I would not visit the site above. This person joined today for the purpose of advertising the site and is listed as in Thailand. Googling bring up only 5 hits and 3 of those are in a foreign language. Could be genuine but................

You can also use the virtual design program from Lowe's. It is essentially the same one they use at IKEA, but there are more view and cabinet options.

Ok, two votes for one and two for the other? This is just about where I started :) But somehow it helps anyway to get the different opinions. rhome, thanks for your offer, if you can do it in any nearest future it would be great (and I promise, no big expectations). If you can't, not a problem. I am already amazed at the input you are able to provide here while raising such a big family. as far as malhgold's idea, I love open shelving in kitchens in magazine photos. But in our case I think we'd give up too much practical storage if we changed that cabinet to open shelves and the adjacent cabinets to glass. It would limit us to dishes in all three. With wood doors, i could have my everyday dishes in the cabinet to the right of the sink and any other kitchen items in the cabinet to the left. Another concern is dust since we wouldn't have items we use and clean daily on the upper shelf above the sink. So whatever goes there would have to be dusted regularly. Also we have those other glass cabs on the other side, so it could end up being too much glass all together. So as you cal tell I sort of talked myself out of that idea. And I did check the 12" cabinets, they are 10.5 deep inside and i've taken my plates and pots down there for a "trial fit". Also, we may be able to move the lower cabs out by 0.75" and make the uppers 13" and 10" deep which would be great. I just have to confirm with the KD after the final measurement they did this week that we have enough room by the basement door.

lyno, I tried bringing up Plan3D without the internet hooked up and I couldn't log in. You have to log in everytime you use it. So I hooked my internet back up and logged in. I brought up my design and played with it a bit. Then I unhooked my internet connection. All of my cabinet libraries went away. Unfortunately, you need the internet to use Plan3D. I'm sure there is better software out there that doesn't require a connection to the internet. Plan3D was quick and cheap. Good Luck!
