Open shelves under an upper cabinet
Comments (19)Wooh we're in the middle of a blizzard! Being trapped inside makes me want to cook. Herbflavor~I originally had wanted everything in drawers, but my kitchen will be around 8'x10' so I was trying to free up as much space as possible to make sure I don't have to store things in the basement or something. I was testing last night on my toaster oven which happens to be be the exact height and depth of the (maybe floating shelves) I would use, and it was perfect for my arms reach. I store my mixing bowls under counter (although not in a drawer), and it's a pain. I use a lot of mixing bowls. Needinfo1~I know my little place will be far from Parade of Homes worthy. It is a very modest little house (960 sq ft), and the little U shaped kitchen will NOT be open to the living room. It will be nice to not have to worry about keeping my kitchen amazingly beautiful so I can really cook. Oh, and did I mention I'm a messy cook. : (...See MoreOpen shelves combined with cabinets?
Comments (0)Hi all: We are thinking about combining open shelves with cabinets. Basically we will be centering our sink under a window.

Comments (6)Is the subfloor wet or is that grease? I would remove the resin paper, clean up, dry thoroughly. Then two coats of pigmented shellac (BIN in the red can) to seal in any lingering odor. To replace the bottom, glue & screw cleats to the side of the cabinet and plop down new 3/4" plywood (not particle board, not MDF, not OSB. Nail the plywood to the cleats. You can caulk the seams, prime & paint the plywood. Add some sheet vinyl flooring cut to size, stick down vinyl tile, or even just some heavy vinyl coated wallpaper. I've even used the vinyl material from quality roll-up window shades for shelf liner. Looks like an easy replacement since the cabinets appear to be frameless. Saves you the problem of having to pop off the front face frame. No need to anchor the new bottom to the floor. That's just extra work; the old bottom wasn't connected to the floor...or, if it was, it didn't need to be....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
