Skirting and walls, with what shall I fill it?

[attractivebrunette]

Am fitting skirting but have decided not to paint it white. Yuck! Am going to varnish and stain the wood to keep everything au naturel.

So, how can I cover the gaps tween skirting and the walls? If I painted them white I assume I could use white caulk as it wouldn't show up as it would blend into the white of the skirting. The same goes for the skiting joins at right angles I assume. Cover the imperfections with white paint and caulk.

So what should I do if I'm not painting them? Can I still use caulk? Will it still look nice? Is it much harder to get a decent finish? Any pictures you can show me would be great.

We'd like some 'au naturel' pictures of an attractive brunette please.

You can get some wood coloured caulk from Screwfix that should do the job ok.
