Wood mouldings improve room's look rwmAVMARTH One of die most satisfying home improvements is a do-it- yourself project that, when finished, looks as though it were handled by an accom­ plished professional. Few remodeling jobs are as easy to accomplish for the do- it-yourselfer as die application of wood mouldings. When ap­ plied to walls, wood moulding adds richness, depth, accent and color to give an ordinary room a more elegant and graceful appearance. The right tools, proper planning and knowledge of a few basic woodworking tech­ niques are all that's needed. For most moulding work. you'll need a miter box for cutting accurate 4S and 90 degree angles, says the Wood Moulding and Millwork Producers. Other tools include a fine- toothed saw, hammer, nail set, tape measure, finishing nails, glue, sandpaper and wood filler. Sometimes a cop­ ing saw is required so joints fit together tightly. Once you determine where the moulding is to be used, estimate how much you'll need. Mouldings are available at local home centers or build­ ing supply stores in lengths of three to 16 feet. Make a list of the lengths you'll need. Then round off the measurements to the next largest foot to allow for cut­ ting and trimming. Whenever possible, try to use short pieces. It's been esti­ mated that over half of the in­ terior trim in a home consists of lengths under eight feet. There are more than 350 standard wood moulding pro­ files, though not all patterns are always available. In most cases, says WMMP, a substi­ tute pattern is easy to find. For more information, send 40 cents for the booklet, "How to Work With Wood Mouldings" to WMMP, P.O. Box 25278, Dept. HP, Port­ land, OR 97225. * » •• Soft Wat*, Uie4 Te mm timis M. 1182 sW PAINT y|/ SALE LATEX FLAT WALL PAINT WALL M'*1 WHITE AND CUSTOM COLORS $Q99 GAL • Washable • Long-lasting • Smooth flowing • One coat covers • Easy to apply SOME COLORS SLIGHTLY HIGHER OuMrfiketr LATEX FLAT CEILING FAINT $099 r Q GAL DECORATING IDEAS BOOKLET As Adv*fiit*a * LATEX SEMI GLOSS OuttFoteSl Easy application ot latex with1 the durability of a semi-gloss that gives a smooth china-like finish that is highly washable.
