Trim on half wall with post?

8 years ago

We finally got most of the trim up around our opening in to the kitchen, but now I can’t decide how to finish out the trim on the bottom part of the post. I’ve seen a lot of pictures where they install some type of paneling look underneath the opening, but I don’t know how that would look in my house since we won’t have paneling anywhere else. For the part of the post in the wall, Do we extend trim the width of the top part of the post all the way to the floor, or just use the same trim as on the other side of doorway?

No beadboard for sure just repeat the trim around the door arond the cabinet on the 1/2/ wall just wondering why you did not leave that counter height and you need a counter depth fridge in that space.

Thanks for the feedback.

We made the edge of the counter higher because that is the view when you walk in the front door and I wanted to hide the dirty dishes in the sink. :)

Id love to get a counter depth fridge. Someday when this one dies, we will do that but I have a hard time justifying the expense when there’s nothing wrong with what we have
