1. I thought the 12" depth on the cabinets wasn't enough, so I bought some finished trim boards to fill the gap some. This pushed the cabinets 2.25" "out", which doesn't seem like much, but it made a big difference.
2. There was about 3.5" of dead space on either side, so using the left over trim board I mounted it to the side of each cabinet with angle brackets prior to installation.
3. One cabinet up. Lookin' good!
4. Both cabinets up, and I tossed on a door to see how they would look.
5. The kitchen cabinets had a piece of crown molding at the top and I wanted to copy this look, so I installed it at the top, but unlike my kitchen cabinets, I had to nail a piece of left over trim board to the top of the cabinets (see pic 4) then I could attach the molding.
Edit: Crap. I got ahead of myself, oh well, I'm not deleting these pics and starting over... pretend I already painted
