Our ceilings are standard height (8′) and our baseboard is standard too (I believe it’s around 4-5″).

How tall are your ceilings in this room and how tall is your baseboard? We want to install crown and replace our baseboards, but are not sure how chunky to go in our relatively small (1500 sq ft) craftsman house. THanks!

I love the bedskirt tutorial! I am expecting a nephew in April and I just did my sister’s nursery. Her and her husband wanted a Batman theme so I was able to give them a custom velcro pleated bedskirt along with a few other custom items. I finished their room and just posted it on my site! Thanks for the inspiration!

I ran into this same thing a couple of times when I was trying to use the bigger crown. What I ended up doing was just sawing off the last little bit manually with a hand saw, keeping the blade flat against the existing cut so I was sure to make the angle on the rest of the way down. It did make me wish I had a bigger miter saw though! :)

I know this post is a couple days old but I found this adorable stuffed whale from Catbird that would go perfectly in the room!
