Dress up Corners With Handmade Plinth Blocks

Corner molding never looked clean to me, so I made 50+ of these to dress up my room's inside and outside corners! Similar off the rack products sol for $5.00 each, I made 50 of them for less than $9.00


Here is what they look like installed, prior to being caulked & painted. As you can see I made inside & outside corners
