When you build a house, the interior trim is one of the last things to be installed, but one of the first things you notice after it's complete. Because it's always visible, interior trim deserves a fair amount of effort in both design and execution. For the designers who drew the plans and the carpenters who installed it, these details showcase their craft to an audience every day, a calling card of sorts. For those chronically afflicted with SRS (serial remodeler's syndrome), a new trim scheme is a great excuse to set up the miter saw. As building science matures, it's getting harder and harder to build a house, let alone build one that has personality and a unique sense of character. But of all the materials used to build a house, the trim can be one of the least expensive and the easiest to customize.
