Bob, Brice, Seth.. I am hoping you can chime in here.. [wink]
I am at the last stage of a recessed panel Wainscot project and about to put quarter round on to complete the project and officially decided I hate the look of quarter round. It's too bland, I want something unique with more visual interest that ties in nicely with the panel molding/colonial look. In hindsight I should have scribed the floor, kinda ticked I didn't. Moving on...
I picked up some samples of the three different sizes of window stop (aka colonial stop), which looks like a miniature of Coloninal baseboard. Not sure I like this look either, however it does butt up nice and clean with my plinths, which project about 3/8ths of an inch. But it looks like a miniature of colonial base and therefore to me, looks like a mini imposter. I am going to paint out a mock-up of this to see what I think once it's finished..Yes I know I am overthinking this, I just want to save myself from ripping it out later on.
My last option is the profile that is in the attachment here, which I am leaning towards. What I wanted to hear from you folks is if you have any creative solutions here for this? Maybe a profile you could recommend to get a nicer look than quarter round; even if it's something I rip down from another profile.
