Hey all,
Great forum here, I've lurked for quite awhile and gotten plenty of good tips.
I decided to re-do my Kitchen paint, baseboard etc, and in the process tore out (3) existing door jambs (25 year old house) was a lot of doorways with actual doors, one even was a double swinging door like the old West lol.
So I framed them all out with 1x6 (primed FJ board) ripped down etc. I liked the look of the fluted casing with a plinth block and a rosette. I didn't even think about it but did 2 of them and they turned out great, then...... I got to the 3rd one and the opposite sides of the 2 I did and realized that because of how the are close to adjoining walls etc, something will have to be done, or re-done.
What do you think I should do? Still use the rosettes just move them over and then rip the casing on one side? Go a different route and get rid of the rosette/plinth idea all together? I really like the way it dressed things up, and its very nice to get rid of the door jambs and not look at existing door hinge marks etc.
I attached some pics. Let me know what you think! Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
