Kitchen Remodel

Very nice. What time is dinner?

Big Steve,

You did a fantastic job on the remodel! If you don’t mind me asking, what are the dimensions on the breakfast nook and the bank of drawers? I am going to be remodeling and I would like to do something similar. Again, Great Work!

Good-looking cabinets, the whole project came out great I like the idea of using the drawer glides on the inside of the drawer that’s the first time I’ve seen that done,( got to remember that one.)

Very nice job. I am planning (correction I have been told to plan) a similar remodel later on this year. For some reason my wife wants to change a perfectly good kitchen simply because it is 20 years old. I like the finish on the cabinetry and taking the cabinets over the refrigerator to the ceiling adds needed storage space that is often overlooked.

Great job.

LOL, What your wife is letting you get away without new appliances??? LOL…Problem is your new cabinets look so good its making the old appliances look…well….old [GRIN] That’s what happens when you do a great job. Excellent looking kitchen and those new granite counter tops show your cabinets even better. Awesome job.

I agree with everyone else, those are some darn nice cabinets. The silverware tray on slides is an awesome idea.

very nice… Love those drawers!

The bar top is 7’ x 3’, 42” high, and the chest of drawers is 24” wide by 30” deep.
I reccomend using the self closing sides on the two tiered drawer, it locks the above drawer in place when you move the surrounding drawer.

Very nice. Have you investigated doing wood panelling over the appliances? That seems to be a big trend these days.

Woody,

Thanks for the information.

Jon3,
I thought about that. I’m not sure about the best way to attach the wood door to the fridge. The other issue iis the white sides of the fridge would be visible. Do you have any experience/ suggestions?

My SS Frigidaire Gallery appliances cost less per square foot than the time/lumber/hardware to build my cabinets. (Ash is cheap, ash ply is not, neither is time)

I did the same thing- gutted the existing kitchen and started over. Should be done before the 1 year anniversary. Only 5 doors to go.

Bathroom- same thing, except 1 year anniversary passed 3 years ago. Still have to paint.

That looks very impressive. I like that second drawer tray mounted on drawer slides
