Crown Moulding/Trim Dilemma!!!
Comments (3)You might want to cross post this on the kitchen forum also and run it by the decorating one as well. Personally I would make all the trim and built ins white, but that is just my taste. I'm sure you'll get a mixture of opinions. I'm not sure what type of paint your painter is referring to when he says laquer. Does he mean apply a poly over the paint? Normally semi gloss or hi gloss are used to paint trims. You can use either latex or oil. The oil is said to turn yellow as it ages. I personally use BM semi gloss latex white on all my trim and moldings. It's a nice satin finish that is very washable. Also keep in mind a hi gloss paint will show any dings or imperfections in the wood....See MorePlease Help - Recessed lighting too close to crown molding
Comments (17)From those pictures, it looks like you have some really intereting corners in your kitchen. Sometimes you just have to stand back and let go of how you think it should be and ask yourself, "Do I think that looks good?" Really, only your opinion matters. But since you asked us... Usually the trim corners do align with the cabinet corners. With your tricky angles though, I think the first three shown above look fine. The last one looks off to me only because it's different than the others, not because it itself looks wrong. But that's just my opinion....See MoreHelp me with my crown molding dilemma please
Comments (6)Thank you Fori and Lynn2006 for your input, I really appreciate your help.

Anyone else want to give me their opinion?...See MoreHelp! I have a kitchen cabinet/molding paint color dilemma
