Unbelievable high-end Ikea kitchen (and how to paint Ikea cabs)
Comments (45)Stacyneil - Great posting and picture. When I look at this picture, I definitely think high end...and then see it's from Ikea!!!! It is gorgeous! And Natschultz you wrote "Seriously! Why, and I am dead serious here, do people WILLINGLY spend close to a year's salary on a kitchen redo and SETTLE for cabinets that are NOT MADE TO LAST? Why do I feel like the ONLY person on the planet that finds the cost of crap cabinetry ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS?!?!?" My father taught me alot of things in my 40+ years....one of the most important is - Never count anyone's money. Meaning it's not your place to tell people (or consumers) where to spend THEIR money. If someone wants to spend 5K on a new kitchen it is their choice, as the same if someone wants to spend 150K. I'm pretty sure no one asked for your opinion on how much they should spend on their kitchen. And I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you are definitely showing your ignorance by blasting all kitchen designers based on a few articles you have read or have experience with. The harshness in your words are really not appreciated on a forum that offers so much help and assistance to many many people. I'm apologizing to you now.....does that make it all ok?!?!?!...See MoreIkea BCC lazy Susan storage ideas
Comments (7)Well, we don't have a separate pantry big enough for "everything." We have baking supplies in the baking area, cereal and crackers in the area we use for breakfast prep, etc., oils and vinegars in the upper near the cooktop. Plus we don't have a lot of stuff in cans, so it only stores canned tomatoes, tuna, maybe some beans for when we don't have time to cook them. I guess I've never done meal planning based on looking at what's available, though. We just replace the staples that we always have whenever we run out (ideally, anyway.) But I don't have 4 kids at home, so I'm sure that's a whole different story! But if you store just one category there, it could work. You are right about the plastic container storage, though. We have ours there in our current kitchen and it is one of those things that's changing in the new house. Blasted things are always spinning off into the corner....See MoreNeed help finding interior dimensions of IKEA storage cabinets
Comments (3)All their kitchen cabinets had the dimensions of each piece and the assembly instructions, so I would assume the besta line would too. Your answer would just take some simple math....See Morethe beginning: IKEA kitchen reno. Guide me, wise ones!
Comments (18)If your bay window is cantilevered out and not holding up a second floor bay... Would you rather have island seating than a breakfast nook? It would be a much bigger project, of course. It looks like you may have the room for it. I've proposed this for other folks and this image is the first example I found. In your case, the range and the clean up sink would trade places, so you you might see the range flanked by windows from the front door instead of your pretty table and windows. Just thought I'd toss this out there......See Moreremodelfla
