When you buy wood trim like you buy toilet paper at Costco, a wood rack comes in awfully handy. We'd made a dent in the stockpile of the reproduction stuff but then we bought enough giant cove moulding to finish the first floor. Most of it won't be going up for some time. Crown moulding wasn't in the original house nor was it in our plans for the first floor because there just wasn't enough space between the top of the window casing and the ceiling.
Then we discovered that the ceilings were about 4" lower than the original. Now with all the ceiling layers removed in the dining room, there's plenty of space for crown molding. But the living room ceiling and kitchen ceiling (which is a full 12" lower) are staying put for now.
To give you an idea how big this cove moulding is that's going in the dining room, here's my size 13 foot and the crown moulding we put in the master bedroom.
