Brent Hull explores moldings as both functional elements and quiet storytellers of architectural tradition. Tracing their evolution from classical profiles to modern interpretations, the episode explains how proportion, scale, and placement influence the way a house feels and ages over time. Brent contrasts historic molding traditions with contemporary trim choices, showing where modern shortcuts often fall short. Through examples like a Georgian Revival home, he illustrates how thoughtful trim carpentry—paired with durable detailing methods such as proper caulking—can preserve architectural intent while meeting modern performance needs. The result is a deeper understanding of how trim brings cohesion, longevity, and meaning to a well-built home.
