Installing and Adjusting European-Style Cabinet Hinges
Comments (3)You're missing a few things off your list. 1. Blum drill jig (about 200 plus dollars. Accurately drills all three holes in seconds) 2. A tape measure (there's enough up and down adjustment in those hinges to calculate and install the base plate without holding up the door using #3. 3. Small Blum drilling template for position of base plate screws. 4. Beer is to be consumed after job is complete and you are admiring your work....See MoreHow To Use Ikea to Get a Custom Kitchen (High Quality)
Comments (77)clg7067 gave a link to let you begin your "hardware store" style purchases. Piece by little piece you get the thingies you need. Here is an example. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/94382010/ cabinet sans anything. "Base cabinet frame". The cost is small. Here is a list of other important parts. Use Google to start, if the Ikea search fnctions poorly. 701-070-69 RATIONELL = shallow drawer 24" 101-070-72 RATIONELL = 30" 901-099-77 RATIONELL = 24" wide drawer of the "deep" kind 001-070-82 RATIONELL = 30" 801-070-83 RATIONELL = 36" Web searching works without the hyphens too. 90109977 RATIONELL 00107082 RATIONELL 80107083 RATIONELL For $25 - $35 you get ALL this: Blum glides, Blum Tandembox drawers sides, Blum metal panel for the drawer back (unique to Ikea in North America) and a chipboard drawer floor, all ready to slip together. Snap and clip. No glue required. Yes, the drawer is fully extendable. Then, you add the front you wish to add, onto the un-fronted drawer. The Blum clips to screw to the Blum drawer side can be ordered anywhere for less than $1 each. These clips hold your chosen drawer front onto the drawer. Any front will do. Buy from anywhere, or make your own....See More100"x125" U-shaped Ikea kitchen needs layout help
Comments (17)Alrighty, here's design #3. You're not wrong about the budget, Carolina Kitchen ;) The running total is at $4,160 right now, but including a pantry cabinet would push it higher. We're cutting quite a bit of costs by doing a builder grade maple butcher block countertop and cheap $2-3 / sq ft ceramic tile for the walls and floor. It's still tight though. For that reason alone I'll probably have to ditch the pantry. I agree that it looks like valuable storage in your kitchen though, Janie! Wine cabinet is gone, I agree. The trash pull out in that pic is spot on - that's the exact model I was looking at (Rev-a-Shelf, correct?) and I was thinking we could add it later if we don't have the cash now. We compost and recycle most of our waste, and barely fill our trash once a week currently. I do think the drawers would have to just be junk drawers and office supplies. I replaced the two drawers with one large one, maybe that will be more useful? It could hold trash bags, big packs of batteries, etc. That's too funny that the farmhouse sink might be pretentious. I will graciously accept that opinion and probably do it anyway. I just like how they work! I love sinks that are full counter depth and don't leave a strip of counter in the back or front to get soaked with water. It also makes the most sense for us with butcher block countertops to have the sink that is least likely to get the counter wet. In this new design, it's moved 8.25" away from the corner which is as far as we can get with the current plumbing. Not sure what to do with those 8.25" though. The bottom of the range hood is 32" above the cooktop. Is that too high? My husband is 6' 2" and always complains about ours now which is 29" above....See MoreIkea Maximera drawers as ROTs in existing cabinets?
Comments (13)Thanks, dtrivino! Those are nice top drawer organizers but what she really needs are ROTs for the base cabinets. We could remove the middle rail but it would have to be attached to one of the cabinet doors to cover the gap between the doors (they are partial overlay with an inch between doors). That's how the base cabinet with ROTs is set up. I could probably sweet talk my DH into doing this. I could also do it but he has more years of experience using a sawsall or similar tool for the job so he'd probably do a clear cut. Definitely something worth considering....See Morepatagonia2
