I must have not hit "submit", darn. Here goes again:

If you have the room and the inclanation. Put a 30" wide x 15" deep base, with at least one 15" high drawer, near the doorway. Then, a void for a counter high desk chair, to fit. Then something that would provide shelving transition or wine rack to the 24" base cabs. So this part of the run might end up 60". I put in a 30" wide x 15" base in our office. In the 15" high drawer on the bottom, I can put 4 each, of the 6x12" office hanging file boxes that you get at office supply stores for 15 to 20 dollars each. The interior of those 15" depth drawers are 12". The width of the 30" wide drawer is about 26". The sides of these drawers are sloped, so you lose width.

Thanks to both lenzai and enduring for your suggestions. I will for sure only do a door (no drawer) on the transition piece. Enduring, I know you've worked with the new Ikea line (and have done a FABULOUS job) so I was hoping you would weight in!

I was thinking of using a wall cabinet - a corner cabinet to be specific and it does come in 30" and 40" heights. That cabinet is 26" wide, but if my math is right, the angled door section only needs a width of 11" (26" less 15" depth of adjoining side cabinet). I'm guessing the actual door is 15" (or 18" ?) wide. If we cut it down on one side just to the edge of the door opening, it would give an angled cabinet. Does that sound like it would work? We would basically just eliminate one side panel and then cut off a section of the back panel of the cabinet. Of sourse it would probably be pretty worthless for storage but only aboiut 12" of wall width would be required.

I should have mentioned that I really do not have that much space in total to work with on that section - in order to have the sink base centered under the existing window (cannot be moved), I have a total of 48 inches to the right of the sink cabinet to work with - including filler. And I was hoping to get a decent size drawer stack there next to the sink. So I really need to keep the transition cabinet as thin as possible.

Search through the various cabinets, I have a similar issue looking for narrow base cabinets and some are in 15" depths.

Thanks Kippy - I do plan to use the 15" deep base cabinets next to the door but looking for a way to transition the base cabinets from the 15" depth to the std 24" depth.

Hi Numbersjunky. I'm looking to do the same hack (I will have about 20" width) & your idea sounds like it would do well. Did it end up working? Did you have any trouble cutting down the corner cabinet to size?

We have not tried it yet. Remodel is scheduled for the fall, but i want to buy some boxes and have DH see what he can do. I'm now thinking we will modify regular base cabinets. I figure we will need to determine the cabinet width based on a standard door size and the offset. Will post results when we know how it works.
