Are they the same moulding? The area above the cabinets looks pretty short. Regardless I would install the house crown first, mitering and returning it at the corner as if it were a corner. Then cope the cabinet crown into it.

Your house looks more modern -- e.g., the uncased doorway -- so why are you adding crown at all? It seems like it will look out of place. Just cap the cabinets and move on...

Modern/transitional houses, no crown.

There was crown previously that was taken down, so if I choose not to replace the crown there will be ceiling and wall repair needed. Also, there is crown running through the rest of the house

My house is not modern, was built in 2004 and we are trying to update it. The arch in the photo is a “wall niche” that we opened down to the floor to add a lower cabinet.

Ok, my misread.

Hallett has given you the professional answer.

@hallett, is there a photo you can show me if what that would look like please?

Maybe a vertical floor-to-ceiling piece of white trim, like a 1x3 or 1x4 or 1x6 - whatever works with your other trim. Or a faux square column where you can make the top additional trim deep enough to butt up against both pieces of crown.

It’s hard to tell if this would work from the single pic posted. It depends on how the rest of your house is designed. Usually something like this should be repeated somewhere else.

Since the top of the cabinet will be a small trim, I would just "dead end" the crown. This way you aren't trying to have them meet.

Your cabinet design didn't really leave any room for crown. Maybe a filler, scribed to the ceiling. But if you wanted crown, ou needed shorter cabinets.

Show the cabinet crown and the house crown together in one picture

I do not see crown on the right and whay is that cabinet not taken to the ceiling. I agree a tiny trim piece in the kitchen and then if it is neccessary crown in the rest. I think to me the cabinets looklike they are modern so whay crown at all.? I agre we need to see the pieces together. So post those pics here in a comment DO NOT start another post.If it was me I would spend my money on getting those walls smooth.

Maybe I'm not understanding the issue, but how would you ever be able to open that cabinet door if you install crown molding? It just doesn't look like there is any room for it.

There is no crown installed yet…my cabinet maker is going to install it. He’s done a ton of kitchens, and I’ve seen his work in person although that particular kitchen had sloped ceilings and so the cabinets did not go up to the ceiling. It does look like these cabinets come up too high but he made them and knew all the specs of my kitchen, so I’m curious as to what the trim/crown will look like. I’ll ask him to bring a small piece the next time he comes over.

There might be room for a 1/2" inside corner molding, but there is no room for any actual crown molding, without going to at least 3" shorter cabinets. But more like 6" shorter if you want a large cove crown.

I just asked him about it and he said he designed the crown to fit the tall cabinets…I can’t picture it but I’ll be interested to find out.
