Help me with my crown molding dilemma please
Comments (6)Thank you Fori and Lynn2006 for your input, I really appreciate your help. My husband wants to just do molding on the cabinets, and one minute I like the idea and the next minute I'm scared the kitchen will look bare and unfinished. Anyone else want to give me their opinion?...See MorePlease help with kitchen cabinet crown molding dilemma
Comments (14)Related to this, what is the thinnest trim/molding a top of kitchen cabinets you can get away with? We have 8FT ceilings and 42 inch cabinets and my contractor wants no trim but my designer HATES the idea and feels we need to finish it off. The cabinets are white shaker style and our home is not modern, but contemporary leaning toward the traditional side. Its an old house being renovated so has elements of both the 1940s and 2000s. ANY suggestions would be awesome! Of course this issue is coming up at the 11th hour for some reason!...See Morecabinet crown molding or house crown molding?
Comments (11)ffjunk, of course it's a personal choice, but thought I should add, we have a situation similar to yours, with a pass-through window between painted cabinets, as well as a pocket door between a cabinet and a cabinet pantry. Our cabinet crown molding, and our whole house crown molding are the same heights, but different cuts, so the choice was easier for us - keep the same crown molding throughout the kitchen, though it is open concept. We are using stop blocks at the pocket door crown as the pantry is a stained along with the crown molding above it, and the cabinet adjacent is painted, along with the crown above that. The trim around the door will be painted the same as the cabinet/cabinet crown molding. Our ceilings are 9'. We are also using a stop block where the whole house crown meets the kitchen cabinetry crown - it would be very difficult to both cope and scribe the crowns to match and we prefer the stop blocks. I don't have photos as we are still in the midst of remodeling and our cabinet maker has yet to bring and install the stop blocks....See Moredesign dilemma: crown molding
Comments (5)Sorry, I did forget that detail. Ceiling height is 9 feet. Style of house is traditional. The room has one large window which has Hunter Douglas plantation style shutters and frame. Baseboard is approximately 4 inches and ornate....See MoreMarisa Silveira
