New Soapstone countertops and base cabinets reveal

Glad you like it, I think the style has some Frank Lloyd Wright influence. ------ Posted by madtown_2006 (My Page) on Sat, Jan 25, 14 at 21:00 That video just blew my mind! That is amazing! Beautiful kitchen! LOVE your soapstone and the dark pulls/counters/appliances. Yeah, I thought that was wild how those cabinets are made and go together. The ORB pulls were suggested by the cabinet maker. They seem to go OK with the black appliances that were only 7 years old which we wanted to keep. ------- Posted by raehelen (My Page) on Sat, Jan 25, 14 at 21:14 I missed it the first time too. Gorgeous! This is when the limits of photography are so frustrating...I can just imagine how you must want to stroke both the oak and the soapstone...just hard to capture the depth in a picture. Thanks all for your kind comments. I've been using an iPhone for the pictures. It's really a lot easier that way though the pictures might look better with a better camera/photographer. At least you probably get an idea of how it looks. :-) It's interesting that the stone feels different on the underside of the island overhang, it's smoother! I learned that the stone comes to the fabricator with a smooth 400 grit finish and then gets cut and finished with 80 grit which is rougher but gives that soapstone feel. It also holds the oil better and makes the stone less susceptible to scratches. This post was edited by Quadesl on Sun, Jan 26, 14 at 10:00...See MoreClearance for full overlay doors
Comments (5)Thanks for all the input. I posted the question about wall clearance on barkerforums.com (after reading about its existence on another thread) and here's what he said: "For your face frame cabinet, a 1/2" overlay should be used leaving about 1" of space between the edge of the drawer and the wall. You can get closer if you really want to, even down to a 1/4" reveal, but that is getting very tight to the wall and the drawer slides will have a bit of flex to them, which may result in a bit of rubbing. " Given that I've got a 100 year-old house with wonky walls, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to leave a bit of extra room for clearance. I suppose the added benefit on the doors is that they'd open a tad wider than 90*. And my kitchen is only 9' wide, and not open concept, so the reveal won't be real obvious, like visible from the next room or something....See MoreShould I redo the cabinets and counter top?
Comments (23)Granite in a kitchen in a house valued at $100,000? NOPE, that's a waste of money. You won't begin to recoup what you spend for it. And everyone is changing out their tile countertops, at least from what I see on this site. (It's that grout, who wants to clean the cooking dreck out of the grout?) I would consider NOT buying a house with tiled countertops in the kitchen, all other things being equal. Some people really prefer stained cabinets over painted. I can like the look of either, but unless you get a true pro to do the job ($$$), it's going to look cheapened. Those cabinets look fine to me, and would not dissuade me from making an offer. It's the curb appeal (driveway) you may want to be focusing on. Oh, and see if you can bleach the floor tile grout in the shower as white as possible - or see if there is a way to make it all look like it's supposed to be one light sand or gray color of grout......See Morecountertop overhang support with full overlay doors below
Comments (18)Hi Emily - We had the 12” overhang installed with the cabinets as is. We called around to several fabricators in our area and about 50% said no more than a 10” overhang should be installed and the other 50% said 12” was their standard overhang without supports. We even had someone else, who installs supports for counters, come take a look and he didn’t think we needed them. Not sure if it makes a difference, but our peninsula is 37.5” wide without the counters. We don’t place any heavy objects down on the overhang and usually put our groceries on the island when we bring them in, which we would have done anyway so not a big deal. Definitely a lesson learned for us if we ever do another kitchen remodel (which won’t be for a very long time!). Good luck with your project!...See Morekrisztina_markus7
