I'm currently doing some kitchen updates and I want to dress up my oak cabinets with some crown molding. What's the best way of going about adding molding?

Nail gun it directly to the cabinet themselves?

Add a framing to the top of the cabinets and nail into that?

Other?

Let me add that the cabinets do not go to the ceiling because the kitchen is vaulted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :thumbup:

Crown is attached to face frame of cabinet on standard overlay cabinets. If cabinets are fully overlay or frameless, then a strip of wood is added for nailing the crown.

Gotcha. Thanks.
