. We shopped around and found the best price at a local lumber yard on pre-primed boards. Such a time saver to not have to prime the boards too.
they really are one of those finishing details! i agree!
Looks good!
Oh baseboards are the best! But I hate installing them. We lived for about a year with out them and another year later we still have a few walls that need to be finished. Send your husband over when he’s done, please?

They really just finish a room don’t they! We still have ours to do in our dining/living room, hopefully by the summer!!

Looks great! They make such a difference, don’t they? This was a project that we put off for far too long too, then once we did it, we were kicking ourselves because it was huge impact for minimal effort.
It is amazing what trim can do to help a room feel finished. I am not looking forward to dealing with mine at all!
