unfitted kitchen - can't find post

13 years ago

I'm a little under the weather today, and despite searching and looking back thru' 9 pages of posts, I'm unable to find post the post I want. It's about using furniture in the kitchen for a vintage, unfitted kitchen look. There were a number of follow-up responses (there's a vintage kitchen post with only one response; it's not that one) I forgot to grab a photo from one of the links, and now I really, really want to add it to an inspiration file. Many thanks to anyone who can find it!

I don't know about the post, but a few days ago they had a ad you could click on that showed pictures of kitchens. In the group was an English kitchen that had free standing cabinets. In other words, each cabinet was an individual unit, freestanding and not attached to the others. That is the European style, where you can take your cabinets with you when you move.

Here is one. But I thought there was one much longer.

I echo the praise of BM Matte! I had to scrub my kitchen/living room walls sooner than 30 days and it held up, plus touch ups after some new texture blended in well. If I'm remembering your post right and you had lots of kid traffic, though, I *might* be tempted to go up to BM eggshell. Might. Love the look of matte, though, so I might try it even with kids. The new Clark + Kensington is formulated with ceramic bead technology, too, as I'm sure are some other brands' new formulations. I've been fairly impressed by C+K so far (the flat enamel finish isn't quite as rich as the BM Matte, but quite nice for the price point), but I haven't had to scrub my flat enamel bedroom walls yet to offer personal testimony in that arena.

Sorry its been quite a while since I've been on the forum. I've completed our kitchen and I can't get myself to leave. I received a message from flynm2 hopefully you'll see this. In response to your question below ****I was curious about how the cabinets are holding up? I am thinking of getting the Diamond Prelude as well (same color actually) in maple wood. Are you pleased with the quality and durability? Also, it looks like that is A 30 inch sink cabinet. If so, was it tough finding a big enough sink? Thanks. By the way, your kitchen looks great! Qls flynm2 Flynm2 - I'm very pleased with the quality, durability and look of the cabinets. I have not had an issues with them at all. They look rich and beautiful in our new kitchen. The sink cabinet is a 33" cabinet and I was able to purchase my sink online at overstock.com, it fit perfectly. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Ticor-Undermount-Kitchen-Sink-Stainless-Steel-16-Gauge-Single-Bowl/3666381/product.html?cid=95138&fp=f Hopoe this helps. If you have any othere questions regarding the cabinets, please let me know. thanks! here are a few more updated pictures.

Can't wait to see pics of your workbench! I wish either of mine had a similar history but found both while antiquing. I really enjoy both of mine. Both of the following pics (as well as above pic) were early on during putting kitchen together so excuse the mess and unfinished windows. Another view: Another smaller workbench incorporated in by the back door. I had purchased this one first and was using as an island when I found the larger one and fell in love with it. I was lucky we were able to incorporate both into the kitchen. Hopefully, one day when we get everything done DH will clear his work stuff off and it will be a great landing place when bringing groceries in.

Here is a link to Smaller Homes discussing the same. I can't find the one you are looking for either, at least we both know it exists.
