IMPORTANT NOTE 3: If existing kitchen has soffits, measure from floor high point to bottom of soffit to be sure that cabinets will fit.
Most kitchen designs will need 84” from top of finished floor. If 84” is not achieved, a new line below & parallel to the 54” line, may be
drawn to use as wall cabinets bottom point. If 84” are not achieved, it is optional to add the overage to the 54” line, this will allow wall
cabinet to fit up under the soffits with no gap or you may use original 54” line and leave a gap at top open or for molding.
