(We had new flooring going down and I was replacing our boards anyway.) You can rest them on top but I've been using a piece at the bottom to save myself a long cut. (Measurements don't always end up perfect down at the bottom of the wall.) I hope that helps!Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8300404661575488422016-07-25T13:37:09.210-04:002016-07-25T13:37:09.210-04:00Thank you!

Measure top to bottom and calculate how big you want them (allow extra for space in between).

Did you remove the baseboards and take it all the way down and put them on top of the luan, or just to the top of the baseboards? I wasn't sure if there would be a big overhang (i.e. how thick the luan is) when it meets the top of the baseboards?
