Step 4Picture frames
iImage Information

to finish out the inside of the frames i like to use base cap molding. you can use normal wood glue at this point. you can leave the field inside the frames empty for a flat panel look, or you could even glue in another flat piece of hardboard or plywood for a raised-panel look. i like to use flat panel-moldings to add picture frames. when its all painted this adds a bit of trompe-l'oel effect to make the surface look deeper than it is. paint with one coat of primer, sand lightly to cut down the grain, then top coat. i like to use benjamin moore decorator's white in semi gloss for all my cabinetry and trim.
