   The only way you're going to like the end product is to do it the right way--scribe and trim it.Shim it up level and then scribe the 3 accessible sides; then trim it off to the scribe lines with a saber saw with a fine-cutting blade, or cut just proud of the line and finisn it off with a belt sander. Connect the lines for the proper cut across the back and you have a vanity which sits on the floor properly, sans big,clunky moulding!!It's not particularly hard to do it right.

   *Recently used an OG stop as the shoe mld on kitchen cabs (designer spec'd) and with its 1-1/4" height, easily covered the growing gap under the toe kick. In this kitchen, with that cab style, looked great. Never have liked qtr round used as a shoe. It usually looks clunky as bear contends.

   *You could scribe and cut, but if I was doing it I would put a solid shim under it (not just a couple pieces of cedar shim stuff) and wrap the cab with the same base used on the wall. That toe kick stuff usually looks like hell anyway.

   *Screw a 1x3 to the floor across the front of the vanity for it to sit on. That way you have something solid to nail any shoe moulding to. I would use some other shoe moulding other than quarter round. You can get clam or colonial stop moulding.

   Okay, so I'm putting in a new vanity over existing vinyl and I don't think the floor could be any more out of whack. Should I just screw the vanity to the wall (which is plumb), shim under the base, and run large quarter round around the base? We're talking about a 3/4" gap in the front of the vanity, and it's sitting on the floor in the back. I don't see any options except for cutting the base of the vanity to match the floor, which I don't feel like doing on this such lovely artifical wood. So, what's the best way to cover up a gap underneath of that magnitude. As always, thanks for the help.
