Bosch Nexxt under the counter
Comments (4)Bill, Near the top of the first page of the laundry room forum, just before the listing of threads begin, you will see where it says "On-Topic Discussions [Switch to: Â Gallery]" If you click on Gallery, you can create a new posting, which will allow you to specify an image. You won't be able to add your image until the preview page. I have never seen a Nexxt with a counter built over it! Joe...See MoreExtra Deep Lowers?
Comments (29)Okay! Just got back from cabinet guy, who said no big deal on the 29" deep cab. He said it wouldn't be a problem at all, and it "wouldn't cost but a couple of extra bucks". The fridge in the insp. is a Liebherr, but I'm going with a FD Samsung. I just used that photo for the narrow pullout next to the fridge. Here is the inside of the Samsung I will buy: The bottom, full width drawer is the Cool Select Pantry. It pulls completely out when the doors are open only 90 degrees, because of the openings left on the doors. The two crisper drawers pull ALMOST all of the way out, but if I needed to actually get them completely out, I could take the bins off of the doors and get them out. Does that all make sense? So I am not too worried about not being able to open the one FD all the way. I do have that weird shallow cabinet by the door. The door can't be moved, and if I make it where the door opens flat, I'd have to give up on having that set of full depth drawers on that side. However - the kitchen I tore out had a full depth cab. there, and the door never opened more than about 45 degrees. The kitchen I tore out was installed in 03. With the new cabinet design, the door will not open perfectly, but it will open a lot more than it ever did before. I understand that in a perfect world, the door would open completely, but I am just trying to get a workable, non-rotten kitchen at this point. I am hopefully not too far away from putting the deposit on the cabs! I am starting to get really excited! Thanks everyone for your help!...See MoreKitchen remodel ideas please! Range/Built-ins? Wall angles?
Comments (8)What is behind that angled wall? Is it necessary to leave the hallway entrance into the kitchen? I think you will end up needing to close it off, at least with a half-wall. Is there another entry to the kitchen? From the eating area - does that connect to the living room or family room? WAIT A MINUTE! The wall BEHIND your wall oven / neighbor's range is NOT actually angled, is it? Your neighbor simply cut out the middle of the wall oven build-out and put in a range so they could put a D/W next to it? That is totally Bizarre! If that is the case that angled build-out is completely superfluous! Now, is that a DOOR behind your fridge? Where does / did that lead? And what is next to the fridge? The back of a closet? OK, based on what I see, I would do the following. BUT, we REALLY need a full first-floor floorplan. That kitchen cannot be fixed unless we can see what rooms attach to it from where (especially bathroom / laundry with plumbing). Where is the back door? Front Door? Living Room, Dining Room? Where does the hallway lead? So, just looking at those pics I would first put in a D/W next to the sink! Then I would close off the entry from the hallway, knock out that closet next to the fridge and put a larger entry from the Living Room into the eat-in area. I'd extend cabinets along the fridge wall as far as possible. If that wall actually IS angled behind the oven built-in I'd put in a corner prep sink. I'd turn your cooktop into prep counter with cabs underneath, put more counter and cabs where the hallway is, put a new range where that closet is, a small cab and counter and then shift the fridge over. I'm asumming there is a LR entrance down there somewhere. Alternatively I'd get rid of the table and chairs and extend the window wall cabs and counters and put the range on that wall with the breakfast peninsula further into the room. Still put a prep sink in the angled corner, but keep the fridge where it is. We NEED a layout, and good measurements. Also windows in kitchen - where are they, what size and how far up from the floor do they begin? Also some more pics, please. A picture from the hallway looking at the sink area. A picture from the sink area looking down the hallway. A picture from the garage door (I assume next to the cooktop is a garage) looking towards the eating area. A picture from the kitchen looking at the Living Room (or whatever it connects to) doorway. A picture from the kitchen looking at the back door. You have your work cut out ahead of you, but with just a bit of tweaking that odd space can be greatly improved....See Moreextra deep counters
Comments (6)We are having the counters on one side 27" deep, i.e. 3" deeper than standard. Our base cabinets are the standard 24" deep, and we pulled them out 3" from the wall. And don't forget that your granite overhang will add an additional 1-1/4" or so. We don't have them installed yet, but we are anticipating more roomy countertops. Our coffee maker, toaster, etc., won't be crowding the counter workspace either. Also, we have a Kitchenaid dishwasher. The Kitchenaid DW's tend to stick out a little, not be flush with 24" deep cabinets. But it won't be a problem for us cause our cabinets are pulled out. Furthermore, our uppers will be 15" deep, i.e. also 3" deeper than standard. I have seen a number of threads on this forum complaining of 12" deep uppers that don't fit their dishes or platters. Won't be a problem with our 15" uppers. Our kitchen is small, which is why we are doing the deeper counters on only one side. Here are a couple more threads for you to read: Thread about Base Cabinets Depth Thread about Upper Cabinets Depth...See Morealiris19
