In this new, expanded edition of Jay Silber's ground-breaking first book, The New Decorating with Architectural Trimwork focuses on the aesthetic uses of architectural trimwork. There are plenty of books that tell the reader how to install trim around windows and doors, but few that also explain how architectural trim can enhance a room's aesthetic appeal. Silber shows readers even more ideas on how to choose and use a wide variety of moldings, trim, and design concepts to transform the all-too-common sterile, open floor plan into a warm, inviting, richly textured home. This new edition of Trimwork provides ideas for how to decorate homes with trim and wall panels so that walls, passageways, and stairways can radiate the warmth, character, and beauty of the well-trimmed homes of eras gone by.

    5.0 out of 5 stars As a custom carpenter, this is my most used book
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I am a custom carpenter in the Metro Detroit area, and have a huge library of carpentry and trimwork books that I use for discovering my clients' style and generating ideas for their projects. Of all the books in my library, this is the one I use the most. The cover is getting creased pretty bad, so it is about time to order a new copy or two. This books is one of two that makes the trip to every single one of my new customer meetings. For ideas and photographs, I would give it 7 stars if possible. For the instructions portions, I would probably give it 3 - 4 stars, as they are geared much more to the do it yourselfer, and therefor use homeowner tools, and techniques, some of which I would not recommend. In fact, some of the instructional details are missing very important details that would be hard for a homeowner, that does not do this as a trade, to figure out. I also own the previous edition that has less material. When this edition came out, I grabbed it right away and am very pleased with the added content. My wish for any future editions that may be on the way would be for them to drop the chapters on tools, etc., and just add more design content / photos. I know that I am biased on this topic, but I really wish publishers and retailers would quit pushing the do it yourself concept for many projects, particularly those involving carpentry because the average homeowner really is not up to the task, which results in shoddy work and problems down the line for future homeowners and their contractors. Do what you are good at and get paid for it, then pay a professional to do the rest.

    Love this book. I installed picture frame moulding in my dining room as well as base board moulding in my living and dining rooms. Prior to this I had little experience with installing trim work. This book gives easy to follow instructions and tips. A great book for beginners interested in installing beautiful, quality trim work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to the Trim Carpenter's Library
    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    The older version of this book was good. This version is much better. The "Elements of Design" chapter is expanded, as is the chapter on crown molding. The most comprehensive chapter for me was Chapter 10: Wainscoting, Pillars and Pilasters. The detail provided on the methods for routing flutes was very helpful.

    If you do trim, this is the third book to buy right after "Trim Carpentry Techniques" by Craig Savage, and "Finish Carpentry: Efficient Techniques for Custom Interiors" by Gary Katz.

    I'm disappointed. I'm a carpenter with about 5 years experience and I bought this hoping to learn more about wainscoting, pilasters and more intricate trim work. There is a chapter covering those things but it was pretty vague and uninteresting. I didn't learn much from it. It says it's from 2005 but it felt very dated more like late nineties. The trim examples were mostly ugly in my opinion. Dont waste your money YouTube has far better information it's more entertaining and free. Updated to 3 stars. There's some good info

    I'm a huge DIY. Therefore please take into account that I'm not a professional contractor that knows all of the ins and outs of trim work. However, I do have more than basic knowledge of interior design and this book definitely meets all expectations. If you are working on updating a home or adding a bit of flair....this is the book for you. Lots of pictures, examples, and easy to follow format.
