We've decided to install picture rail molding!
I get so inspired by the pictures shared in this sub reddit.

So, I was wondering: can I see pictures of your's if it's in your home?

Please drop them in the chat!

More context:
Our house was built in 1900.

I'm mainly curious about:
- the common height of placement on the wall.
- how does your's align with window trim? Or tall doors with transom windows.
- is it above the window? or does it align with the crosshead strip of door frames and windows?

This sub has helped me make decisions that feel right for our renovation project. ❤️ So before I install this, I wanted to turn to you all. Please share your knowledge 🙏

I painted my ceiling last night. Previously I'd painted the walls. but when I took the painters tape off the walls, the wall paint peeled off in huge patches. Not just the layer I'd just painted, but the underlayer that was the previous color, too.

Now there's a plaster texture, gaps between the paint layers, ridges - it's tragically uneven! I'm afraid if I paint over it, you'll be able to see all these ridges, it won't be a smooth paint coat. Sanding it just peels more paint off, and roughs up the plaster underneath.

I have no idea how to smooth this all out, or how to prevent the paint from coming off even more.

Why did this happen? or better yet, how can I fix this?
