How to install box molding on walls

November 04, 2009

Share this

For a few weeks, I've been feeling like something was missing in my life...an itch that needed to be scratched. I felt a longing for something, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Then, one day, looking around our house, it hit me...I haven't done a molding project for EIGHT months. 

That's like a millennium in Sarah time. I needed to squelch the need for molding STAT. I knew just the project to attack. I decided to add picture frame molding to the living room so it would continue around the room from our foyer. Here's what I did years ago (the pic is from years ago too):

So I took a trip to the greatest, most amazing place on earth. That most amazing place would be Lowe's. My Squeeeeee-zay Lowe's. When I pick out molding, I lay it out on the floor to make sure it lays fairly flat and straight before I buy it:

This is the part when about 15 sweet Lowe's employees come up to me and ask it I need any help. Little do they know, I am very familiar with my lovely molding. We are tight.
I have been wanting to make a video for you all for months now, but couldn't' figure out the right topic. When I started this project, I realized it would be perfect!!
I'll have you know, I took one take each peeps. No rehearsal. No make up. It's scary.
Things you need to know before watching:
1. My eyes may look like they are as big as saucers, but they really aren't. (I don't think.) For some reason I look like I'm buggin' out. My hubby has always told me my eyes are his favorite feature of mine, but now I'm wondering what he's seeing. All I'm seeing is B.U.G.
2. I guess I have a turkey neck. It's been 34 years and I didn't know this until now. It's really, really pretty, let me tell you.
3. You'll see the back of my head for an extended period of time and my hair color looks really nice. I like it. Hope you do too.
4. I'm trying to decide if I should cut my hair again or grow it out. And it shows. ;)
OK, enough about me and my issues with the videos. The first is introducing myself, like you don't know who I am: I showed you how to cut molding on this post back in March. In this video, I show you how easy it is to get this stuff up on the wall: All of the molding in our foyer was done before I had a nail gun, so you don't have to have one. It just makes the process much quicker! I had my finger on the microphone for the next one, so I had to redo it. I'm new at this peeps, bear with me: Whew, I need a nap. Or a drink. Or somethin'. Be kind to me people. ;)
I will show you the final result later this week! Only one more coat of paint to go and I'm done.

    Okay, can I just say that I am so going to put molding in my new house just so I can watch your video over and over again!

    You are TOO CUTE!

    And you make me LOL that you said you looked like BUTT! One because you SO didn't look like butt, but two because that is so something I would have said about myself!

    Have I mentioned lately that I love you and your fabulous blog!

    Sarah you are my handy-WO-man! Thanks for that. My dad too will totally rearrange Lowe's to find the best pieces of any kind of wood, hehehe.
    Anyways I've got to ask you, and forgive me for my ignorance. . . the molding we can see in your top pic- how are you doing that? I mean the white background? Have you painted everything below the chair molding white? Or is there actual wood there? I've always wanted to do that.

    First Video: I spent the first five minutes AFTER watching this laughing. It's so nice to hear someone else say "I look like butt" and several times at that!
    Second Video: Still rolling on the floor laughing. Living in Los Angeles, I get giggled at for my "sayings" and "I look like butt" is one of them. Sorry. Moving on. This video was done really well. It made complete sense to me and as a complete beginner living in an apartment, that says a lot. Then I started laughing again at your comment about the nail gun. I'm known for being a klutz so I can't wait to see the looks when I buy one for myself.
    Thank you. These videos were wonderful to watch. And you don't have bug eyes, you don't look like butt and you were enjoyable to watch and listen to.

    I could get used to this! I loved watching you and seeing just how easy doing molding is. I've always loved molding. I guess it stems from our apartment days when they had chair railing and molding all over the place. I can't wait to ask my husband for a nail gun, and a few other tools. I bet he gets turned on...you know men. ugh! TMI sorry. Anyway, I have so many places where I want to do molding and NOW I KNOW I can do it!

    THank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!

    Oh you do NOT look like butt...that is going to be my new fave saying though. Thanks for this...I have foam molding lurking in my foyer waiting for me to give it a try. Home depot told me it had to go into studs...that's part of what's holding me up cause what if the studs aren't where I want the molding?? But after watching your video I don't think I need to nail into studs. Right?

    First-hair color is great!
    Second-great job on the one handed video.
    Third-awesome molding! I love putting up molding and I hope this gets more people to try. My tip, paint prior to cutting and once it is in place on the wall you only have to touch it up.

  36. ErinNovember 5, 2009 at 10:07 AM

    you are so cute! It's fun to actually hear you talk the way that you write (probably visa-versa, but not to me!) one question though... how wide is your level? because I would be soooo tempted just to do that distance between all of my boxes an the door frame... would it work?

    Foam chair rail? WHHAAT? My hubs & I just bought chair rail last night at the Lowe's for a dining room project and had I read this prior to our visit I would have been better informed. Now I need to know where you got it. It may be a better/safer bet for our skill level ;) Also nail guns...are they super expensive? Will one cause my husband to "make up" projects he needs to do just 'cause he has one? These are the important questions...help a sista out :)

    You have encouraged me to try this. I love molding as much as you and now I simply MUST. HAVE. IT. I really love your video. It is so much easier to understand how to do something when you view it instead of read about it.

    You are too cute! Love the hair color! This video came just in time, because I will be redoing my master bedroom soon and have been contemplating adding molding and a few other touches on the walls and ceiling to add some warmth and character. Right now everything is removed from the room and I have a completely blank slate to work with.

    Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

    Is this perfect timing or what?! You know I'm afraid of molding but I'm deperate to install some. AND I'm at the point in my DIY M-bath redo where I have to get molding to frame the mirrors, or pay a fortune to a framer. So, molding from Lowes is on my list of projects for next week, once I plan to take a couple of days off. I can't wait to see your video.

    I would love to see a picture of what you put behind the trim in the last video.

    I think I now have the courage to try out this project. Thank you!

    i hope you didn't already answer this, but how high off the floor do you make your chair rail? i've seen so many different heights, but wondering what you prefer.

    I have to admit, though--now I really, really want a nail gun. How much do they cost?

    Okay, here's one for you! My husband and I hung cabinets in our laundry room and we have molding to put up around the top to "finish" them. The molding corners go in and out and for the life of him, he can not figure out the inside corner. Do you have an answer for that one. Oh and we have big man tools at our house, no miter boxes, a miter SAW. That thing scares me to death but if you could tell me how to 'work the angles', I'll do it myself! I WILL! I SWEAR TO YOU I WILL!

    Ok.. Totally stupid question, but...

    Your walls look totally smooth. Mine aren't :( Would it look goofy on a knockdown textured wall? Maybe I just can't picture it... but I don't want to invest time and money adding this to my house if it's gonna look funny...

    I love it so much, and I need it in my house though!!

    Thank you so much for posting this video. I just built some boxes on our walls and this was my go-to guide! Thank you!! (If you want to see my finished product, feel free to visit here: http://racksandmooby.blogspot.com/2011/07/boxes-on-our-walls-part-4-assembling.html) I've linked back to your video! :)

    Nice tutorial Sahra! Decorating with mouldings can just get so addictive. Do you have any other moulding projects in the works?

    Thanks for the great video!

    Cheers,
    Ken
