vaulted ceiling and upper cabinet height?? pics posted
Comments (1)How high is the top of your cabinet over the range? Are your cabinets in yet? Would love to see pictures.. We are working on our kitchen design with a vaulted ceiling and having a hard time trying to decide how high to go. We have a 12 foot high ceiling at the lowest point....See More24'' cabinets versus 30' as uppers/window backsplash
Comments (3)Thanks for the responses, both of you. The only drawings I have of it right now are on a web app (IKEA), which I have been trying unsuccessfully to migrate out so I can post some illustrations. I'll keep trying! Unfortunately, time is ticking fast on needing to pull the trigger on window dimensions if we are going to install it pre-siding/energy audit. I really dislike doing things backwards and in a rush! Right now we are leaning towards 30'' cabinets, room for 2-3" crown, a 19'ish inch window with 15 inches of glass and a 1 inch lip as a counter ledge - leaving no space for outlets, which would go inside the uppers and on each side of the long window run. If these link works, keep in mind the drawings put the cabinets to the ceiling - so they'll need to drop down 2-3 inches for crown, most likely. Let me see if this works.... 30" cabinets: http://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/US/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?Lang=en-US&LoadDesign=56ccc816e33147fba1b720480f01fd9c&UIContext=Kitchen&IsSharedDesign=1 24" cabinets: http://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/US/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?Lang=en-US&LoadDesign=9d02bbd55923402ea9edcc4389a8506d&UIContext=Kitchen&IsSharedDesign=1 PS - I am short, but the bottom shelves of my 30" are basically all I can reach without a stool the way it is - and the front of the second shelf.

Comments (22)Regarding earlier posts, I can't do 42" or even 39" cabinets really. I have 58.5" to work with. I don't think 1.5" of crown would look very good. I'm open to other opinions but I think 4.5" would fit the house much better and look much better proportion. I want to go as tall as possible, but I think 36" would look best in this case. 1) It sounds like most are against L-shape if not doing cabinets on other side of vent hood. I do have a preference there too but wife doesn't so it is helpful to hear others' thoughts so we cna make a decision. Neither of us feels super strongly, but there seems to be a consensus here. 2-3) We wouldn't do a light rail. I think ours are called full overlay, but I thought even with full overlay there is often a little bit of cabinet showing at the bottom of the uppers? But now that you question it, you may be right. I was looking at this example: Which is not full overlay, so that may have been where I was wrong. If we DID do lighting and there wasn't space under the cabinet, I wouldn't add a light rail, but would add space under the cabinet and a flush light rail and extend the doors past the flush light rail so it would look full overlay and you would open the doors but the shelf wouldn't start until a little higher up. I've seen this quite a bit here and it looks good. So for us the questions are still 1) L-shape? and 2) under-cab lighting? We also would like to do white subway tile instead of our 4" backsplash but that's another expense we may save for later (or never).

Comments (7)There are plenty of semi custom cabinets available that offer a standard "stacked" wall cabinet- with one long and one short section- typical 45 and 48" total height-top opening of 12" 48 brings you to 9 1/2 ft nominal, leaving 6" for molding which is nice for a stack of molding. For instance looking at Showplace a stacked 3648 is about $215 more than a simple 3636 wall. Many brands that don't have a standard stack will "combine" cabinets - you pick the sizes(which will be available from 12-42" high in 3" increments) and they make them as a single cabinet. Costs doing it that way vary from brand to brand--from slightly more to quite a bit....See More

4 years agoMy ceilings are supposedly 8ft but in reality are 7.5, like yours. I used 36" cabinets in my kitchen. My brand was Shiloh. I'm very happy.
