Bigger sink cabinet or spice pull-out?
Comments (16)What if you did a blind corner pullout instead of the 15" cabinet & super susan to the right of the range? (See link below) You could have the cabinet people make the cabinet front into a faux set of drawers to visually match the drawers on the left side of the range to get your symmetry. The door would be hinged on the right and open toward the sink wall. My Mom did this in almost the exact same scenario at the corner (- the faux drawer front) & it works great. Then you could also have a bigger spice pullout next to the sink. We have a large spice pullout (15" wide & 3 tiers) & it holds our salt, pepper, cooking oil, non-stick spray, flavorings, spices, sprinkles, etc. I don't think they called it a spice pullout though--maybe an undercounter pullout pantry? Ours does have a faux front with a drawer over cabinet look to make it symmetrical with the other side of the range. I would see about changing the exterior of the spice pullout to look like a cabinet vs. a column as there is no matching column on the other side of the sink which makes it look awkward & out of place to me. Unless you're going with a large D-shaped sink, I would be tempted to eliminate the cabinet on the end of the sink run, slide the DW down to the end & enlarge the sink to a 36" base that would allow for a very nice size double sink. Overall, I really like your plan. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Blind Corner Pullout...See MoreWho makes 4.5" base cabinet "spice" pull-out?
Comments (4)Just got off the phone with Hafele on another issue, and it was explained to me that they have many, many parts in stock that are no longer in their catalogs or on their website. He recommended that we hang on to all catalogs forever . . .so we can go back and reference old parts that they may still have, but no longer advertise. He actually directed me to a page on Amazon to see what it looked like (rather than their own website). Weird. I can't imagine why they would do this . . .but they do....See Morespices in bottom pullouts not liking?
Comments (2)I agree with you. If you have the space for them in a drawer or upper cabinet, I think it would be much easier to see the smaller spice containers. Having said that, a bottom pull out may be good for larger spice containers or oils, or maybe the pullout could be used for tray storage or something else?...See MoreSpice Pullouts
Comments (15)We had the same problem with inset cabinets and 9" spice pull outs on top of the counter on either side of the hood. So, we made the choice to order those cabinets and the ones above as frameless style with the same door. The inner cabinet is much roomier. However, the main reason we chose to do it was the 9" inset door couldnt' have the recessed panel detail and I would have hated to see those as slab doors in our kitchen. Anyway, the frameless look great and they are 15" deep so they stand out from the adjoining cabinets and you don't even notice they are different. The one minus is that they came later than the rest of the cabinets and the stain was much lighter so we are waiting for replacement doors. Sorry, no pictures to share yet......See Moremelaska
