In my kitchen there is a soffit ringing the three walls. I trimmed back part of one soffit where built in oven and broiler were to keep all the soffit's to a 14" depth. It is basically a 9 X 9 "U" shaped kitchen style. The window being at the bottom of the "U". Soffit goes across the window top.
I was wanting to build 14" wall cabinets with a 15" corner cabinet (15"D X 23" W one wall, 23"W X 15"D window wall) with resulting door at an angle. One on each side of the window. There is to be a molding at the top of the cabinets basically to hide the soffit edge, as it was not installed straight when the house was built. So I figured I could straighten it all out with the cabinets and molding.
My question is, would that look klutzy since the molding would be free standing from the soffit by about 3/4" or so? If not would running LED lights behind the molding for soft lighting be overkill if I were to install them?
PS; I was also hoping for a little more storage space.
