I could really use some help:

The handyman putting my kitchen together asked for a strip tape for the abstrakt cabs. Ikea doesnt have it. I think I heard of this being sold somewhere. I'm sorry but I cant think of the exact name.

Also, I have grey concrete floor, grey concrete counters and stainless steel appliances. I didnt want the grey/stainless toe kicks as I thought it might be too much grey. The ctr. is cutting down absrakt pantry doors for toe kicks. I didnt think anything of it, but counter ctr. says they shouldnt be white.

Any ideas on color for behind the counters? I am getting a concrete 2" grey backsplash. I was thinking about a retro green. Does anyone have an opinion?

Lastly, I burned the abstrakt cab. door in the laundry room. I didnt replace the cover on the light next to it, and I left it open against the bulb. The mark is <1" in diameter. I bought a new door, but was wondering if there is anyway to fix the burn.

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

I'll chime in on the toekicks. Sounds expensive to cut down Abstrakt doors, that's my first thought. Even though there is no gloss white toekick specifically to match Abstrajt, a little contrast with a non-shiny toekick might be nice if you really want to use white.

I have Abstrakt white cabinets and I used the silver-colored toekick, and frankly, it disappears a bit and doesn't strike me as either stainless or grey. I think even with grey floors and other grey in the kitchen, it wouldn't be a bad element. I think I have a picture of my kitchen in my gallery, if you want to see mine.

Love the pictures of your house, by the way!
