[quote=Anonymous]We always do this and it's an easy DIY (if you can paint, nail gun and saw). Crown moulding is harder, baseboards are easy. I prime the boards, paint two coats, then DH cuts and puts them up with a nail gun. Then I fill all nail holes, caulk and paint another coat. Caulking is KEY. We spend probably $500 a bedroom and that's just for materials, but I know wood is more expensive now. Getting the larger baseboards really makes a room look nicer, those tiny 2-3" baseboards are cheap looking. We couldn't reuse either because we went from carpet to wood and our baseboards were destroyed by the carpet installers. Instead of replacing door trim I normally sand very well and repaint. But we have pretty nice door trim to begin with. [/quote]
