You can attack it from a couple of different angles... If the crown is all the same, then you can consider it all "room crown", and you can then paint it all creamy white. I have seen instances where the crown is all the same and the color simply transitions to blue at the soffit-to-cabinet crown miters. Your choice. I prefer to make the two crowns different though, making the cabinet crown smaller than the room crown. With the cabinet crown minor to the more major room crown, cope the cabinet crown to butt into the room crown. Paint the room crown white and the cabinet crown blue. Much depends on the size and styles of the crowns, etc, how they meet up, how they relate, etc. But it really boils down to your personal preference. The good news? It's only paint. Easy to change if you decide to change your mind.

I struggled with how to run the crown on the wall with my rangehood between two windows. On this thread where I was asking for help, you can see a few different pics of crown and hood treatment. Maybe one of these pics will help. Here's what I ended up doing. No crown. I will, when I pick tile, run it eurosplash style on the whole hood wall. Here is a link that might be useful: Pics of hood-crown treatment

Thank you all for your input. Jim, the first thing you should know is that Wood-Mode has told me that they do not stand behind how good or how bad their dealers or dealer/builders are. They consider the cabinet designer/dealer to be their customer, not the homeowner. I didn't realize that Wood-Mode and Brookhaven dealers are completely independent from the Wood-Mode corporation and not really endorsed by Wood-Mode. I had thought we'd have better project continuity using a design/build firm. That said, other cabinet manufacturers may be no different. I don't have experience with other cabinet brands. If I were shopping for cabinets again, I would ask about the relationship of the cabinet shop with the manufacturer. I'd want to talk to the manufacturer to see if they even accept phone calls from homeowners with questions about the products. Wood-Mode corporation doesn't want to talk to homeowners about its Brookhaven and Wood-Mode cabinetry. I think it would be very useful for anyone shopping for a design/build company to look at the five most recent projects that the company has done using the brand of cabinets that you are considering. Five kitchens would be my minimum. I would think even the smallest firm should be able to show you five completed projects. They should be recent projects so you can see the quality of work for the current crews they are using. A list of references with completed projects with scores of homeowners to contact would also be reassuring. It would even be great to see projects that are under construction. Ask about how problems are handled. When you visit those job sites or completed kitchens, talk with the homeowner, look not only at design but also at miters, attachments, details, color matching. Ask if there were any "surprises." Open cabinets and look at how the cabinets are attached (or not!). Look at how the cabinets are affixed to the wall. Are screw holes random and ugly? Is as much care taken with cabinet interiors as with exteriors? Familiarize yourself with building codes. For example, are the kitchen counter outlets done with 15 or 20 amp circuitry? If the design/build firm is also selling you appliances, are they actually authorized dealers and installers, or are they middle-men who really shouldn't be doing the installations? Don't accept, "We've installed Sub-Zeros before" as a substitute for credentials. I think a warning sign is when a company says, "We don't recommend you pull permits because. . . " Permits are a homeowner's minimum protection for at least the safety aspects of the project. Our building inspector volunteered this "I wish we inspectors could write up aesthetic issues. I'd give your contractor pages of corrections to do." I have also noticed that several random Wood-Mode design and build firms that I checked had unfavorable complaints listed with the Better Business Bureau. Some Wood-Mode dealers have histories with no complaints. That is no guarantee that all is well, but it is better than a history of unhappy customers with unresolved complaints. Not all unhappy customers will complain to the Better Business Bureau, but some will. The Better Business Bureau tells you about complaints from the past three years and gives some clues as to whether or not the customer was ultimately pleased or not with the project after filing a complaint. Additionally, make sure you have all details about cabinet interiors and exteriors in writing for every cabinet. One last thing, look at the edge moldings for boxes in cabinets. How well do they match your finish? Is a good match important to you?

Creative Crown WOW! I just received that I had a comment from Houzz. It is incredible the fire storm that this page has started. I just want everyone to know that we have no ill feeling against anyone. Everyone is entitled to their say. Just tell the truth. Have you purchased our product before? So should you comment? I just want to say that we due care about everyone if you have bought from us or not. I know some of the people that have made a comment on this blog. They have purchased from us before and I thank you for their support. This all started with a bash from a customer. They were having some problems installing our moldings. They did not make any attempt to contact us for help. They could have called our toll free number or emailed us and we would have more than happy to have helped them. We would have spent as much time as they needed to assisted them. We have about 30 youtube videos about our product on anything you could ask about. I always take the time to call a company and try to get help if I have a problem with a product. We are a family own business and everyone's business is appreciated. We have the only "molded foam crown molding in America" It is a good product that is easy to install and is a high quality. It is Patent Pending. We did not mean to insult anyone with our earlier post. I hope this puts an end to all of the bickering and we use Houzz for what it was designed for. It is a great website and I enjoy surfing around on it. I love it for home ideas. Thank you so much Houzz. Thank you! God Bless! Owner of Creative Crown 855 633 2125
