Comments (5)Welllll...pictures would help but I think it's possible that it might look just fine. Your island is different, so your style might accept a bit more character than if everything was the same. I'd be tempted to go with dark hinges to match the rest of the hardware instead of trying to hide it with white hinges. Embrace the hinges? It might also be possible to cut down your pullouts so that they function with the new hinges....See MoreReplating kitchen cabinet hinges?
Comments (11)Replating is a rather involved process and is somewhat labor intensive. First they have to strip the old finish, then polish, then do a copper flash to fill imperfections, brush the finish, and then they can do the nickel plate. Make sure that you give them extra screws because sometimes these get lost, and you will want the screw heads to match. Quality varies greatly from plating company to another, and so it is good to have references for the plater you choose. You could choose a cheaper plated finish, but it will not look as nice. You definitely do not want to paint the hinges. You could strip them and do an antique finish on them, but that will look very dark.

Comments (2)I had a lower easy reach corner cabinet in my previous home, and am putting one in my new kitchen. I have also have experience with an angled corner cabinet, and a lazy Susan, and much prefer the easy reach cabinet. Mine had a single hinged door, which worked fine. The only problem I had with the hinged door was that it butted up against my range(it was a tiny kitchen!). My cabinets were melamine, and I had a tendency to over stuff that cabinet so the door didn't shut perfectly. When it didn't shut perfectly, it was closer to the range than it should be, and the door ended up delaminating. It likely was a cheap cabinet to begin with. Because my range isn't close to the corner in my new kitchen, and because I won't need to stuff this one as I have more storage, I decided to go with it again. I think the key to being happy with this cabinet style is ensuring that the opening is wide enough to easily access items. The door never felt awkward to me, but then it wasn't full height. One thought is to stack a few easy reach cabinets so you don't have one large door?...See Moretnx8
