I don't have a photo of the newly installed cabinets yet but mine are a cream with glaze and yes, the cabinet maker painted all the trim to match exactly. It looks fabulous!

I matched all of the trim in my new addition to the kitchen cabinets. The molding was all hand painted, but the cabinets were shop painted so they are not 100% the same, but they are very very close.

if the trim is actually touching the cabs I suppose you'd want it to match. Otherwise it wouldn't matter as much.

I took the sample of my cabinet color to my local BM dealer and had paint made to match the color for my trim.

I have wondered about this as well. I am going to have ivory painted cabinets with a black island. I have to have a dropped structural beam with a column tied to the island and I have no idea how to deal with the trim on the beam and column.

My plan is to take a sample of the cabinet finish to a paint place and have them match the color. We have coffered ceilings, so there is lots of trim work, and I think it would look best if it all matched.

jeannie kitchen....i'd love to see your coffered ceiling...can you send any pics????

bumping this bc i have the same question... we're doing brand new construction... wondering if the white we choose for the custom kitchen cabs which will be a benjamin moore color, should match the trim throughout the house (also BM) Would love to see other's photos- we're early on here, but overwhelmed at the number of "whites!" and how v. different they look in photos/large surfaces than they do on the little chips.

I just asked this myself, I knew I had seen a thread on the issue but couldn't find it - thanks for bumping it. Advice I got was to carry the white trim fom the other adjoining room through to kitchen (which has 2 doorways) - I think it is sound in my case as their are only 4 points all at floor level where baseboard will run into the creamy white toe kick (none of those are parallel - all right angles) and our cabs and molding won't touch the ceiling. In your situation I have friends who have carried the same white from their trim throughout the house onto the cabs and tin ceiling in their kitchen and it looks very nice - if I was starting from scratch that is what I woud do.

I also had my kitchen trim color computer-matched by the painters at the paint store using a piece of extra cabinet trim.

Here is a photo showing a doorway trimmed, as well as our cedar board ceiling (painted with a translucent white-wash) and heavy beams that were painted the trim color. The color is extremely close to the "Swiss Coffee" color of my Kountry Kraft cabinets (which is NOT even close to BM's "Swiss Coffee" btw.)

Personally, I think matching the trim is the way to go with the traditional, clean lines of a painted white kitchen.

Good luck to you!

PS. The blue tape in the photo is marking areas the GC still has to deal with. We redid our entire house and had a TERRIBLE painting crew!!! They got paint on the floors, faucets, sinks, toilets, new doorknobs, etc., etc. AND they DIDN'T paint the tops of ANY doors, any tops of door trim, basically any place they had to get on a ladder to do, or any place they didn't think we'd notice. BEWARE your GC's "finishers"!!! Make sure they are experienced professionals and won't bring in a crew of day-laborers who can't speak English!

we matched our trim to our cabinets, but more to the point.. smarge, PlEASE post a pic of your mosaic backsplash! your kitchen is gorgeous!!!
