Building shelves

 
I am decidedly unhandy, so I asked my husband to help me out with my fabric storage problem. For the faithful reader you might remember me complaining about piles and piles of messiness.Thankfully he said yes, so the last couple of weeks he has been down in the cold and dusty kelder ( poor thing ) building some shelves. Considering he never make anything except the times I am asking him, I am very happy about the result ! Before sanding and painting I want to add something that might help an ordinary shelf look more pretty, a crown molding.

A: Attach the crown molding perfectly against the top plate ? B: Or a few millimeter above the edge ?

Personally I think It looks prettier to attach the molding a few millimeter above the edge of the top plate, but maybe I have stared myself blind. I think I need your help, what do you think looks more beautiful ? Or is it a right or wrong way to do it ?? I would be happy to hear your opinion !

A few millimetres above looks the best ~

Hej finaste Aina,

Vilken fin och gedigen hylla din goa man bygger åt dig!
Extra vackert med krönlisten ♥ och jag tycker som du, att den skall ligga några millimeter utanför :)

Det skall bli spännande att se den när den är klar, och jag är säker på att dina tyger och material kommer att passa perfekt i den.

Stor kram vännen!
Mia

Oh you lucky girl Aina!!
I have been wanting to make some shelves for books, but unfortunately my hubby is the one who is not very handy, {but I adore him anyway:).} I'm usually the one who builds and put things together, so I might try to do it myself after the holidays.
These are beautiful and I love the molding!
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Melinda

Have a good week - Ivan

Hej Aina,
jag tycker utan tvekan B, där ser inte listen tung ut och avståndet kortas genom "trappan".
Tror du jag är nyfiken vad det ska bli?! Om!

Nu ser jag att jag missat flera inlägg, förstår inte det... jag brukar hålla koll på dina inlägg.

Kramar
Cia
