crown


I've always known things just look better wearing a crown. I don't leave home without mine. We finally got the crown installed in the kitchen and wow does it make a statement. The cove lighting and under cabinet lighting don't hurt either. We have rope lighting LEDs in the cove and xenon spot lights under the cabinet. We also have digital dimming switches that have two switches in one gang plate. These were extra special not carried at either Lowe's or the Dep...but they were PRIME from the Zon. There is still some trim and putty work, but set one is complete.
We've learned alot in this project so far and the second set of cabinets is currently under construction. Some of the lessons learned:
1. Shoot straight for crown on cabinets (angle on ceiling)
2. Don't cut an electrical box out with a saber saw (you get to re-wire the entire circuit as a bonus project)
3. Light bulbs can give off a different color (change the bulb not the fixture...)
4. Fish tape is your friend
