There are many

architectural features

that add beauty and grace to

cabinetry,

but

crown moulding

does more than that. It makes a statement. In addition to its aesthetic value, it has a function as well. Crown moulding and base trim conceal gaps and joints between the ceiling and the cabinetry creating an elegant transition from one to the other. In addition, it is used to add architectural character to decorative ledges, shelves, and

fireplace mantels.
