14 years agoOurs is either 5 or 6 ft wide (can't remember).
Drawers hold flatware and napkins etc, cabinets hold trays and have pull-out shelves on bottom for holiday china and linens.

Has anyone built their own chicken coop/hutch?
Comments (7)Always remember to make it predator proof, chicken wire on the floor is important, also if you can around the perimeter just underneath the soil as this will stop the sneaky foxes and mice from digging in around the edges. The other point I'd like to make is that quite often (unless you really want to do it yourself) the cost to build one from scratch is more expensive that purchasing a coop through a company that ships them. Not just in materials but also in time and tools that you may need to go purchase. If you've got all the tools and some excess building materials around the yard, then sure it might be worthwhile - there's some good info here: https://www.coopsandcages.com.au/chickens/chicken-coops/ These guys give you a fairly accurate guide on comparing the DIY or ready to assemble chicken coops....See MoreShow me your built-in dish hutch!
Comments (15)Thanks for all of the help -- while all of these are great, sweeby and ging9, your style is really what I am trying to find -- where top cabs come down to counter top. I would love to someday just reach in and get the dishes and plates I need rather than only being able to reach what is in the first shelf most of the time! DH is concerned about loss of counter space in front, but I love the idea that this configuration keeps that section of the counter "clutter free" by design. We tend to live by piles and I am trying desperately in this new design to avoid the tendency for that by having designated areas for mail, homework, etc. that does not include all of the counter space in the kitchen!...See MoreNeed honest feedback re: converting WD area to built-in hutch
Comments (11)Geokid, yes, yes, yes,my WD area looks like your top photo, the area with the open louvered doors. Fortunately, cheap wall cabinets with doors are hiding my stuff for now rather than having open shelves. Referring to the second photo, I absolutely agree with you that the wall cabinets rising higher than the outer door frame look awful. As they say, one photo is worth a thousand words. That photo convinced me to lower the ceiling height if I follow through with removing the bifold doors from the enclosure. Thank you so much for those pictures. I believe the point of Olychick's initial photo is to have open area cut outs at the top of those very tall upper doors, if the ceiling is not lowered. This then would provide a visual break for the portion of the door which rises above the horizontal portion of the door frame molding. Is this correct? Olychick, thank you for your persistance in providing me with the concealed W/D option in Titus homes. They used black screening in the upper portion of the lower cabinet doors as another option to provide ventilation. For my situation, putting louvered doors on the base portion and regular cabinet doors for the wall cabinet may be the best ventilation option. Visually, though, I prefer the look of regular raised panel doors for the base as well. For the wall cabinets, I like 18"w cabinets on each side with an open 30" wall cabinet in the middle. A microwave would be in the lower part of the middle cabinet and leave the upper part open for display. Then have small doors immediately below the upper cabinets to the "counter" surface below. How does that sound? Or, should I leave the current set-up in place?...See MoreAnyone have photos of have built-in hutch in cabinetry
Comments (17)Yes, it is a vice---we picked up that work bench at a local antique shop. It is counter height so works well as additional prep space. So far the only thing we've used the vice for is to hang our dish towels! ;-)...See Morewillowdecor

14 years agorjr, the uppers are 36 in. with 6 in. crown above. They are 12 in. deep. The bottom cabinets are 24 in. deep. Whole thing is 63 in. wide.
I also have a pine hutch with a microwave in the top doors and a set of fridge/freezer drawers in bottom (I need a new photo, since we've painted over the white vent):

This hutch was built into my kitchen. I have a hutch in my adjacent dining room also, but not built-in, is a piece of furniture.

4 years agoI need some advice. I have a 9 ft ceiling. What is the standard height for a tower with crown moulding go up from the ceiling? The cabinet is sitting on the counter? How high should the Tower go up on a 9 foot ceiling.?
This in looks dwarf to me. HELP!!!
The left pic is the extra height I’m thinking which the crown moulding is right at bar on my lighting. The right picture is the one I think is too short it I’m not sure.
