Since 1950, most American homes have been built with plain clamshell molding, narrow colonial molding, or no molding at all, leaving the interior architecture naked and uncelebrated. Trim Idea Book... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I enjoy that there are several pictures that give ideas of the different directions you can go into with a trim project. I've purchased several of the Idea Books and I haven't been disappointed yet. Each one is referenced often while I'm working on my condo redo. This is a great series for anyone who is a DIY guru or anyone working with a contractor (I've been doing both).

I was marking things in this book and walking him through my ideas for my home. He borrowed it and still hasn't given it back. I guess that means we both liked it.

Projects and ideas are realistic. They are not handy-man projects but look finished and professionally designed. I got a good idea for a window seat from book.
