   Boy, tough spot. 

   If you keep that look (and I sure don't have another suggestion at this time), Cope the crown into the casing clean...................not an easy task.

   Thin down that scribe molding so it's the same thickness as the bottom of the crown.

   Work on the crown long-don't cut to length until you've got it perfect at the casing.

   edit:   Step back and take a picture of that whole shebang-the doorway, the cabs -that end of the room if you can.

   What idea does the maker of the cabs have?  They certainly could have been built either shorter in run if the crown was planned for-or taller in cab size, to get the crown above the casing.  At this time-beats me, other than what you've done running the crown into the casing.

   But-if he did the install-the crown shouldn't be pc'd, like it looks like it is in the first pic you posted and most definitely, the scribe should be fitted to the bottom of the crown if it's necessary to be there.  One more question-what happens to the right edge of the casing as it gets to the tile, counter and base cab?

   Sorry I can't come up with an answer.  I hope someone else can come through.

   I don't know if I have any good suggestions. Just a couple of ideas to toss out.

   Return the crown back to the cabinets before it hits the casing.

   Switch to a smaller cabinet for the last upper.

   Take the crown off the upper cabinets.

   Just cope it in nice and forget about it.  You'll be the only one that ever notices.

   Crown Solution

   As others have commented, "cope it nice and leave it, you're the only one who'll ever see it" is probably the second best solution.  The first best was  to shorten the upper cabinets during the shop drawing review process.

   For discussion purposes I drew a SketchUp model for a fix that is a distant third for possible solutions.  The profiled end block fixes the crown/casing problem but is more likely to draw attention to the problem in the first place.

   Good luck,

   Wow

   Those graphics are awesome. Thank you. We've settled on the "cope it and call it good" solution. I appreciate everyone's contributions. You are obviously good at what you do. I'll post a picture of the finished solution.

   If the crown were about an inch higher you might consider running it across the door as a sort of capital.  But it's too low, and it would look pretty hokey anyway.
