I prefer no transition. I’d butt the floor right up to carpet. You’ve got plenty of fluff in that carpet. The carpet can be finished off like this. I’d leave the trim in Place and paint it white. then I’d buy quarter round and install. Here’s a hand held tool for cutting 45’s that works on foam type of stuff that looks like wood. thanks, I have qtr round on the edges of the cabinets in the other half of the room so I'd have to do that too, every piece of trim in my house is wood toned( I understand white is popular now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier than tearing off the old trim where I might damage the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

housepicks Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 The trim may be caulked on and nailed on. Yeah you can get it off by running a knife down the top and then working it off with a putty knife but I hardly see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'd have white trim with wood toned cabinets, not sure how that would look. I was also planning on getting the flooring in a wood toned look, as opposed to the grayer/slate like look. Perhaps this look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I dont mind finishing wood, wipe on the finish and then 2-3 coats of poly and it's all good. I'd only be talking maybe 14 ft of qtr rd. the qtr rd by the cabinets is barely on, that'll come off easy and can be put back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the stores online and they sell matching qtr round for the flooring, so if i get something fairly close to the existing wood trim it should look just fine and save a lot of trouble. Combined with your trick with the carpeting over the thresh hold I should be good to go. Looks like they want close to $50 for one length of transition strip - I can avoid that.

You are one stupid human being. Besides being ugly, fat, bald and borderline illiterate it's hilarious that you think I asked DS for a loan. Former engineer my ass. You don't know when to use woman as opposed to women. Now get back to painting your toenails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
