Stacked Cabinets 36 + 12 - pictures?
Comments (11)I whole-heartedly agree with not doing anything that's 12". If you really care about function (and not just form, that is) you're far better off to do 30 + 18. I like the look of hope's cabinets because they're not glass in this case. They don't interrupt my eye with a tiny cabinet border. To me, it's all glass up there or nothing! I have 8' ceilings (and given the sag, some lower where I have to cut the ceiling out to accommodate my cabinets. (re: shoe horn comment) Anyway, I'm going 30+12 simply because that's all my ceiling will allow. I have absolutely no plan to try to wedge anything into those dumb, 12" cabinets. But I like the stacked cabinet look. I believe 18" is standard between counter top and cabinets, though, not 15"....See MoreNon-matching wall ovens: to stack or not to stack
Comments (8)I have both of these ovens, though at opposite ends of the kitchen. I think they'll look fine for kitchen purposes, stacked, but it will be a functional look, rather than a particularly designed one, which means that it won't be the greatest in the position of interest. Not bad, but like a car with the hood up, showing the works. Suggestion--rather than "filler" put a shallow drawer between for the Advantium trays. That's something I learned from people before me here to make the Advantium more useful and convenient, even without the threat of filler. You could face the drawer with stainless to tie the ovens together, or do something decorative with it, or match it to the cabinetry. Another suggestion: Since you have the trim next to the ovens, maybe you could add some kind of doors or screens that will hide the ovens when they're not in use. Both ovens are pretty short, and, especially since you're tall, can be mounted higher than others. If you put them side by side in the pantry area they'd be conveniently located, and if you have them at chest height, which is good for tending them and pulling things out, you'll preserve a lot of your prime pantry storage. You'd lose the division line between the top and bottom cabinets matching the counter line, but it would work nicely. Also, you might see if you can change out your 30" combi-steam for the 24" one, if it's to be plumbed. They have exactly the same guts and cavity size. The 30" one is only that width to match the single, as in the picture (though I think only the 30" has the tank option). A really good option, however, to preserve your pantry design, would be to just say forget it, it's a kitchen, and let it look the way it's going to look to make it function well for you....See MoreKitchen Stacked Cabinets and Window
Comments (3)Sophie, no they won't go to the soffit because the stacked cabinets are already 18 inches tall. Anything taller would have looked out of balance to me with the 40 inch uppers. With a 5 inch trim/molding, we will still be about 12 inches from the soffit....See MoreNeed help with dry bar upper double stacked cabinet layout
Comments (3)sheloveslayouts – I guess we could do that. I was just concerned that a wall of all 36" cabinets would look odd (although my current configuration probably doesn't look any better). Raimondi – Agree that we need to push for more available sizes. If we are able to access other sizes, what would you recommend?...See Moretjc1962
