> Yeah I noticed that. Did you use one piece all the way around for each room, or did you have to join a few pieces together for some of the longer rooms?

They don’t make pieces they go the whole distance so cuts needed to be made. This is where you use wood glue, cut the crown molding 1/16 more than you need to make a tight seal, use caulk to hide the line, and then repaint the section with an artist brush. Caulking and touch-ups of the holes are the time consuming parts for this job.

Was the all of the trim originally white? I would imagine for rental property white is preferred as you can just touch it up if it is knicked or damaged between renters where as a stained piece you really cant

Yes, when I bought the place over 3 years ago, all the trim was white.

It used to be all natural woodwork under all that paint. House was built in 1930.
