Should we paint these kitchen crowns to match the trim?
Comments (6)Just to close out this thread for future reference - painted the crown white in all areas where it was not over the cabinets, and it looks a LOT better. Should have been done that way from the start. Left the crown over the cabinets (which is the same design, just different color) as white chocolate, which also looks right. The only tricky part in this was painting the crown where the two colors meet. I did a decent but not perfect job, I will probably go back over it with a fine paintbrush to get a perfect line....See MoreLarge fur down/soffit kitchen painting issue & color trim yes or no?
Comments (3)I would paint the soffit and the trim the wall color .Are you painting those cabinets yourself? I do not think they are worth having painterd professionaly so they need to be very well prepped which will incluse stripping and sanding they are at an age where the grease from the kitchen will have impregnated the finish , it will be a huge job but will certainly be an improvement until you can afford a redo. I think a color fot them might be better than white like a pale green maybe....See MoreDark trim vs. White. Updating home without painting ALL TRIM white??
Comments (20)* Also when looking at the hallway ^... that photo of the "door" to the right is actually an elevator door...(Its faux painted...done before we moved here.) That is also the dilemma... if husband paints trim white... there is that door and I do NOT want to paint it white. so can the trim around the door be painted?...See MoreHelp, did we do the right thing with our porch painting
Comments (16)It looks good. I do like the decorative pieces darker, if you are leaving it darker. I actually liked your first picture with the white on it, the best. The stained garage doors, dont go well with the brown paint, but, they looked ok, when it was all white railings. I also agree with the others about an arbor over the garage doors, but, I am not sure how that will look now either with all the brown on the railings. I would want the arbor white, and it would have tied everything together, with the white railings. You have a beautiful house. I would love to have your porch....See MoreSybil Benson
