Sorry, don't have any real photos yet, but I have an old drawing that at least gives perspective on what I'm trying to convey. Worth mentioning the hood in the picture is not right. Our hood is 36in wide on top as is the duct cover all the way to the ceiling. Bottom of hood is 54in. Also probably worth mentioning we have no desire to try to cram more upper cabinets in that space as we have 18ft of cabinets on the opposite wall. Ceilings are 9ft and not 100% sure of dims on crown, but it will be in the ~6in range to match the rest of the house. Cabinets shown are not correct height. They'll run nearly to ceiling and close the small gap with crown.
