Up To Ceiling Kitchen Cabinets

Place the boards vertically as you want them to go over your cabinets.

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. 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. Cost increases by 15 to take them to the ceiling.

Use a nail gun to nail through the boards into the cabinets and ceiling. If you take only one thing away from the entirety of my story blog let it be that someday isn t ev ver going to happen unless you make someday today. You might remember awhile back i scribbled out a little sketch of what i wanted my someday kitchen to look like. Current ones are 30.

Run crown molding across the top and nail into the vertical boards. 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. Extending your cabinets to the ceiling is also an easy way to make your space appear larger and more open. A general rule of thumb is for wall cabinets to be mounted so the bottom edge is 54 inches above the floor which means that an 8 foot tall ceiling creates 42 inches of available space for wall cabinets while a 9 foot tall ceiling has 54 available inches.
