Do you think this is the right way to end the baseboard against the 45-degree tile wall, or do you have a different idea for how to do it?
I think you could have done a neater job cutting the baseboards

Miter boxes in stores are rarely perfectly set at 45 degrees, so most carpenters end up having to make adjustments when working with brick or other materials. I personally don’t like 45 degree walls – they’re usually a way to cut costs by sharing a plumbing wall between units, but they can be a nightmare to properly firestop. It’s hard to rely on just fiberglass tape to hold up the firestop, especially when subcontractors are cutting corners due to internal operating costs. Your boss might not be willing to provide a $7 aluminum drywall patch for a job they bid at less than $5.
That’s what I would do in that situation.
Seems good to me.
Just make sure to caulk it evenly, and you should be all set
You know, you might consider using a plynth block instead, it’s probably the best option
It looks amazing, unless you’re planning on making a TikTok with a million unnecessary cuts.
If you have tile on both the floor and walls, consider using tile as the trim instead of wood. You can also add a metal finish on top, depending on your personal preference.
