I am surprised no one mentioned it (that I noticed). During the video, we are instructed to measure from the top of the baseboard to top of door opening. However, the correct method would have been to measure, cut & install the door casing all way to the floor, and the baseboard should butt up against the casing. And using 3/4" casing as seen in video would be thick enough to butt eh baseboard too.
And I doubt those exposed end-grain cuts look good even after paint (2:46). Should have used a mitered return like was done with the small crown piece.
Your welcome. Just purchased a home built in 1940. When researching hardwood floor patch/replacement. I found your channel. You made it so easy so. I did 4 floor returns and a floor furnace. Impressed myself. So thanks again. Your awesome!!
This is quick and dirty. Interesting that she was able to nail into the metal corner beads on that opening. I am thinking about this kind of project, but I am going to do it right and remove the corner beads surrounding the opening and jamb the entire opening as well.
The casing ended on top of our baseboard since we had simple 1x4 baseboards. Normally you would remove just enough baseboard so that the casing goes to the floor and the baseboard terminates into the case molding. ~Chelsea
What if you dont have enough space for a 1x4 on the sides of the door? Can you still make this design using narrower planks? I would imagine one would have to change the the measurements of the top pieces as well...
They are returns, just like an outside corner cut at 45. Best to install it in one piece to avoid open miters like in the video. Glue the returns with CA glue, then install in one piece. The door stop & head casing should also have returns so you don't see ugly end grain of the wood.
Lol you read out that list like ingredients in cookery recipe. I'll just get that machinery out from the bottom drawer 😂, oops I don't have it now it's turned in to 30 plus 💵 job
Thanks for the feedback! I had 1x4 baseboards, so I just ran it on top of the baseboard. The more traditional route would be to cut out baseboard and run cased opening trim to the floor. Best, Chelsea
Straight to the damn point. That's what I LOVE!!!.

How did she nail the middle of the door stop moulding??

Thank You. I been searching far and wide on how to do this. Thanks a Million.
Just what I was looking for to add some much-needed character to my basement remodel project
This is a great how-to, helped me see what I need to do and how to do it. Thank you!
What do you do with the baseboard at the bottom???
Thanks for the video. I did this between my dining room and living room and it looks great.
Excellent video.
Simple and straight forward. lovely work. Thank you for the video.
Truly enjoy watching her. Simple short to the point videos.
I appreciate you! ~Chelsea

@@jaylarue4434 WOW! Way to go! That's impressive. Thanks for sharing! ~Chelsea

Thank you for inspiring me. I followed your instruction and completed the work. It looks perfect.
U make it seem like a damn college course assignment 😂🤣
I love this. It’s explained nicely but you failed to mention that the bottom of the frame should lineup with the baseboard
So, when it is time to repair the walls, won't that 1/8" reveal present a headache to paint?
I would have liked to have seen the bottom. I am doing this and do t know if I should stop at the baseboard or cut out the baseboard
Great instruction. Will follow it exactly. You make it look easy and make me courageous.
Niceeeee Work and Great tips...
Really wish I could have seen what you did at the bottom with the existing trim. Did you remove it from inside the door or just cut to fit?
The casing ended on top of our baseboard since we had simple 1x4 baseboards. Normally you would remove just enough baseboard so that the casing goes to the floor and the baseboard terminates into the case molding. ~Chelsea
did I miss it, did you put wood on the inside too or did you just paint the drywall?
Chelsea is pretty and does good work
Nicely done. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting.
This was perfect for me. Thank you.!
Yay! ~Chelsea
Great step by step instructions, great video your dee best!
I want to trim our openings in stained oak. How do you install the inside of the arch then put the outside trim?
Did you repeat this on the other side of the opening?
Was this filmed with a toaster? Need 4k 60fps smh.
just beautiful. great work.
What about the baseboards below? How do the vertical pieces tie into those??
The right way is to install the casings on top of plinth blocks. Just cut back the baseboard. The opening should also have a wood jamb installed.
Awesome work
could i do this and use a regular pull up bar with this trim or will the trim fall off
Thanks
Phenomenal job! 👍
Cool so easy
How do you do this if you have a narrow baseboard? Do you
Good question! You could cut a 45 degree angle at the bottom of each board so it's much more narrow where it meets the baseboard.
Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing!
30$ in 2018, now it's triple that...
Hi, what kind of wood are you using for this project? Thanks
What if you dont have enough space for a 1x4 on the sides of the door? Can you still make this design using narrower planks? I would imagine one would have to change the the measurements of the top pieces as well...
Yes that would still work! Gotta work with what you have sometimes! ~Chelsea
Your amazing
Nice job. Did you caulk the cove molding also?
Wait.. what about the inside 9f the door? Looks like wood was added but u didn't show that part.
It's still drywall. Just sanded and painted the same as the wood trim! ~Chelsea
Nice 👌 .
Can you tell me what kind of paint you used or show a pic of the paint can. And what kind of wood is that? Thank you!
I used Behr Semi-Gloss Latex paint! Home Depot color-matched Benjamin Moore's Simply White.
How can I work around with the "reveal" if my drywall corner is not right angle but it a bull-nose corner??
anand parsa I would trim the actual opening as well just like a door frame
Watch this video. This guy is legit. czcams.com/video/ry-Mw-YgqxY/video.html
How do you cut those tiny return pieces of bed moulding?
Very carefully.😬
They are returns, just like an outside corner cut at 45. Best to install it in one piece to avoid open miters like in the video. Glue the returns with CA glue, then install in one piece. The door stop & head casing should also have returns so you don't see ugly end grain of the wood.

I like your videos and easy to follow. Your vocal fry is a little distracting but minor
I’m sorry but you look so gorgeous n good job 👍🏽
ما شاء الله جميل جدا
Every time I start something like this that looks easy it ends up taking me months and double the material. Here we go again…..
30 bucks in lumber lol more like 500 now
What about the other side of the room? Lol
Be
"less than $30" LOL
Don't EVER use Painter's Putty for anything!!!
Talk About rough mitres and tear outs and end grains.... peehhhhhh get rid of it
Don't follow this..
Proyecto
Why not, what's wrong with it?
If you are going to post that something is wrong with the instruction, can you explain what?

How did you cut the small pieces of crown
Very carefully and with a little fear.
