Love the floors, still don't like the paint. Crown moulding would be nice. OffWithTheirHeads Nov 2012 #1

We won't be able to do crown moulding because of the features of our house Horse with no Name Nov 2012 #4

Unfortunately the color is close to the cabinets Warpy Nov 2012 #28

In our house, the kitchen is separated from the walls Horse with no Name Nov 2012 #29

Yes. They will be stained...although I won't be the one doing it,lol Horse with no Name Nov 2012 #21

With fifteen feet high ceilings, this should give a very dramatic effect. Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2012 #22
