Crown Molding ala MomJ47



Here's her description of what she has (view this picture) and how it went up. Do we need to order light rail from Conestoga?? Or get that ourselves same as the other pieces??

-------------------

The trim at the top of my cabinets serves several purposes, and it's made of three pieces. The top piece, which is the crown moulding can be bought at any lumber yard, mine is probably the cheapest and simplest, and it goes with the rest of the house. The middle, flat piece is about 4+ inches. Since the ceiling isn't perfectly flat, this piece makes everything look even. The bottom piece, 3/4", which went on first, was an afterthought, the cabinets were a little lower than they expected (??). It is the same piece as my light rail, turned on its side, so the flat end shows, (the other side is actually cut like baseboard, but it doesn't show anywhere, not my style).

They put the small piece of trim up, then the flat piece went on top of that, and the crown moulding went up last. It gives it a cohesive look. There are some other kitchens in the gallery that do the same, and the small, piece at the bottom is a contrasting color.
