My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

42" cabinets?

10 years ago
Assuming you used 42" cabinets? We want to do the same but have 8ft ceilings. How did you make this work with moulding above the cabinets?

    The face frame around the cabinets is large enough to allow the installation of crown molding. The cabinet is actually pushed up to the ceiling so you still have adequate and appropriate space from the bottom of the uppers to the counter.

    I would definitely do the 42" uppers. The extra space is great. We use it for things that we don't use every day. The first two shelves are for everyday items.
