Thanks for the good ideas and thoughts. Quiltgirl thanks for the Houzz pictures -- I've been on that site for hours today looking for such images! I had also thought about the valence -- but not sure it'll work with a corner cab -- and the beadboard which I do think would help. Funny my KD didn't even suggest it, but I think she's anxious for me to go ahead and make my decision! We've made a lot of changes to the original plans over the past several weeks, though most of them were instigated by her. My husband is worried the open shelve might get messy -- since I actually use my teapots and cups and other pretty things, and I guess I worry that I'll get tired of it and then it'll be too late. So we are going to go with closed. I still wish I could decide last minute, but I don't want to bother with having to repaint my new cabinet shelves/interior if I decide I don't like it. Am thinking of putting a shelf on the wall opposite the sink, which is the walkway through the kitchen. And then I can put my teapots up there! (Except the few I use regularly.)

My cabinets were all installed but hte doors hadn't been hung yet, when the hardware I ordered arrived. So I laid out all the doors and drawer fronts on the living room floor, and positioned the handles all sorts of different ways. We did all handles for the lowers, and though considered knobs on uppers, went with handles in the end. For reference, I have shaker frame cabinets similar panel-shapes to yours. We don't have any 4-drawer stacks, it's all 3-drawer, so one narrow top drawer (7") and two deep bottom drawers (11"). Anyway, I tried three different layouts, took photos, and showed my friends. 1. each bar goes close to the top edge, in the center of the smooth frame. (2.25" frame, so ~1.125" from top of drawer) 2. each bar goes in the center of the drawer panel (~3.5" for top drawer, 5.5" for bottoms) 3. Look at the top drawer to get 3.5" from top edge, same placement on each drawer. So the top handle is centered, the bottom handles are offset toward the top but still on the panel, not the frame. Option 3 was the universal favorite. The high handles of 1. looked crowded and awkward to me. Someone commented on #2 that it "looks like a dresser instead of kitchen drawers", which I found really illuminating, a good articulation of why I didn't like it, even though that was the one I wanted to like. Although the logic of choice 3 felt kind of silly when we were measuring it out, it turned out looking really nice. The door handles were turned vertical, and placed on the frame, not the panel, so not at all lined up with the heights of hte horizontal handles. Does it sound like it doesn't match at all? I was surprised at how natural it looks. And the trash pullout with the horizontal handle doesn't bug me at all. In short, pick the hardware you like, and don't sweat the placement until you can test it all out in person and take some photos. Also, different cabinet door size/shape may want the handle in a different place, so don't get bogged down doing it by the numbers.

@flseadog, that is exactly the situation we have. If you do a magic corner, you need to reserve some of the 21" for filler at the corner to allow the door/drawer on the opposite side of the corner to open, so you're right, you need a solution that takes a door size of 19" or less (maybe you could swing 19.5" but I'd worry about clearances there). We're using an 18" door + drawer with 3" of wiggle room. I believe Magic Corner I will work (checked the specs again after this thread!) and Magic Corner II will not work. There are also a bunch of other solutions that will fit, but that don't take very good advantage of the blind space. (Most require a 36" cabinet with 15" door, so if, say, you're us and you have room for an 18" door with a 45" cabinet---you don't use most of that space with any of the gadget solutions.) Without knowing your daughter's layout, I'd still say it's probably worth it to do a blind corner of some variety over a susan and preserve space for the drawer banks. That's the reason we didn't look at any susan solutions---it wasn't worth it to lose the drawers. Any corner solution is going to be inferior to drawers as a storage space, in my view. The last option is to ignore the corner completely and just use a bank of drawers on each side with empty space in the corner---most useful if you have an option of accessing that space from the other side (another room, etc.)

"How much for this option in Pulte home (FL)?" Only way to get that info is to ask Pulte but more than likely a minimum of 1.5 what it is worth and not sure I would let a tract home window installer even think about installing one of these...........................
