How to eliminate dead space by extending kitchen cabinets to the ceiling
In short: Instead of replacing your entire kitchen, learn how to build plywood upper boxes that sit atop existing stock cabinets to increase visual height and maximize storage.
This project focuses on constructing 2-door upper boxes using 3/4-inch plywood, costing approximately $125 per box. The process involves building a box slightly shorter than the ceiling gap to allow for crown molding installation. To ensure a professional finish, the video details the assembly of face frames using 1x2x8 stiles and rails, along with 1x3x8 or 1x6x8 boards. The method also covers using pocket hole screws for assembly and utilizing pre-made doors with bored hinge holes to streamline the build.
