Glass doors with wood or glass shelves
Comments (4)If you don't have glass shelves you'll need lights under each self. Otherwise the top shelf will be lit and will block any light getting to the rest of the cabinet. My glass cabinets came with wooden shelves and we special ordered glass ones from a local glass shop, which were delivered a few weeks later. The lighting looked pretty bad until we got the glass shelves in....See MoreAdvice on glass doors/dark wood cabinet shelves in kitchen
Comments (3)As noted lighting and use matter-you can do lighting with wood shelves, just not pucks, need to be strip light on the sides of cabinets. It's the most common interior lighting I use. "...I wouldn't pay for mahogany though." Once at the level of a cabinet where that is available as an option the upcharge should not be significant. With the brand I carry that offers mahogany it is zero upcharge. Nothing matches the grain/look if you're at all particular. Veneer interiors are an upcharge but then so are glass shelves....See MoreSo... Has anyone cut their own glass for kitchen door and shelves
Comments (9)Cutting new glass is relatively easy but we don't anything more than double strength window glass. For thicker glass, I think it would be more practical to order it cut to size. When we had a large plate glass window to replace, we got a great price on the glass cut to size and did the rest of the work ourselves. Much of the full price quote was the transportation and fitting rather than the raw material. The real trick is cutting down old brittle salvaged glass - takes a bit of time but saves a bundle of money. Our glass shop has said they would cut a large mirror for me. I don't know if they would do that for an unknown person but I am a frequent customer. I would order a test piece and see how difficult the project will be and then make the decision. That approach will cost you slightly more but you will then know if your project is practical for your tools, skills and time availability...See MoreBlack bottom cabinets? Open shelving small kitchen
Comments (31)Please note: I DO realize there isn't much cabinet space. We live pretty minimally even for a family. I literally have a few dishes and pans... nothing we don't use is in our current home. We are thinking about an island with storage below... but think it will take up too much space?? We kind of want to see first what we are dealing with first or a chef's prep table. Not sure if that's practical. I want an open airy feel. But my husband likes the black cabinets and the floor color......See MoreDevi
