My parents have generously offered to pay a carpenter to put up a plate rail for my blue and white plates in the kitchen. This is my birthday present this year! So I had a carpenter out yesterday to look into it...
Well, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. and realized what he meant when he assumed that I'd want to be painting the rail the same white as the crown moulding and trim. =) I had told him to paint the plate rail yellow to match the walls. I just hadn't thought about the possibility of matching it to the moulding and trim.
Well, what do you think, gentle reader? I'm going to call him as soon as it's a decent hour to tell him to hold off on painting until I can decide. One of the pictures above is of some of the plates in our last kitchen at the rental house. And I also included a picture of our current kitchen. The plate rail would go at the bottom of the yellow space right above the cabinets. I think the cabinets are going to stay wooden stained for the foreseeable future...
I'm looking for advice. I haven't done much of this sort of decorating decision making before where I'm having to decide about something more permanent than where to hang a few pictures! =)

my vote is for white - I think it would provide a nicer contrast.
I'd vote white too!
My vote is for white. It will just blend in and not show up if its the same color as the wall.
I vote white. I think it will make a pretty contrast with the white and tie in all the blue and white plates. Can't wait to see it!
