UPPER CABINET SOFFIT

When frameless cabinets have a soffit above the upper cabinets, a top valance and shadow line can reduce the dark line and lessen the appearance of inconsistencies of a drywalled soffit. Adding a Crown above the cabinets that are flush with the door face adds a custom, modern look.
