The winds they are a shifting from hard-angled modern to traditional interiors, and for us, traditional necessitates moulding. The National Trust for Historic Preservation partnered with Lowe's to replicate six types of moulding from historic homes (most of which are from the Mid-Atlantic), and we love the results.
• 1 Federal era, Woodlawn in Alexandria, Virginia
• 2 Country estate, Chesterwood in Stockbridge, Massachusetts
• 3 Classic presidential residence, Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, DC
• 4 Southern plantation, Shadows-On-The-Teche in New Iberia, Louisiana
• 5 Italianate mansion, Villa Finale in San Antonia, Texas
• 6 Historic American plantation, Belle Grove in Middletown, Virginia
I'm lucky enough to find this moulding by working for the Trust's magazine, but if you want to see the moulding yourself, check out The National Trust for information on which Lowe's stores sell the moulding.

Yeah! I love molding and bought an old house in part, due to it's great moldings. Downside, I need to get it custom milled because it's not stock. And that's expensive!
@mntwmyn --
If you have enough, why not consolidate the original mouldings in certain rooms of the house - then fill in the other rooms w/ off the shelf mouldings like these?
I think bepsf has a good idea too. It's difficult to notice if the moulding patterns change from room to room. For some odd reason, the previous owners of our house decided to use several kinds of crown moulding. Thankfully they're not extremely different. But no one can tell the difference unless I point it out and then they have to stare at them a long time.
I think that's a really cool idea. I'm glad Lowes worked with the Trust for this!
