I'm buying a house this fall with a lot of potential, but the cabinets in the kitchen are pretty blase. I like the look of a raised center panel on the doors, but the current fronts are flat with a sharp 1/2x3" border around each door. Is there some way to spruce the doors up to match the pretty crown molding the owners put on top of the cabinets? Or am I stuck with buying all new cabinet doors if I want them to match the look of the trim?

Crown moldings increase the value of the interiors many times over. Thanks for sharing Tim!

yeah. that"s what I was waitng for. to see how he glues the molding in place. left me stranded.

NOT true! You CAN attach crown molding directly to the cabinets. Most, if not all, cabinets have enough space between the door and the top of the cabinet to pin nail crown molding. It is done all the time.
Understood, but how do you adhere the peices of wood to the top?

Mr. Builder, how do you attach the frame to the cabinetry to support the crown moulding? I don't want to attach to the cabinet as it may damage the cabinet and shorten the appearance even more. Thanks!

@calrageous apply pieces of wood to the top of the cabinet that are flush with the front and sides of the cabinets

At 21 seconds, I noticed that the crown molding ended near the base of the stairs because the ceiling ended there. How would you go about cutting that end point? Do you just do a normal outside corner?

Yes, that is how it is done.
