![]() I let the trim overhang the front about an inch and only slightly on the sides. I’m not sure if this is standard or protocol for adding stacked cabinets but I actually don’t mind the look at all! I’ve seen it both ways so I’m sure it’s a matter of preference. ![]() Since I am copying the 2 stacked cabinets that our builder installed in the center of my kitchen, I needed to use the same trim that went between the lower and upper stacked cabinets. I needed an even surface to set the new cabinets on and that particular filler was about an inch too tall (the crown was covering it previously). The filler pieces you see above the cabinet in the photo actually had to be removed, and trimmed down with my table saw. Fortunately there were only a few small pin nail holes in the fronts of the cabinets that I patched with white wood filler and the smallest dab of white paint I had in the garage. I scored the caulk the builder placed behind the crown with a razor blade and gently pried the crown away from the cabinets using only my hands. I removed the crown molding from my cabinets as carefully as possible since I wanted to reuse it on the new stacked cabinets at the end. I also recently wrote a post here where I went into more detail about the plans for my DIY stacked kitchen cabinets if you need to get caught up before I dive right into how I actually completed them. All I saw was a blank canvas with tons of potential! Shortly after we moved in I added pendant lights, a backsplash, decorative cabinet panels, and hardware which you can read all about here. I was head over heels in love, but knew there was so much more I wanted to add to reflect my style. This is our house the day we closed and it became ours. But when I learned that our builder supplied Timberlake cabinets (which is sold through the Home Depot as American Woodmark) I knew I could purchase them at a later date to save money! The BEFORE I knew my dream kitchen consisted of having stacked cabinets throughout, however our budget didn’t agree with that dream. When we built our home we were overwhelmed with the amount of design choices that needed to be made and not to mention the price tags associated with the upgrades we were looking for. Make sure you check out my DIY Stacked Kitchen Cabinets post on the Home Depot Blog HERE ! After 2 years of living in our new home, I can finally say my dream kitchen is complete! I’ve been dreaming of adding DIY stacked kitchen cabinets since the day we decided to build this house and I’m so happy to finally be sharing the finished product with you guys!
