New build- kitchen cabinets are in!
Comments (11)Thanks for the compliments! I would appreciate any thoughts on hardware and backsplash :) For the hardware, I'm thinking fairly simple and maybe a bit rustic? Still not sure if it should be black or ORB....See MoreNeed help with my new kitchen in my new build - cabinet alignment
Comments (15)Thanks for all the comments. I cannot have equal size uppers other than as drawn because of the placement of the window and the beams (it is a new build at the framing stage). I appreciate the comments about the backsplash and need to figure that out. I really do like practigal picture - but the cabinets are the same size but there is more on one side than the other. I do have an island on that is 8 feet by 5 feet and the wall with the range is 20' long....See MoreNew build with kitchen cabinet too large for door cove crown molding
Comments (41)I am so grateful for this feedback I have received today. And thank you again PPF and Bryan911 for all the helpful details. I am going to see about a new upper cabinet. We’ve put too much into this project to let two upper cabinets good us up :) I had a lot of people including a designer I hired for a short time out eyes on this, and we still missed it. Just goes to show you how difficult it can be to build a house and get all the details to work out as hoped. PPF — the reason we broke up the expanse of the pantry door with shaker panels was since we wanted it to look integrates with the cabinetry and to break up the tall doors since we have 10’ ceilings. I do agree also about hinges that can be hidden. It also annoys me that they are such a bright gold when my lights and cabinet hardware will be more of an aged, satin brass. Is it easy to switch out hinges and not mess up the doors?...See MoreNew build kitchen cabinets chipped
Comments (5)Start your documentation. Realistically you'll be waiting until sometime in the future beyond your move-in date to complete a solution to this mishap. To me, logically, that takes the closing date out of the negotiations. My goal would be to have the undamaged cabinets installed at the correct heights. With provisions for repair and replacement within the timeframe the manufacturer estimates for sending new pieces. I'd retain my 10% holdback until the job was completed satisfactorily. Whoever handled the cabinet order should contact the manufacturer....See Morehoosierbred
