In one day, thanks to borrowing a friend’s air nailer, Scott has managed to nail shoe molding around most of the downstairs flooring.
Much of it was in long strips. Look at him go :)
But there are a few areas, like around the stairs, where we had to get a little creative.
The benefit of using an air nailer isn’t just its speed; it also forces the nail further into the molding, which means there are no nail heads to paint over. Instead, I just need to fill the holes with either wood putty or caulk, giving the entire look a much smoother finish. Once I have the time (and patience, it’s a lot of molding!), I’ll spend a few hours filling in any of the gaps.
But even if I don’t get to it for a while, the addition of shoe molding makes the floor look that much better, don’t you think?
Before & After
Amazing! lol…you molding is EXACTLY like mine in my house. In I know you stopped by my page one already, thanks for that. But yeah, my living room redo post. The picture under the table same darn molding. And your hubby did a great job! It makes it look so complete. Mmmm now I must think carpet or molding? Yours sure does look nice :)
Your welcome for the award. I love your blog.
Definitely! Maybe showing this to Tom will help him get busy on our molding that, yes, we've been meaning to do – for over a year. Whoops. :x
It looks fantastic!

Another tool to add to my list for Santa- who already suspects the list is Bob Vila's. The baseboards look great, and the floors are gorgeous.
Nice!
Makes a huge difference.. and looks really professional.
It's amazing how much quicker having the right tools makes jobs like this… are you going to buy him one for Christmas ??

I love this idea! I've been thinking of things I could do for our long entry hallway and instead of a gallery wall, I really like your theme style and design. Your home renovation is too nice.
