srg15, if you would like crown molding in the rest of your kitchen but don't want to pay the high cost charged by the cabinet company, here's an alternative. Check on the cost of having a local shop custom make a crown that will match your cabinet crown molding. For us, there was a setup charge of about $150 for the lumber company to cut a blade that matched our cabinet crown molding, then there was the cost of cutting the matching crown molding and the cost of the lumber. Ours was to be painted so we did a paint grade wood. It looks great, perfectly matches the cabinet crown molding and its total cost was 25% of the cost of crown molding supplied by our cabinet company.

Thank you for commenting. I posted a picture twice now...doesn't seem to be saved. I must be doing something wrong. I will try again.

There is a reason that that cabinet seller is no longer with the company. She messed up quite a bit. And I mean a LOT. That design is not acceptable. And you are a ways from needing to be concerned about crown. You need to invite the company owner to come to the job site and fix more than just the crown molding. Simply ask him, "Is this a kitchen that you could easily cook in?". If he says yes, he is lying. If he is honest and says no, ask him what he is going to do to make it right.

PPG's Delicate White. Can get a decent color match from BenM and SW. Also White Picket fence from Dunn Edwards; this one looks better with 3 coats but the color is worth it IMO.
