This design shows crown molding on top of 36 tall uppers and a small space between the crown and ceiling. Use a pin nailer to nail into the corners of the two pieces of crown molding image 2. Cut strips of straight 3 4 in x 1 1 2 in wood to fit the front and sides of each cabinet. Cabinets and trim go all the way to the.

Provide a nailing surface for crown moulding by attaching solid wood mounting strips to the top edges of the cabinets. This capability is lost when you run the cabinets fully to the ceiling. And if your kitchen has ornate built up crown moldings they will probably need to be removed to install full rise wall cabinets and it may be impossible. Standard cabinets can also allow for indirect uplighting through light fixtures mounted on the tops of the cabinets.

The perimeter of the room is 9. Using a nail gun nail the crown to the baseboard. It all is one continuous piece from the cabinets up to the crown molding. Dry fit the crown molding by holding the front piece and a side piece against the front and side of the baseboard image 1.

The kitchen cabinets and molding do not go to the ceiling and the wall cabinets and trim will be just below the ceiling. Make sure the pieces are together and in place snugly. Even if the crown molding does not reach the ceiling it still gives the cabinets a finished polished look. The riser molding is outlined in red.

Alternatively cabinets would extend to a dropdown drywall soffit within the kitchen. We didn t want our cabinets to go clear up to 9 so our custom cabinet maker added a soffit that matched the cabinets. Use one long strip for a row of cabinets the same depth then apply wood glue to each strip nail it in place and let dry. If the ceiling height of your kitchen is nine or ten feet the cabinetry can be treated one of two ways.
