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.
Obviously does not look as good as a return or a 45 , but this looks
like my only choice.
Anyone ever run into this before and how you dealt with it?

What about a 45 return of the crown only at the corner the length of
which is simply the depth back to the cabinet (I presume) it is mounted
on? All that would "stick out" would be that relatively small amount
over 1" of the width of the mould.

As you say, I'm having a hard time visualizing exactly the situation...
