How do I mix white and natural wood cabinets?
Comments (47)Wendy: that's certainly an even harder combo to find: a galley kitchen with a unique painted/wood cabinet mix! Thanks so much for thinking of me and sharing it! :) arialvetica: you rock! Wow did you find lots of great inspiration photos! I especially like that kitchen by Tineke Trigg. I've saved all the photos I could find of that kitchen and the adjoining dining room. I still haven't 100% confirmed what the final design will be but I do really want to bring in some bold colour somewhere! I love that comment your builder made about your KD. Ha ha......See MoreUpdating my late 90s kitchen with weird peninsula - help!
Comments (21)Cool, Anglophilia. I didn't get a KD for my new kitchen because I (like you) didn't trust HD or other big boxes on doing it, and nor did I seem (as far as I know/knew) to have a KD in this area not associated with a line or so of products that I'd be forced into choosing from. Instead, I basically utilized the resources here at the Kitchen Forum to hone down some of my thought processes, and they helped me make a better kitchen than I would otherwise have created on my own. (Under counter drawers; ice, water, stone, fire; landing spot before fridge, induction range, a prep sink, even the brand of sink I went with... a few other things like the entry to the pantry...) Yes, I didn't take every bit of advice, but I certainly appreciated it all. If I knew of a reliable KD in my area who I knew up front (this is hard to determine...) wasn't promoting his or her own line, I may have considered. And again, as long as I have the choice to do certain specific elements to my own needs, after fully considering suggestions I will usually take, a KD could be very useful. EDIT: As of this date, are there things I wish I had done that I neglected? No. Well, discounting the things the GC didn't do that I requested, but I'm so done with 98% of the build (most right but ... ) that I no longer care about those little specific things... place for vertical pans... the amount of drawers vs cabs I originally specified... I gotta remain focused elsewhere....See MoreName of style? 80s or 90s cabinets
Comments (10)Fori, The goal is to get everything done before we move in, but that won't be until the end of June. We are expecting to close sometime beginning of May, so we'll have about a month and a half to get stuff done. I am also waiting to see what the inspector says about some water damage to the cabinets that are under the sink. If those have to go, then everything might just need to go. We'll see. I'm just brainstorming for now, in case we end up keeping them. The cabinets in that post I've definitely seen before. I'll have to take a closer look and see if there's any way to tell if there's melamine under the slab part of the door, which from what I'm understanding, is what you are suggesting. I guess the main thing I don't like about the style is they were never made with the intention of having hardware installed. The handle is already "built in" so installing a handle of any kind seems awkward, and I don't know where it would go. Which is why I was searching for other people's upgrades of this style. But apparently if anyone else ever had them, they've thrown them all out, since they don't seem to exist anywhere else on the internet! Thanks again :)...See MoreBuying a old 90s house and need advice on how to start
Comments (14)Thank you @arcy_gw. It is 1996 :) I am not familiar with houses always gone with builder built ones ready made. And I am now thinking of going from 2010s house to 1996 .... I am doing something out of my comfort zone and maybe can't express it well. I find the style old - it has sunken living, family and basement etc. But it has been renovated from inside with white cabinets, beautiful white stone in kitchen etc. It is not my style but its pretty, sophisticated neat look. In this house - majorly I would like to improve the backyard. Backyard is still ok. You see there is this green level area in the picture. Hmm.. even that has 1 inch up and down...not sure why. Do you see the brown line which is the fence with a deep 2 feet to 5 feet at some place land gone to waste with just useless vegetation. Can't i fill the dirt and level it and get a decent size backyard i am only concern about the backyard.....the windows etc may or may not come... The family room has 2 storey windows..i will change my life style and enjoy quite mornings there ..maybe....See MorePink Poppy
