We are in the process of updating and modernizing our kitchen new countertops/backsplash, wall paint, and cabinet paint and hardware. The final vision is very similar to this (from https://www.lemonthistle.com/modern-olive-green-kitchen-before-after/):

Yes, I know that our cabinets won't look quite as slick given our door style and the fact that they'll be painted, but they're in great shape and we love the layout, so we're keeping them. The cabinets will be painted by a professional refinisher, not me.

My current question is what to do about the trim that is currently around our cabinets.

My current thinking is:

1) DEFINITELY OBVIOUSLY remove the little decorative swirly things.

2) Maybe remove that entire horizontal piece of wood above the window, including the trim that attaches to the top of it, so the white wall/ceiling surfaces are continuous.

3) Keep the rest of the trim. I know it doesn't scream "modern," but it's in good shape and has never bothered me unless I start to overthink it in the context of this remodel. Also, at the top of the cabinets, I think it makes sense to bridge the cabinet depth to the overhang/wall depth. If it were removed at the top, I'm thinking the wall might look funny sticking out over the cabinets so much. And if we keep it at the top, I don't see an overwhelming reason to remove it from the sides.

4) Any trim that we DO keep will be painted to match the cabinets.

Opinions? Are there any other factors I might not have considered?

(Tiny detail in case anyone else is wondering about it... I do realize that if we do #2 and not #3, we'll be short a couple of centimeters of trim at the top/front of those cabinets next to the sink. But I'm guessing we could repurpose the trim cut from the top there to connect to it, and hopefully after painting it, no one would notice that seam.)

Thanks!
