It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

The Transformation To This Floor Molding Is NIGHT AND DAY!

If you have preexisting moldings but they are thinner that you like, this is an amazing way to make them nice and thick without taking anything out and without spending a fortune on new moldings.

Like these guys did.

First, measure out how thick you want your molding to be and then place a thin piece of molding at that point.

Do this all the way around the room and then prime and paint the whole area from the top trim to the floor.

People pay a fortune for molding like this! No one will ever know that is your bare wall in between the two strips of real molding.

The room really comes to life.
