Planning to install crown molding this weekend (or actually cornices).
But I have this tricky spot in the kitchen to consider
What would you do in the corner shown in the first and second images?
In my mind, there are two options. Either notch the molding to accommodate the cover side that protrudes (just over 1cm).
Alternatively, swing around the cover side. This is a bit more fiddly, but doable.
What do you think will look best?
Then images two and three show a similar issue on the other side of the cover side, where it meets a wall. So essentially the same problem, but here it's not an external corner, and the depth difference is just a few millimeters.
Here I think you can either place the molding those millimeters out, so they align with the wall stub, and then use caulk to fill the gap.
Alternatively, miter in a very narrow piece and go external corner -> narrow piece -> internal corner.
Again, what would look best?
This is what the cornices look like. They extend 5cm out on both the wall and ceiling
Yes, not a bad idea, but now I'm not sure if it was made clear enough. But these pages are two sides of the same cover page, so there is the seam that doesn't align by a few millimeters on the left side, and the other seam with the cover page that sticks out to the right.
I'll measure when I get home to see if I have or can easily get a fitting piece to put in there. I don't have a saw, so I can't make it myself.
The plaster molding becomes silly outside the cabinet unit. One should distinguish between wall and carpentry. Let the molding end abruptly when it meets the cabinet side on the right side and when it meets the filler piece on the left side. The edges of the filler piece need to be concealed with a trim strip, but not necessarily the front and side of the cabinet.
The stucco molding just looks silly outside the cabinet unit. One should distinguish between wall and woodwork. Let the stucco molding end abruptly when it meets the cabinet side on the right side and when it meets the filler piece on the left side. The edges of the filler piece need to be concealed with a trim, but not necessarily the front and side of the cabinet.
Yes, you're probably completely right here anyway.
I have crown moldings for the kitchen woodwork, but I didn't think a transition between these and the stucco would look nice, as the wall meets the front of the cabinet on the left side.
I'll take a look at it tonight. I have a painter who's going to paint the ceiling this week, maybe I'll just let him put in a soft sealant there, or alternatively a trim then.
To the right of the cover panel is the actual kitchen area, which will be fully tiled, so there won't be any stucco there, just soft sealant.
