How to Install Moldings for a Georgian Room

In this video, Brent builds out a 10’ Georgian room. Using properly scaled molding and a classical reference, Brent installs base, casing, and crown. He also shows how to elevate the prominence of a room with elevated casings, crossetted corners, built-up crowns, and a custom chair rail. If you're interested in the Georgian style and want to start building authentic rooms, this video is a great start.

Amazing video! You are a true craftsman. Could you paint the backdrop a contrasting color, grey/blue, so the white molding stand out and details are accented.

[@BrentHull]

Yes I can. That is on my to-do list. Thanks.

[@WormAteWords]

Fantastic explanation. Can you elaborate on how moldings were fastened to older walls that were brick and plaster?

[@BrentHull]

Yes, absolutely. Thanks for the idea.

[@kareng8033]

Thank you for all of this information! I love watching your videos! I have a widow sill that is 24” high in a 9’ room. Would you align the chair rail with the window or raise it up to 28”?

[@BrentHull]

It would depend on what else is happening in the room. My first idea would be to tie it to the sill height but would consider raising it as well. You are trying to harmonize the room. Good luck.

[@needaman66]

Hi Brent, carpenter of 40 years. Don't get much of a chance to do classical trim, but love it. Q. Why do Americans call architrave casing?

[@BrentHull]

Good question. I'm not sure why it changed, maybe as manufacturers standardized trim in the 1880's it was easier to market?? Thanks for watching.

[@tc9148]

Love it, especially the simple window trim and the chair rail aligning with the window stool and apron. What do the window stool and apron consist of?

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for watching. Not sure what you mean by "consist of" . Let me know, Thanks.

[@tc9148]

@@BrentHull What are the exact moldings for the apron and stool? Is the stool ¾”x3-½” beaded casing and the stool ¾” x 2” stock?

[@tc9148]

@@BrentHull Watched the video several more times and got it. Looks like you are using ¾”x3-½” beaded casing and WindsorONE WOBB001 back band 1-¾”x7/8” as stacked window stool/apron bumping out the stacked stool/apron by 1” then using those same stacked moldings as chair rail to create a continuous integrated window stool/apron - chair rail. Pure genius-love it.

[@mackenzieyounger9200]

👌🏼

[@BrentHull]

Thanks!

[@vincenzoleboffe8770]

I really like your channel and your passion for molding and trim I have a trick question How you transition crown molding when an arch window is in the way I want to build a coffers cealing and it will drop my cealing 4 to 6 in When I install crown around the lower ceiling I will run into the top of my arch window trim How I get around the issue that the top of the window arch is in the space where the crown runs Thanks

[@BrentHull]

Thanks. You're right, that is a tricky question. Typically, we'll use a keystone at the top of the arch that dies into the cieling and allows the crown molding to die into the keystone. It is a prettier transition. Good luck.

[@kmonnier]

[@BrentHull]

The best! thanks for watching.

[@hortstu4734]

I'm doing carpentry for a few years now. Lots of basic trim work. I'd like to learn more about this higher end stuff before i have to do it. Can you recommend any books or videos outside of yours that might accelerate my learning?

[@BrentHull]

Always look to the past, which is the best teacher. My book on historic Rooms from Winterthur is a good start. Traditional American Rooms. Check it out.

[@maryefern]

At what point on the “dial” do you begin to add in the chair rail, wall paneling, crown, etc. in relation to the door openings? Or are the walls and doors elevated independently of one another? To give an extreme example, could you have a formal door with a header on it and a completely bare wall?

[@BrentHull]

Technically yes, but it doesn't have a strong historic precedent.

[@jelsner5077]

Is there a stock moulding to fill that tiny square on the cross headed casing?

[@BrentHull]

Not that I know of, historically it was decorative. It can also be left blank. Thanks

[@glenncallahan9037]

Hi Brent, I know you're crazy busy but, I just got a new plotter and was wondering if there is any way could send me a file of the full-sized column print? Would love to print it out and hang it in my shop to inspire the guys. That would be so cool. Thanks

[@BrentHull]

I don't have the file. My architect friend did it for me. FYI.

[@homesteadorbust]

Is that style of casing only seen in gerogian style, or does federal share the crossetted casing.

[@BrentHull]

Some of these also show up in Federal houses. There are subtle differences. Panels are different, moldings are bolder. Thanks.

[@BrentHull]

[@SOLT_Mark]

Shouldn't the door and window header heights line up as your first priority? Seems awkward to have a stronger casing on the door and it be shorter in stature than the window.

[@BrentHull]

Traditionally the size of the casing was driven by the size of the opening. The casing should not overwhelm a small door or window, thus it should shrink in size. I think you'd be surprised how often they change in historic houses. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@tc9148]

@@BrentHull Yes, I had the same observation. Typically new construction has an 84” head height for a 108” ceiling height and an 80” door with window and door heaths the same. For the 31”x62” window you were showing, that would make the window stool and chair rail at 84”-62” = 22” above the floor or low for your 28”-32” chair rail height. So it must be a 120” ceiling with a 96” door and a typical 99” head height. Then the window stool would be 99”-62” = 37” which is too high for the chair rail as shown. So I’m confused as to how to apply what you showed to new construction in 2021.

[@SOLT_Mark]

@@tc9148 I agree. I'm confused also

[@SOLT_Mark]

@@BrentHull Thanks for the reply. I'm just confused. I wasn't so worried about the size of the casing. It just doesn't seem right that the window ht. exceeds the door ht. Even though I am a licensed builder in Fl. you seem to be very versed and studied on these matters and I respect your knowledge. It's just not typ. of what I see.
