Default Moulding/Trim Question

On 4/3/2011 9:50 PM Kate spake thus:

I have white trim throughout my home. My kitchen cabinets are
called Opal Oak which is a pinkish white color. I will be replacing
them with a medium cinnamon-oak colored cabinet.

I am at a loss as to whether I should keep the trim white, or just make
it a medium oak color in the kitchen so it matches the bottoms of the
cabinets.

In a way, I think the trim (in the kitchen) will look odd being a medium
oak color because my family room is part of the kitchen area and it will
has white trim now.

Would white trim look bad if my kitchen cabinets are a medium oak color?

Any feedback if greatly appreciated.


Are you really sure you want to base your decision on answers from folks
on an online forum, sight unseen? First of all, it's a pretty subjective
choice, one you'll ultimately have to make yourself. And it's pretty
hard to "see" Opal Oak, "medium cinnamon-oak colored" or any other color
(especially a subtle shade) in a text-based forum.

I'm just sayin' ...

(I do sympathize with you: as a handyman, I'm often asked such questions
("What do you think would look better?"), which I usually try to duck,
explaining that I'm not the one who's gonna have to live with the choice.)
