Do you have Upper Cabinets at 90 deg. angle? Pictures?
Comments (14)Joy, I have those. HATE them. I have lazy susans ordered right now to put in them. that two height shelf is a PITA! If you must, get the shelf that is one piece. BUT you will be leaving a trail of bread crumbs to get anything out of the bottom shelf. If there's a pull out or anything at all available to bring the contents out of the cab, seriously consider it. I also have the diagonals on top. I've put lazy susans in there already. I WISH I could change them for the kind blubird has. I'm going to check the price when I'm in Mason Saturday. If it's not take your breath away expensive, I might do that this year....See MoreWhat do you keep in your 12' glass-door, upper cabs?
Comments (9)Hey Danielle and Mairin, I've got the same problem! I've got 4 glass cabs for dishware, all 12" deep. In fact, all my uppers --except for those atop the fridge are only 12" deep. How is it that I had the help of an ID plus the KD at the cabinet vendor and no one thought to bring up the issue of cab depth for oversize items? I certainly didn't think about it! My plan now is to stock those cabs with glasses, bowls, some of my decorative items and some every day coffee mugs, dishes,etc. that can fit. Alas, the oversize items I was hoping to display in there will just have to be seen only when I put them to actual use. C'est la vie! Erika, your solution of the 15 1/2" center bump out cab is a great one. Wish I, or at least someone on my team, had thought of it. Those glass cabs and your pantry look fantastic!...See MoreHow much space do you have between your upper and lower cabs?
Comments (24)I learned something interesting from my contractor when we discussed mounting the wall cabinets a little higher so I could have enough space for certain appliances as well as a light rail. My contractor told me that I'd need to customize the cabinets by either reducing the height of the wall cabinets or increasing the height of the full-height cabinets (like the pantry and double oven cabinets.) Otherwise, mounting wall cabinets higher would result in cabinets where the tops don't line up. jayne p.s. I reduced the height of the wall cabinets to 34 1/2. I probably could have been fine with 35 inches but there's no way I would have known it until the end of the installation so better this way than not being able to cover the undercabinet lighting....See MoreWhat do you put in your 15 inch upper wall cabinets?
Comments (15)I would mark off the interior space on a flat surface (consider if your face frames to block part of the access). Put the stuff you want to store in the taped off area to give you a better idea of what might fit. You might only get one stack of bowls there, and maybe 3 columns of glasses. In my old kitchen, I had a corner cabinet with an angled door that was maybe 15". I used it for glasses. There was plenty of space in the cabinet, but the door really limited access and I hated it. If possible, consider a drawer for smaller spices or else they will be buried behind one another and difficult to locate and access....See Morepeegee
