    The easiest thing is to add to the top of your cabinets with a coordinating or complimenting color. Add to top rails and along wall for new counter to sit on. The other thing of course is to remove base cabinets and set on a plywood or a short base then reinstall. Add baseboard to cover the wood addition .

    We pretty much figured that we are going to have to add base to bottom of cabinets because I am going to lose space between upper cabinets, so hubby is going to have to cut upper cabinets off so I don't lose counter space. Thanks for input.
