Transition from cabinets to wall?
Comments (14)Thanks for the info Palimpsest. I hadn't thought about it, but you're probably right that toes would be safe (the fridge sticks out a bit, and we don't kick that ;-). I found some photos of the kitchen that might help. Some are during the remodel, so many details are not complete. None of the quarter round or baseboard is in place in these pics. Just a little more info. The stained quarter round perfectly matches the floor and is a very close match to the cabinets (ignore the stained quarter round next to the brick chimney in the old pictures below, it has been replaced). The dining and living rooms that you see with carpet will soon be floored with the same laminate. Those rooms have white baseboards and I will be using white quarter round. Here is the bar wall taken from the dining room opening. Here is an older picture of the bar area, taken standing beside the refrigerator (the bar wall wasn't complete yet and the baseboards aren't in, but everywhere the wall is green now has white baseboard and quarter round. Here is the front side of the peninsula; you can just see the end where the quarter round is needed to hide the flooring gap. If I ran white baseboard and quarter round along the back part of it, might it look disjointed?...See MoreWay to transition from one paint color to another?
Comments (17)Ahah! now I see..thank you! Here's what I would do (and have done before)... Make a frame out of a matching piece of jamb molding (the trim around the doors) that completely fills the space above the kitchen door, and put a mirror in it. That will give you the architectural effect of a transom over the door, and provide a clear "DMZ" between the entry color and the LR wall. It will look intentional and more graceful than just a line. It would be even more effective to do the same thing over the other two doors in the entry space as well. Then you also open up the space visually, and throw more light around. I think it would look terrific, for a minimum of effort and money....See Moretransitioning paint color - one long wall
Comments (6)Someone here once posted a great way to transition wall colors on a long common wall. She did it at a doorway. Above the door was where the color changed and she hung a wide, framed piece of artwork over the actual change line. It looked wonderful. I wish I could recall who the person was....See MoreHelp pick paint colors for this Tuscan style home
Comments (2)The interior really doesn't speak Tuscan to me. It can go any direction you like. If you still want to lean into the Tuscan feeling try a creamy white, greige or the below: Light olive green Creamy sunkist yellow I would leave the window treatments and lighting in place for a year. Get to know the house and how your furniture fits in there before doing more than changing paint color....See MoreRelated Professionals
