Shoe molding in some rooms, not others?

29 days ago

We finally finished installing LVP throughout the middle (foyer, living room, eat-in kitchen) and lower (den, five steps down from the kitchen, small hall, bathroom, laundry room, and enclosed garage) levels of the house . We did the foyer and living room without removing the baseboards so we have to use shoe molding in those areas to cover the gaps. The kitchen had all new sheetrock so it didn't have baseboards when the flooring was being laid either. I wish we didn't but we didn't think of it at the time and it's too late now. We had to level the floors in the lower area so the baseboards had to be removed and they don't need shoe molding. Neither does the kitchen, which really only has one wall that isn't covered in cabinets but its visible from the foyer. Would it be strange to leave the areas that we can without it? The only two areas that HAVE to have it are the foyer and living room, which are seperated from the kitchen by a framed but open doorway.
