problem with crown molding ending at open wall

This is going to be kind of hard to describe so bear with me. I'll try
to post pics later.
I recently renovated my kitchen and I started to install the crown
molding on top of the cabinets(they are not going to the ceiling). One
wall has wall cabinets and the last cabinet is a 45 degree cabinet
that ends with the wall . Past this wall is my DR and LR.
Here is the problem. the last 45 degree cabinet ends about 1" away
from the end of the wall. When I put up the crown, it sticks out past
the wall. It looks good if standing in front of it in the DR, but when
you look at it from the LR on the other side, all you see is this
piece of crown sticking out past the wall and it looks ugly. I thought
about putting a return, but it would not look right on top of the
cabinet. I would basically have to cut the top molding about 3"
shorter then do a return and it would not look good. The only way it
looks good if I cut the end of the molding straight ( no 45 at the
wall). The molding does not stick out past the wall if I do this.
Anyone ever run into this before and how you dealt with it?

Sounds good to me, but my Explorer is not equipped with crown molding.
Sounds like you need to bevel the top of the crown molding down to be
flush with your LR wall.

There is quite a lot of room in my Explorer, especially with the seats
folded down. Where can I get one of these kitchen kits? Never seen one
before but it sounds a great idea for those long journeys!

You've replied to multiple newsgroups with this. The original was
posted by a clown who is trying to disrupt groups and in particular
news.admin.net-abuse.email by forging handles. The best you can do is
to ignore them and not cross post on replies.
