Right now my kitchen is in an L shape with cabinets running along the north and west side and the sink on the north run. I am planning on adding on to the far end of the north run of cabinets to come back at a 90 so that it will be more of a U set up and making that new section have a kitchen bar. I will be painting all cabinets so Im not too worried about them matching however where the new meets the old, how do I size that? Should I try to get it spot on or undersize it by 1/8 or 1/4 and shim it up flush? Just want to make sure they are flush on the face frames and tops in case i get a new counter as well and didnt know if shimming up was more preferred than say trying to cut off of the bottom to adjust the height as I think the front of my cabinets measure slightly lower from the floor than the backs do from the floor which is where my concern lies.
