Matchy-matchy, or white crown and hickory trim?
Comments (16)I'm loving all the responses. Patti43 - The room will be a soft sagey green. It's called "Key Lime Pie." We used it in our living room on base and loved it. The floors are 60+ year old white oak. The room is small, about 11' 9" by 22". It's cramped, and basically a TV watching area by the kitchen. The LR is broken up by the walkway from the front door to the kitchen with an awkward 30" wide strip on the south wall. It's too small for furniture; it's too separated from the seating areas. We've decided to fill it with built-ins. It's cramped, and basically a TV watching area by the kitchen. The east wall is broken up with a large window and the front door, the south wall has an off center window, on the west wall there's a wide opening into the kitchen and an open doorway at the other end into the hallway. The south wall is a bit over 11' wide. From left to right it will have a closet, about 4' wide, a storage window seat under the window (with a small bistro table and two chairs) and two 18" cabinets on either side of the window from the window seat to the ceiling. I don't have a useable drawing or photo, but this is a floor plan of the house. You can see some of the LR's issues. The bathroom has a new layout now....See Morepull together my master bedroom / bath - no matchy-matchy

Comments (3)I think it will all work together, the darker floors and the lighter grey counters have enough contrast that I think they will look good together. Can’t go wrong with shaker white cabinets...always a classic. :-)...See MoreLiving Room Too Matchy-Matchy? How To Add Color?
Comments (58)I think part of what make the shelves feel light and not like built-ins is that they have no side and they extend past the cabinets below them and over the mantle. not sure there's much that can be done about the latter, but to address the former, something anchoring them to the wall could help. Could be literally something anchoring them, like a decorative bracket, or something that gives a vertical feel that gives a feeling of connection with the cabinets below, like the trailing plants that some have mocked up. You could also try something like stacking books on their sides or adding a book end to normally stacked books....See Moreilikefriday
