Im working on finishing the basement and will be ready for baseboard trim in a few weeks. I really hate the look of the standard oak colonial (i think its called colonial) lightly stained trim I see at most houses including my upstairs. I also really dont want painted.....
Anyone have any interesting or unique trims they use for around windows and baseboards?
I plan on having a slate floor throughout the entire level. I was actually thinking about doing a log trim.........
Well, if you don't want wood or painted, you're short on options. Personally, I think that tile can look nice when used as a baseboard. The tiles could be arranged in a diamond pattern to make it stand out from the floor a little.
Although, I do have some books on interior design...just haven't opened 'em up yet (plus, I've only had 'em for a couple of years...they haven't aged enough :laughing.
I would guess probably so...but if that will be the main concern you probably want to stick to some standard painted/stained base. No fun in that though.

True then again I own a starter split level home and my remodels/projects usually consist of higher end stuff and I get a lot of comments like " it looks great but you are never going to get your money back when you sell, remember its only a starter home"
You'll get your material money back I'll bet. Doing the work on your own place is part of the reward...usually. Unless it's painting...I hate painting...unless it's the virtual kind.:whistling2:
