Peter and I went to pick crown molding, window and door casings last weekend. I had this image of a room tagged on Pinterest. See how hefty the moldings and millwork are?

I love a meaty crown molding especially when you have tall ceilings. When one is thoughtful with the size of their crown molding, you are halfway there in creating the mood of a space.

We have 10’4” ceilings so doing a dainty, detailed crown molding will only get lost in the shuffle. Instead we chose a tall 4”-5” molding that will really give the walls some drama.

We went to Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge MA to make some selections. They have a whole building dedicated to moldings and they have samples you can take home to try.
