There's a reason why our classical architectural traditions have lasted as long as they have--they anchor us to our past in a world where change seems to come by the hour. Properly designed and installed moldings give your home a visual foundation for that tradition, and that's why I've been writing about them since 2002. Your home should be a place of refuge, a place to recharge, a place to reorient yourself from the chaos outside. Moldings with meaning are one part of that.
