My house was built in 1904 but in the 70's the owner had a sidewalk carpenter redo the inside in the then popular paneling style. Makes the inside look like a mobile home. I did some minor renovation in the kitchen and need about eight feet of the corner molding. Here are three pictures of the corner molding. It is slightly over a half inch per side. Hope someone can help me find a source.

Around here, Lowes or Home Depot sells something like that in pine. We used some to deal with our similarly "remodeled" hallway in our old house. We painted everything after scuffing and it actually looked 1/2 way decent for long enough to get the house sold.

I needed some trim similar to that for a remodel I did and made it myself. It needed to be 1-1/4 on each face so I started by milling a long piece 1-1/4 square. then rounded the corners with a 1/8 radius bit. Made two rips on the saw to cut out the waste and ended up with a perfect piece that was 3/16 thick on each face.

I absolutely HATE that panel stuff. It is all over my basement and it used to cover the front stair well. Luckily, They did not glue it on. My advice would be to see what is under the panel and remove it if possible.

I tried to do that and found old, cracked, wallpapered with two layers, plaster underneath. Put what I took down back, and painted. We did replace all the 70's molding with new MDF that was more appropriate.
