Crown Moulding/Base Boards As Door/Window Casing?
I'm doing some upgrading to my bathroom. Its a unit in a 1920s Chicago building and the OG door casing needs to get replaced (the previous owner cut into one side to get into the wall).
My problem: The casing is like 4.25in wide, which is double the width of standard casing. Casing that wide is like $35/piece vs $10/piece for 2.5in
My question: If I found some crown moulding/base boards that were the appropriate width, is there anything wrong/bad with using that as door casing? It's so much cheaper
