How to build up kitchen cabinets to touch ceiling?

keywords: build,kitchen,cabinets,touch,ceiling

if im reading this right..
if you have a bank of cabinets across the wall and you can't find the same widths?
you really don't have to match it up with the Original cabinets. it would look better, but you can stagger them.
on the other hand why not make it a shelf above the cabinets
a fur-down would be the best way if you cant find a good match to your cabinets
most of the kitchens I remodel the cabinets are away from the ceiling but we add a crown on the top

We have about 18" of open space above existing kitchen cabinets. We were planning on adding cabinets above our existing cabinets and then crown molding to touch ceiling, however, a few of the existing wall cabinets are 21"w x 12"d and the manufacturer does not make any cabinets that are 15"h x 21"w x 12"d. We are considering putting up a "facade" or fake cabinet box for the areas we cannot install "real" cabinets. We have even considered not adding the extra cabinets (that are the correct size and match) and just put the "fake" box all the way across the top and finish the very top with decorative molding. Has anyone done this or have any other ideas to achieve the look of the cabinets reaching the ceiling?

Use the same type of wood with the same stain and make a glass front. You could go all out and use lighting too. Looks great and usable with glass doors. They have different designs on the glass. Classy too.
