What should I do about this end? Showplace Cabinets
Comments (20)It is up to the KD- Showplace is obligated to provide specs and answer questions ahead of time. The specs are very clear. IF I were dealing with and did not know what was used to construct the cubby I'd call tech and have an answer in 10 minutes. It certainly sounds like the KD called and asked for a replacement rather than a solution. As I said he should be calling with a possible solution and asking for advice. Faulting Showplace is simply wrong. Attached is a jpeg with a likely solution to your existing problem 1/4" panle trimmed on the front with a "Flat.96" An alternate is decorative end panels but that would involve changing the molding as LWO noted AND you would really want to also have them on the bottom then. I also included one way the cabinet could have been ordered BUT that has other issues. First -dimensions of the wine cubby cannot be altered at all (which is not unusual for that item in most brands. I could order it altered, attached and specify what it was made from and the thickness in a hi end custom brand- at 3 times the cost) So for that solution- extending the sides down the wall cabinets need to be ordered 3" wider than the cubby AND the stile at the sides of the cubby becomes 1-1/2" plus 3/4" or 2-1/4". An alternative is to order the wall cabinet deeper and only 1-1/2" wider- that would hide the outside edge of the cubby. The only other options would have been to do something different (would have been my suggestion); build it completely on site out of parts, or add the panel and the flat as shown in the solution. Note that the solutions to the existing problem OR the alternatives would have cost the OP more money in the first place. The KD is responsible for some accommodation but not the whole ticket. Note that I don't like it either but I can tell you that there will be people who would go "ooh, solid wood, that's great"...one man's ceiling...

Comments (5)The chimney goes up to the ceiling but the cabinets don't. There are several things you can do. You can tile all the way to the ceiling and do a decorative edge at the sides of the tile to finish it. That way the edge continues up. You can shape the tile so that it makes a triangle (without the peak) or arch above the hood, that narrows at the top behind where the chimney goes through the ceiling. This would probably be more attractive, but takes better tiling skills to pull off well. You could tile above the cabinets as well as the whole wall behind the stove. That might look excellent! Or you could go full on artsy and end the tiling below the top of the cabinets with an irregular edge (shaped like waves, flames, or whatever). Or go something like 15" above the top of the hood, following the shape of the top of the canopy. You can do all kinds of different things, but I wouldn't stop the tiling in a straight line at the top of the cabinets. That would look like someone goofed on the measurements. Just about anything else will look intentional, and can be made to work....See MoreNeed Help & Advice for Kitchen Cabinet Painting Issues
Comments (6)I've painted over 3,000 kitchen cabinets and I've never used lacquer. Some guys are married to that stuff and that's why they push it. YOU DO NOT NEED LACQUER. Lacquer is one of several hundred options. A quality 100% acrylic enamel or a hybrid like Advance, Cabinet Coat, etc. work well on kitchen cabinets when the substrate is properly prepared. Properly prepared is super, super clean with Dirtex or Jasco TSP substitute, sanded dull, primed and two coats of quality paint. The paint is probably soft due to excessive coats and improper drying times. Some questions for your painters. 1. What did they use to clean the cabinets? 2. What primer did they use? It should have been D&E specified primer. 3. What is bleeding through? A rough surface? The paint is slow to dry. If there is any dust movement in your house, the finish will be rough. Change the air filters and switch off the furnace during painting....See MoreNeed help - computer design cabinet issue.
