Book Reviews of 1001 Ideas for Trimwork (Home Decorating) (English and English Edition)
Book Review: My favorite trimwork book for ideas
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book that taught me a lot about trimwork. My favorite part of the book was the photos and illustrations of various base molding, casings, wainscoting, rosettes, finials, corbels. It included a few exterior molding trim, stair railings and more. My other favorite part of the book were the sideviews of various moldings, like a baseboard.
In my Mom's house I realized the name of the molding used along the bottom of the wall is shoe molding. It's so helpful to know the names of different molding and all the options out there. It describes how to use 1-3 molding pieces together to make a really nice, finished molding.
Not only does the book talk about the names of the molding and illustrations of the molding, it gives some info about establishing floor levels. The section on casings and wainscotting was really good, because a lot of books just briefly touch on the subject. You'll find info on window seats, shelving, pillars, ceiling treatment and pilasters in this book. The photographs were wonderful and clear. Sometimes I got distracted by the rooms themselves, but when they are so gorgeous...
I definitely give this book a thumbs up and think it gives a well-rounded view of architectural trimwork in the home. My favorite trimwork book so far.
