Crown Molding

One of the quickest ways to dress up a room is crown molding. Scale is the key to attractive crown molding--generally, the higher the ceiling, the wider the molding. You don't have to spend a fortune for wide molding. Trim carpenters build up elaborate crowns by piecing together thinner, less expensive, moldings. Easier yet are the new lightweight polyurethane foam crowns available in a variety of widths and pre-molded styles.
