While you are at this why not move cabinets to ceiling and as for color IMO the same as your trim makes sense especially in a smaller space.

Hi I would love to move the crown molding to the ceiling, but I have this issue with vaulted ceilings and also a beam on the other side. I think I have chosen white dove for the cabinets...the BM sales rep said that is closest to the Dunn Edwards swiss coffee which is our current trim color...but I am planning on painting the interior so the trim will match the cabinets.

Check out BM Simply White for the cabs and trim.

I just brought home a sample. I have to paint the board and put it up.

Also...The ceilings in the kitchen are 10 feet high. The distance from counter to cabinet is 18 inches.

I am having crown molding added, I am just not going all the way to the ceiling. I would like to, but not sure if it would look odd because of the small area of cabinet that goes past the ceiling. And there is the beam over the refrigerator to deal with.

Yes I think it would look strange. You could drop the soffet over the cabs or raise the cabs and get a bigger cab over the stove.

For years I have also noticed that the cabinet over the stove is not level...a little under a 1/4 inch slope. I am going to see if my cabinet painter...he also builds cabinets...can take it out and reinstall it. Do you think that is possible? We don't use it for anything except to hide the vent tubing. I should just remove it and buy a nice chimney style hood...but not sure how that would look.

Your stack is off center so it would have to be moved for a chimney hood. I think that may not be possible due to your stud spacing.

Love is strange.

I think you could get a custom hood with an insert and still use the offset stack. But $$$.

Its really pretty. You could run it right up for splash too.

Kind of modern but very clean. Can't beat solid suface backsplash for easy to clean and making the space look bigger and not so chopped up

We had the same tile on the counter and backsplash before. The backsplash was still in perfect condition...but the grout on the counter around the sink...yuck.

I am loving the new paint color! They are doing a much better job this time around. First coat is on...

Suzyq53 after many paint samples I did choose simply white. I was a little worried it might look a bit yellow...but I love it! No sign of the tinge of yellow. Just soft and pretty. So much better than the first white!

It wouldn’t look odd to me at all. A return is a normal treatment for an end run, and they always stick out, anyway.

At least pull down the soffit.

Please post an after picture when its done. Enjoy!

I think I might know what you mean...but I am not sure we have a soffit? If it is a soffit it would not really be possible to remove it. The front part of the house ceiling is vaulted and it transitions into the kitchen and back area of the house ceilings. We knocked out the ceiling on the original remodel about 20 years ago so our attic would be more usable because of our limited space and raised the ceilings in the house to 9 feet. They were 8. Our attic/loft area is 6 feet high at the center beam. We unfortunately do not have a garage...so really not much storage space and we use the attic/loft area.
