Ditch The Quarter Round - Add This Trim Instead
Face it...quarter round is boring. Let's do something different!
When I installed the paper floor (be sure to check out my post on brown paper flooring) in our dining room, I was faced with a problem...wall gap!
Why couldn't I just take the base off and lower it?
Since my base is just a plain 1x4, I wanted something fancier than quarter round to cover the gap. While browsing the trim aisle... I found what I had been looking for - Shingle molding! It was right next to the shoe molding and quarter round, I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
I brought it home and used my nail gun to secure everything to the existing trim, then added some wood filler and caulk to cover the seams.
