Ikea Kitchens. Am I missing something?
Comments (84)Caryscott, thanks for the info on Canac! Wow, I'm so relieved I didn't actually go ahead with this line - wouldn't have even gotten the one-year warranty on them! LOL! Just to add my two cents to this thread, I ended up getting Kraftmaid cabinets (from an independent dealer, who's given me terrific pricing and service). I considered Ikea, but I'm not really into the "Italian" kitchen look, I needed design help, and I don't think I would have been able to get the size customizations I needed for my tiny galley kitchen. (One side of my kitchen has 19" reduced depth base cabinets.) I had actually wanted frameless in order to maximize usable space, but couldn't find a frameless line with a finish I liked. I finally went with Kraftmaid even though it was framed because their Ginger Glaze finish was the one that attracted me over and over again when I went to look at cabinets. (I was much more inflexible about certain details like finish color than I ever dreamed I'd be - learned a lot about myself in this renovation!) Anyway, I'm happy with the quality of the Kraftmaid cabinets. I got to inspect them in quite a lot of detail due to the problems and duration of my kitchen renovation, so I have some idea what the quality difference might be between them and a high end cabinet line. But for the money I paid, I think they're quite good. I'm sure - I *know* - Ikea would have been much less money, but it wouldn't have done what I needed it to. For those for whom it works - that's fantastic. I have a friend at work who did his ultra-modern kitchen using Ikea boxes and custom doors. It looks gorgeous. There's no single right answer for everyone. :-) Oh, and I love Target too! Got my bamboo silverware organizer there - they were the only place that had one that would fit my very shallow depth drawers, it was *beautifully* constructed (better than the expensive ones I saw), and it was cheap. Can't ask for more!...See MoreHelp! Where Should We Add Cover Panels/Crown? (PICS)
Comments (9)Thank you All for your help and advice!! It looks like I'm getting a mini crown after all! Now we just need to pick either #5 or #7. Can't wait for DH to mock them up tonight! :) oldhouse1: Thanks for your reply and vote! You're right, the Ogee crown is not paint matched yet; I agree that it will look better when it is. I just saw pics of your kitchen - it is Gorgeous!! I wanted to paint Tidaholm too (it's my favorite Shaker look - lovely, elegant stiles and rails), but we're on a shoestring budget. Love your cabinets' furniture feet, shelves with brackets and your ironstone collection (furniture feet and brackets under the cabinet ends have been on my wish list for DH, and I'm just starting my ironstone collection - I have one pitcher and creamer so far). In some places it looks like you did not use a side cover panel. How did you handle that? Did you leave the side as is, or maybe paint it and hide the space against the wall somehow? kmmh: Thank you for your reply! I'm leaning towards those two as well. Actually, more than leaning - it's officially down to just those two! :) chiefy76: #5 is one of my favorites! (It looks like DH has his work cut out for him - we're getting a crown, hooray!) Thanks so much for your vote!...See MoreHere it is.... my 99.5% finished IKEA kitchen
Comments (51)Hi Caligal, Thanks for sharing your beautiful kitchen with us! I am admiring your pendant ceiling lighting - may I ask the brand and where you purchased it? I've searched the web and haven't stumbled on anything similar.. I'm currently planning my own IKEA Kitchen and the photos of your kitchen have really inspired me. Thanks so much!...See Moredifferences in quality between ikea styles cabinets?
Comments (31)I have veddinge and I have posted about it before. The problem with it is when you drill the doors to put the knobs. Drill a tiny hole first and do not put any tape. I put the tape thinking it will prevent chipping, but instead, tape took off the paint with it. Lessons learned. My kitchen still looks fine, but that is because I try to be careful with it. My next Ikea kitchen will have some wood-like finish, something like this one: TORHAMN. It is a natural looking wood. I believe, you can can have doors professionally painted to the color you want. So, it it chips, you can always fix it with a little paint touch up. Also, this has Shaker style, which is timeless. Your kitchen will never go out of style unlike all the trendy doors....See Moresusanlynn2012
