This turned out amazing. I love the paint color by the way. I want to do 1x2 boards all the way across my peninsula and I'm looking for other ideas and that's how I landed on your video. Awesome job guys
It looks so good! It always turns into a bigger project than you thought. I want to do this to my plain island, I'm terrible at measuring boards and my husband it worst than I am :-(
Thanks Cyn! You should totally do it! it's once you decide what size you want, you the squares will be all the same across the one side. You can create a template for the top/bottom & sides to make sure they are all cut to the same length. I bet it will look great!
Hi Carrie! The baseboards are 4.5 inches tall and the trim is 2 1/4 inches wide. I go into more detail on my blog and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. www.ourhowtohome.com/2021/08/05/how-to-add-kitchen-island-trim-molding-and-instantly-update-your-kitchen/
Hi Edward - As a rule of thumb we do double the width of the surface were nailing into. so in our case we did 1.5 inch finishing nails. Between the molding, the finished cabinet panel and the cabinet itself, it did no go through to the inside at all. We didn't use glue as I was constantly adjusting the molding to make sure it was level as I went down each piece. Glue would have made that a whole lot messier and in the grand scheme of things probably wouldn't have made it any easier.
Beautiful!!👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
plan to do something like this on my kitchen island,... pretty simple, love the details and looking good... :)
You definitely should! It's not that difficult and makes such a huge impact!

Thanks! It’s a great alternative when you can’t do traditional board and batten. I hope it helped!

WOW! This looks amazing. Thank you for the detailed steps. I would love to try this in my kitchen.
Thank you so much! You should definitely add it to your kitchen and let me know if you do!
Turned out great!
Thank you!
What angles did you cut at? I am trying this project this weekend.
They were cut at a 45 degree angle. This gives you perfect 90 squares.
Looks awesome!
Thanks Nora!
Helloo, what is the color that you used for painting the cabinets, please?
Hi Zunay - I'm working on getting you this info! It's from the manufacturer, but II got it color matched. Working on a post for you now!
Hi Zunay - here are all the kitchen details! www.ourhowtohome.com/2022/01/20/get-the-room-details-links-the-kitchen/
you should be pivoting the miter saw on its axis opposed to leaning it over to cut 45s, you're also limiting your viewing angle on the cut by doing so
That's awesome what's the size of the trim

And base board
If you nail the frame how long the nail you used, how about using glue. I just want to prevent to get to through the cabinet under kitchen island
