I would either take the crown off the bookcase or paint it to match the rest of the crown molding. If you take it off, you may have an akward small sapce between the bookcase and ceiling.
I have 4 of these towers in my small office, seems I should get some crown stained the same as bookcase? or can't they notch out the crown so it looks like crown came first then the book case? or should I just put crown around top of bookcase and lose the top trim of the book case? The stained bookcase goes to the ceiling beneath the top trim piece.
I didn't realize it wasn't crown molding. If you really hate it, I would start by taking it off and seeing how it looks without it. If you still hate it, then I would add crown to it to match what's in the room, but matching the stain might be difficult.
We have always used the same crown as the room, doing so now in a new house in the kitchen where the cabinets go to the ceiling- had the crown painted to match the cabinets and it is a seamless transition.
When you say the crown will be painted ceiling color, may I ask why? Ceiling is ceiling, painted in a flat finish. Molding is woodwork and painted in a semi-gloss finish.
You have not mentioned paint colors. I will suggest BM white dove: for the ceiling in flat and in semi-gloss for the woodwork, including the crown on the piece.
ok, thanks so much for your help. seems like consensus is to take off cap on book case and finish bookcase with same crown as the rest of the room. any other ideas? desk under the sheet is also the dark stain.
Right, they used baseboard that was to go on kitchen island! before I arrived, that's why I know there is a better solution! The 2 inch square cap that matches seemed too small though so I just let them go ahead....ugh
