To dress up the cabinets we decided to add beadboard. It's fairly inexpensive and will be painted with the rest of the cabinets. In order to cover the cut edge of the beadboard we used a trim piece.
For the island we added beadboard as well as baseboards. I can't wait to see how it all looks once painted and glazed. It will be one of the last things we do but I wanted to share this idea with you now.
