Cabinet Height in Kitchen with 11-Foot Ceilings? Good Questions
6/4/12 9:03 AM

Ceiling height cabinets look more in keeping with a Victorian-era house to me. I live in a house built in the 1880s and my husband talked me out of having ours built to the ceiling. They look off to me. Other house interiors I've seen in our neighborhood which still have the original butlers pantry have to the ceiling cabinets amd it's a look I prefer. It's tidier. Otherwise all that empy space above the cabinets just looks sort of ... empty

The point about the highest cabinets being hard to reach is true unless you have a ladder like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/75364993734515185/ (We don't.) Our ceilings are 11.5 and our cabinets go up to 10 feet. The very top shelves store infrequently used items.

I am a big admirerer of this house and I especially love this kitchen -- particularly that large bank of windows.

There are more pictures of the kitchen and the house on this blog.
