Baseboards, casings, window trim, built-in details and custom millwork that tie the new kitchen to the rest of the house.
Trim is how a new kitchen meets the old house. Baseboards, door and window casings, chair rails and built-in details can make a remodel look as if it grew with the home or make it look pasted on. Older Nashville houses often have distinctive millwork, and matching or complementing it takes care. In newer houses, trim can add the character that builder-grade finishes lack. Either way, the details hold the whole kitchen together.
We study the existing trim and either match it or design a complementary style, then cut, fit and install each piece with tight joints and consistent reveals. Window and door casings are reworked after new openings or flooring, baseboards follow cabinet runs and special details such as box beams, paneled walls and built-in banquettes are built as needed. We fill, caulk and prepare everything for paint so the work disappears into a clean finish. We also pay attention to the small decisions that homeowners rarely notice until they are wrong: the height of a baseboard against a tile floor, the width of a window casing beside new cabinets, how crown meets a vaulted wall. Settling those details on paper before cutting saves time and keeps the finished kitchen looking calm and well proportioned.
