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.

I need help with kitchen crown molding

12 years ago
Should the crown molding only go around the cabinets or can you put it around the kitchen ceiling? My ceilings are 8 feet high. A prompt responds is appreciated.

    I guess it depends on whether you have enough height to do the continuous crown like in the pictures posted by Chelsea. If there is only space for a narrow crown on the cabinets (looks like 2 inches or so) then that will be too narrow for the wall crown. I suppose that a good carpenter would be able to mate crowns of different heights?
