Upper cabinets don't line up with Lower---Help!
Comments (29)Wow how awesome is the ability to photoshop! Elwydee's verson looks great! Think that's the same as the first one you did isn't it? Your 2nd verson with the added cabinet also looks great. From that angle it doesn't look strange with the ceiling change above. Nancy made a good point though. Maybe you could check out both of those isues with another mock up from another angle or simulate with some cardboard at home. RKB and Elwydee can you please share what photoshop software you used? I learn something new every day on this site! Thanks....See MoreKitchen design-- no uppers on range wall or on sink wall?
Comments (6)I do like the openness of not having uppers, but I do miss there being something on the left side of the stove. It looks out of balance...do you need that corner counter space? A cabinet in the corner there would balance and give you a tad more storage (you have an upper there I"m just saying it should be continuous, like a column...i dont know the name of those, I've seen them as "appliance garages" or what have you.

Comments (5)Hi, Doc, As noted by 3onthetree above, stack effect promotes the migration of air from lower to upper levels. I's tough to fight physics. That said, you'll still benefit from sealing the duct work--but don't use duct tape. Use UL-approved foil tape for that purpose or mastic--either of which will meet code requirements for duct sealing. The tape is a little hard to work with because it adheres so well; it's good stuff. Any penetrations between floors--for piping, duct work, wiring, etc. should also be sealed. The International Residential Code prohibits the installation of HVAC returns in Kitchens unless the system serves the Kitchen only and is at least 10 ft from appliances--which is not likely from your description. The relevant code section is M1602.2 Return Air Openings. The return should be relocated. The occupants of the 1st floor will benefit as much from that as you will....See Moreemilyam819
