This kitchen was a remodel & did have soffits above the wall cabinets as well as cabinets above the peninsula. Taking out the soffits allowed for taller wall cabinets & adding a 2 piece crown molding encloses the space that would have been above the new wall cabinets. In using this 2 piece crown molding it also covered where the old soffit was therefore eliminating the need to repair the ceiling except for where there was existing cabinets above the peninsula which were removed to give an open space into the dining room.
