1. Saucy Berbank Here you're seeing a lot of what we talked about. Straight stock, board and batten (here 3/4). Straight stock casings (here without headers) If you end up going with the straight stock option, I think this is a good place to draw inspiration from. I like the chair they've chosen. I also like what they're done at the ceiling here. The crown throughout the rest of the house fits nicely too. Everything fits nicely together, the style and proportions are balanced.
2. White Lake Same house again, they've added board and batten to the exterior entrance. Just wanted to give you pics of it straight to the ceiling.
2. White Lake Good idea to scroll though this whole house paying attention to their mouldings.
2. White Lake Same room. Consider whether you like this style. Like I said before it will be a way to keep your moulding cost low while not compromising on the style you like.
2. White Lake This is the pic I was talking about. I considered for a long time to go this route. This size of stool and apron are for me the correct proportions. I also like how there is no header. Considering the ceilings in many of the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms, it may be best to omit crowns in those spaces. I can explain at our next meeting what "killing" or "returning" the crown means. You will want to avoid this and vaulted or sloped ceilings will make it impossible.
3. Princeton Restoration Again with the straight stock used around the windows. Considering the crown and square panel mouldings in this space are all quite ornate, it's odd to see such a plain window casing.
3. Princeton Restoration Saved this to show you a perfect example of how the crown on the cabinetry has been used throughout the space. While in this pic they've matched only one piece of the crown...adding what can be referred to as a "frieze" below the first crown piece on the cabinetry. Not technically a "frieze" technically a two piece crown. It just makes it easier to describe, I can explain at our next meeting.
3. Princeton Restoration Forget the dental moulding crowns. Here again you can see a simple (likely) 2 piece casing made of straight stock.
4. Lake Minnetonka Here you have the added detail of a "back band". Still simple this is using all straight stock. Could be one piece, but likely they're used a back band here.
5. Jersey Sound House Same house as the window in the green bathroom. Here you can see the matching installation around the door and windows in the same space.
5. Jersey Sound House Window has both a header ( aka architrave ) and a stool with apron. Aside from the top of the header. The window casing is installed using almost entirely straight stock. Inexpensive without skimping on quality.
If you look closely, this one also finishes on top of the stone sill.
