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.........

That Jay's a handy rascal! Nice work Jay!

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.

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"

:(

I continue to do it anywaY!
