Up To Ceiling Kitchen Cabinets

You might remember awhile back i scribbled out a little sketch of what i wanted my someday kitchen to look like.

Up to ceiling kitchen cabinets.

8 ceilings so wall cabinets will be either 30 tall or 42 tall plus crown molding. Drill a flat bracket or l bracket into each board and use it to connect to the top of the cabinets. When my ex and i built i thought the open space for display was the cat s meow since i d always had bulkheads over kitchen cabinets before. I wanted the cabinets to extend up to the ceiling.

While some kitchen cabinets that don t extend to the ceiling were built that way for a reason often times it s just wasting valuable space that could be filled with more cabinets for extra storage. Place the boards vertically as you want them to go over your cabinets. Extending your cabinets to the ceiling is also an easy way to make your space appear larger and more open. Run crown molding across the top and nail into the vertical boards.

Use a nail gun to nail through the boards into the cabinets and ceiling. If you were getting new cabinets would it be worth the extra cost to take them all the way up to the ceiling. Current ones are 30. It only took a year or two before i started kicking myself for that decision and i ve been itching to run the cabinets up to the ceiling ever since.
