I have crown moulding on my shaker style cabinets. It's three pieces, it goes to the ceiling and can accommodate the unevenness of the ceiling.

We have a very simple moulding for our light toned Shaker cabinets.

There was a thread on this very topic recently. Click on the link below. (It is easy to use the search feature to see previous posts on any topic - I typed in "crown shaker" and it came right up.) Anyway, here is my crown. It is wider and goes all the way to the ceiling on the hood area only.

We used the same molding that we have in the rest of the house.

Very simple but perfect for us.

The molding on our Shaker cabinets is simple looking but there's a lot of it. We had to run the venting for the range exhaust above the cabinets to the outside. As a result, we have 3 inches of "library" molding, and 4 inches of crown molding. I didn't like it at first, but I now believe it adds a lot of architectural interest, and makes the kitchen look more finished.

We're not quite finished putting it on but here it is:

here is ours, we had a huge problem as our 100 year old ceiling was uneven so they had to relevel it with plaster-pushed us back 1 week.

Our molding has an egg-and-dart insert, so it's more elaborate than a pure Shaker style:

thanks everyone! Those are some lovely examples of crown molding.

I'm in the midst of a shaker kitchen right now, and I think I'm in the patty_bee camp. They look like tall filler strips placed horizontally, and that seems to make the most sense to me with a shaker kitchen. The shakers were, after all, pretty plain people.
