6. Crown molding
A. Bonnie from Virginia
a. Hi talented ladies. I love everything you two do and so excited about your podcast. Sorry this is in email form, but I have bronchitis and laryngitis so I have no voice….and I really would love your opinion. My home was built in the 80s. I have beautiful triple crown molding in all of my rooms on the first floor. My dilemma is in my kitchen. I want to paint my trim white and molding white. However, my cabinets will not be painted and the molding goes all around the top of my cabinets. Do I paint the molding white or stop at the cabinets and leave the molding stained. HELP!!! Thank you!

A. Paula From Guatemala City
