I'm going to put crown moulding in the bathroom I'm remodeling. While
I was sanding the moulding I realized I didn't know which way was up.
I've been told that for years but never believed it.

If the crown has a cove detail it normally goes down.
It's always been my belief that crown was originally designed this way
so that if you needed to mold down the side of a cabinet you could
just cope a piece of cove mold into the cove detail on the crown.
