Stair Skirtboard

Jon is okay with installing a skirtboard, now that I have figured out how.  I realized that skirtboards are pretty intricate: how to create a template, how to incorporate with baseboards nearby, what angle to cut boards for the transitions to the baseboards . . .  My biggest problem is matching a stair skirt with the original baseboards in the home:


So remodelaholic had a great post about their stairs that solved my problem--baseboard installed at a diagonal with triangle pieces at each stair:

Can you see how this could work?


Our stairs are so classic:


I think that giving them a skirt will be worthwhile:


We get carpet in the basement any day now!!
