90% kitchen and need help- how to finish antique cabinet?
Comments (22)You have done a wonderful job! Love your kitchen! I'm in the middle of using milk paint now to paint my cabinets and I can say that I just love it. This is my first experience with it and I want to paint everything in my house with it....but I will restrain myself! I didn't have to prime at all, but you do need to get all the stain and any polyurethane off the cabinet first. Milk paint does the best on wood that has never been painted. There is an adhesive promoter that I bought and added to mine just to make sure it stayed on since my cabinets were stained previously. I have no idea how it will hold up, but so far, so good. I'm not finished with them yet however, so time will tell. Milk paint soaks into the wood, so whatever you do, make sure you will not want it to be stained again, since I think it takes a nuclear bomb to get it off. The company I ordered it from does have a milk paint remover however, but have no idea how that works. I ordered mine from The Real Milk Paint Co. (www.realmilkpaint.com) which is a different place than the link steff_1 gave you, but you can check out both places....See More9' ceilings, cabinets to ceiling - cabinet height?
Comments (17)Thanks for all the responses and pictures! I can't really stagger the heights since I do have piping/PVC in some areas of the existing soffits. My original plan was to stagger until I opened up the soffits! I also do plan to use 15" deep cabinets to add some interest to the depth (center cabinets will be deeper and glass, corner cabinet will be deeper and piece above sink will be recessed slightly). The cooktop is also being bumped out (w/ angled posts) and I will have an apron front stainless sink. I'm hoping that all will add some interest to the cabinets. BTW, the dimension of the kitchen space is 14'x14' but it's wide open to the eat-in area which is around 12'x14' which is then open to a family room I do have a follow-up question though. If I have undercabinet lighting with moulding to cover it, should the 18" from the counter to cabinet be to the bottom of the moulding? That pushes up the cabinets slightly (but doesn't help me with reaching since I'm pretty short!). Thanks!...See MoreDifferent ceiling heights along cabinet wall
Comments (2)Can you just put a special cabinet up high on the 9' ceiling? Maybe glass cabinets. Maybe a shelf to display some antique dishes. The 8' and the 9' ceilings could go all the way up. Mine are different heights due to a sloped ceiling on an outside wall. They are 5" higher in the front than in the back. That let me put antique dishes up there since they will be set close to the glass doors....See MoreAre ceiling height cabinets in the kitchen too much with 11" ceiling?
Comments (54)Oh boy, I'm going to have to agree that might look very out of proportion and top heavy if you take it to the ceiling height of 11'. 132" - 36" base cab - 18" or 20" countertop to upper cab space. So are we talking 6 1/2 feet of upper cabinets??? That's a lot! If you are using a 42" for the first upper, you would have 34-36" left. Am I calculating that right? I remember researching this when I was planning for my stacked uppers. The recommendation for stacked cabinets is about 1/3 over 2/3 for a balanced look. So in your case that would be a 21" cab over your 42" cab. If you did a normal size crown molding on top that would look very nice imho. I would think that would give you plenty of storage. I did have this photo saved and it doesn't look too bad to me. I don't know how tall the ceiling is and they are not the 1/3, 2/3. It may be the ladder rail breaking it up? I think I saved it because I was loving the cabinet color and the cow painting! Lol!...See Moreyeagert
