Can/should I make this Sub-Zero work in my 1826 kitchen remodel?
Comments (2)I'd change it and add a shelf for your cookbooks, maybe a plant. Do you have enough storage elsewhere to get rid of the upper cabinet, entirely? Your kitchen is great and I think the smaller fridge with the strip of granite will make the area feel much less crowded. Good idea :)...See MoreHacking IKEA cabinets
Comments (23)You guys are soooo awesome! Tre...thanks for your advice & understanding my language! I have a feeling you're a really patient guy! spanky, no reason as to why cutting width weakens the integrity of the cabinet. But, after hearing all this great advice, including yours, I'm feeling much better now & am still going forward w/ it! You'll be the 1st to know if I find out why in my experience, tho! MizLizzie & scrappy, I am on w/ the blue tape! I've actually heard about that. My friend that's helping me brought that up last weekend. tbo, I like your idea of making the 1st cut not very deep & then flipping the board over to finish off. Great ideas! mouson & spanky, thank you for admitting you didn't know what to cut a little tree down w/ either! I can just picture both scenarios...thanks for the laughs! I'm not sure I'd know a hacksaw from a carpenter saw if they were both in front of me! If it has teeth & saws back & forth, it doesn't work on everything? I actually thought it was me & not the saw up until now! :) You guys are great. I'm feeling much more at ease now & can't wait to show my friend all of this great advice!...See MoreAfter 5.5 months I have running water in the kitchen!!!!!
Comments (27)babushka_cat, I would love to see a picture of your beautiful kitchen when it is complete! I have a question about your kitchen cabinets. I read in another post that they are painted BM Simply White. I would like to know if the are a flush inset cabinet without the bead? I am trying to decide what I want. I have a list what I felt I must have but after getting prices, I am now seeing what I an live without and what is a must for me. I wanted the recessed panel inside the drawer but yours without it is beautiful also. I love your marble counters and your kitty cats!...See MoreCan I hack a trash pull-out from an Ikea 15 inch depth cabinet base
Comments (19)The left is mounted on the side panel and the right is mounted on a special piece that IKEA sold for this application. Don't know if they still sell it, but I'm sure it could be reproduced. The center piece is basically a 1 1/2" piece of MDF that extends the depth of the cab and is secured at the back and front to the bottom of the cab. It functions as a short cab wall and I have a drawer rail mounted on both sides. In your case you could position in where you need to achieve your right wall. I hope I'm explaining this clearly enough, but hope this pic helps. I can take more pix tomorrow if that will help you. IKEA under sink pullouts...See MoreLisa
