You are right, Missylin, it would be hard to find a lot of used base cabinets with drawers - unless you live near an affluent area. Believe me, perfectly good kitchens get pulled out. Ones with drawer bases, too. Check out Green Demolitions below and see what people are giving away to charity! Your small kitchen size won't need many cabinets. As a matter of fact, the "Lennox Hill Modern" kitchen toward the bottom has most of the cabinets you need. The base cabinets do work for your space, but there would need to be some creative work done to get the wall cabinets right. The set is made with particle board. Most consider this inferior to plywood boxes. Particle board will often crumble if it gets seriously wet. A plumbing leak can ruin your cabinets. There may, however, be different grades of particle board. High-end European cabinets, especially those with laminate skins, are usually particle board or MDF. This set also would need a granite fabricator to make the island top fit for a regular cabinet run and to do something about the corner. But, for $2500 or so, you would have cabinets and granite. The "City Farmhouse Galley" would fit your space perfectly. It includes all of the appliances, including the counter-depth fridge and the pantry off to the side. You would add the pantry to the side with the range on it. The fridge would go next to the sink side, and you have 120 inches on both sides. Whole kitchen, all appliances (with broken icemaker and stove knob that needs replacement) for under $6000 (plus the cost of transport). Green Demolitions For figuring what cabinets you need, you start with a ten foot run is 120 inches. A fridge is usually 30 to 36 inches, and sink base is usually 30 to 33 inches. A dishwasher is 24 inches. That leaves 36" for drawer cabinets on that side of the kitchen if you use a small sink base and fridge, 27" if you use a large sink and fridge. With 36" you can do 2 18" drawer bases or a trash pull-out and an 18" drawer base. With the larger fridge and sink, you can then get a 24" drawer base and a 3" filler or maybe a 27" drawer base. Or go down to a 30 inch sink and get a 24" drawer base and a 6" tray cabinet. That completes the base cabinets on one side. On the opposite side you will have a 30" range. That leaves 90" for cabinets. You want some big drawers, so I would start with two 30" base cabs with deep drawers. I would then consider a pantry cabinet. You could put two of these pantry pull-outs in that space. Or one of them and a 15" drawer base cabinet. Rev-a-Shelf If a pantry is across from your fridge, you will not really miss the counter space. You will still have 30" of counter on either side of your range. For wall cabs, you just get them to go over each bottom item that will have a cab over it. Does that help you see how to design a kitchen? You can get some graph paper and figure out several possible layouts to fit in your space. Keep the list of cabinets needed for each design handy and then you can watch for kitchens for sale on Craigslist or at the Re-Store, or get a price from any of the big-box kitchen cabinet suppliers. Once you know what size your appliances are, you just fill in the rest with cabinets. You can pick up a kitchen planning guide at Lowes, Ikea, Menards, or Home Depot, so you will know the standard cabinet sizes. Or look at the ones they carry in the store and see what sizes they come in. You have a Habitat Re-Store at 1100 Americana Blvd, Sanford Florida 32773. Phone is 407-688-8874. It is located off 17/92 on Americana beside Wal-Mart. I got that off of an ad that they put in the Orlando Craigslist. They have office furniture that they are advertising today. A Re-Store is a place to buy building supplies, furniture, and home goods in general that have been donated. Most of the stuff is used, but sometimes they get donations of store displays or new items. It is run by Habitat for Humanity to make money for their work. Things like tile and flooring are new, usually. For Craigslist you just pull up the one for the city closest to you and put "kitchen cabinets" in the search box. Check every few days. Today there is one guy selling cheaper builder-grade cabinets that are only a year old. He does not have enough for your kitchen, though. See below. Here is a link that might be useful: 1 year old cabinets and countertop for sale

Usually, but not always, both lowes and HD will meet a price you found on the internet if you bring it in. The layout you do in the ikea kitchen designer doesn't generally include fillers, or matching color end panels (called cover panels). Or decorative trim like crown or light rail. You buy cover panels for all exposed ends. The cover panels are in the designer, but you need to add it to the appropriate cabinets. If you want a door panel, you buy a full height door for a 24" or 12" cabinet. The designer not let you select this piece but your ikean order clerk can. Because they are frameless, you might need to start a run with a small filler - called a starter molding - if the side of the cabinet is against a wall. This insures that your doors and drawers won't hit the wall. The kitchen design price list also includes toe kick covers, countertop and hardware unless you specify not to on each cabinet. Things like hinges, drawers, wire pull outs or shelves show up as separately priced items. Refrigerator enclosures can be made from oven side panels. If you don't like their door styles, you can buy the doors, cover panels, moldings and toe kicks from another company. We bought our doors from scherrs as have many others. The doors took about two weeks to make and ship. For the doors and drawer fronts and a decorative end, we paid about three hundred dollars more than ikea would have charged for the doors and drawers, but we got all solid wood, mitered cherry doors and drawer fronts. We bought the doors finished, but not stained. We added some fillers from a local source. You can also design up your kitchen in the ikea designer or any other way you'd like, but get scherrs to make better quality cabinets for you. The thing with going that way is you can customize the width, height or depth of any cabinet and/or get special pieces made or fancy trim. We had scherrs cabinets in the kitchen that was destroyed and I loved them. They used to be about 1/3 less than Kraftmaid. We ended up doing the blended ikea=scherrs because ikea is less than 30 minutes away and I didn't want to wait even an extra month to special order.

Here's your inspiration photo again, larger for more analysis: Your elements: Paint: I'm not sure why you're worried about the wall color? It's the least of your surfaces, if you're going to do a tiled backsplash. :-) But take a look at Sherwin Williams 'Rainwashed' and Ben Moore's 'Palladian Blue'. Uppers: Scherr's makes simple shaker doors in walnut that can be toned to suit: Lowers: And this Sherr's door in a rift-cut white oak, which gives you some nice movement (either horizontal or vertical) and the richer golden tone that plays off the blue: Tile: Walker Zanger's linear glass mosaic: Is there some reason you can't do a thick concrete counter like the one in the photo? They're not insanely expensive, or you can even DIY it.

As for the "blame game" comment, I'll be happy to address it. IKEA has failed miserably during covid-19 and I say that due to customer service, not simply due to low stock. Try calling them. Just try. There management during this time can't even be classified as sub-par. Place an order, be given a delivery time. Call just to check on it or verify it the date. Let me know if you ever reach an actual person. It is absolutely ridiculous. I get low stock. Although, it really should be improving at this point (every store around here such as Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Tuesday Mornings, etc that had low stock issues before are near fully stocked). During all the closures, I shopped near exclusively online for awhile. Customer service has been top notch *Every* time with the exception of IKEA. They are a nightmare to deal with. In person, they are fine. But not for anything beyond that. Most companies are so thankful for your continued business during this time. IKEA doesn't seem to really care and that's a shame. I will still shop in their store in the future but never online again unless they can improve their customer service front and pick up the phone line, return emails, etc.
