I can reach the top of them just nicely. Our ceiling is 31c, the dropped ceiling is 28c and the bulkhead over the cupboards is 2100.

Personally I think that style looks better without the drop. A more modern square set look seems to suit it better. Our builder didn't offer square set. I've seen a few displays with a drop ceiling with the cornice we have and I don't mind how it looks. Not something that's high on the priority list to get done anyway. I think we'll be gone from here before we get that far down the list. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Is that a laminex type finish on the front of your island bench. Am thinking of doing something similar, there's some really great patterns out there... http://www.laminex.com.au/colour-palette.php#!/colour-palette/ebony-bellezza Re: Dropped ceiling over kitchen 17May 23, 2011 10:13 pm Rizzo Oops, you can't really see the dropped ceiling in those. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/eliz77/260311_0199.jpg that looks awesome Re: Dropped ceiling over kitchen 19May 23, 2011 10:48 pm Thanks everyone for your help. Joles, your kitchen looks great but I can see that having the dropped ceiling would define that area and would look great Rizzo your kitchen is also beautiful, infact I am hoping mine will be similar I think we may pay for the dropped ceiling, we will still have 9ft ceilings in the kitchen so will have taller cabinets like Karry but with the dropped ceiling as well. We won't be having any cornices as such, as we have shadow line cornices throughout.
