How to Convert a Kitchen Wall Cabinet to a Base Cabinet
Comments (3)When you say "base" I think you mean a toekick or riser so the cabinet sits off the floor, no? If you made this from 2x stock, and have shimmed it level off the floor in both directions, and can secure the cabinet itself to at least 2 studs, there's really no reason to worry about fastening them together beyond a few finish nails. If you had a couple of 2 1/2" screws, you could screw through the floor of the cabinet and catch the base. If you were wrapping the base with molding, you could lip it slightly onto the cabinet trapping it. Casey...See MoreCan you use IKEA base cabinets as wall cabinets?
Comments (5)Yes, just be sure to have good support. -- I use 2 base cabinets (cut to right height) stacked to create my deep appliance garage, but they're sitting on the countertop. We did use the 36"x18" over-the-fridge cabinet over the fridge because it was the right height, but we put in super duper support to bring it out to 30" deep, instead of 24" deep, to be flushed w/ the wall of cabinets.

Comments (28)Annette, if you have decided to use Ikea, you need to build your design within the Ikea planner so that you are working with their cabinet dimensions. Unfortunately, you are a half inch short on the W/D wall to use the tall cover panel to enclose it for that run. The fridge cab, cover panel, and corner cab is 30+.5+38=68.5. Your wall is 68". An alternative is to eliminate the cover panel or just run it down to the counter. You might be able to gain 1/2" if you do not install the bases on the window wall using the rail system. The rail protrudes 1/2". With pulling the corner cab out from the wall 6", you will either have to mount a 2x4 frame to the wall to mount the rail and cabs to or secure the cabs to the floor using this kit or something else you devise. The bases that you will install as uppers will not need the extra framing since you will be able to mount the rail to the wall. I have no knowledge of log cabinet wall construction but I'm assuming studs aren't involved? Will your contractor guy be doing the install? Here is the link to the above plan. The planner does not have the capability of moving the base cabs up the wall, so I configured it with wall cabs as placeholders and pulled them out 6" to allow for the 24" depth. Subtract them out from the item list and add three 12" base pullouts . I added a free-standing 12" base pullout in the plan with counter and legs removed so you can see the item numbers. Add three of those to the list. They come to $163 ea using Grimslov doors. This plan comes to around $1500 without counter and handles. Whenever I do changes to their standard configurations I create the plan, print the item list, then add my changes to the printed list. Bring that with to the store and the associate will be able look it over for anything missed and do your additions/deletions. Here is the link to the plan using two 15" pullouts instead. They are configured with the bottom drawer attached to the door and two additional inner drawers. If you don't have their current cabinet catalog, here is a link. I don't find a new one with their newest door style. I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have questions....See MoreOK to use Base Cabinet Wire Basket Pullout for Wall Cabinet?
Comments (3)how many cleaning bottles/etc do you have . I would do a 15 in shelf installed with brackets into studs. then find plastic totes w finger grips or a lip so easy to handle in sm-med sizes and pull the tote down off the shelf when you must go digging for whatever you need to store. Usually the detergent and softener would be the main thing you are getting and you could just reach and grab them out of the tote while tote stays on shelf. Easier. Cheaper. safer. If you are storing a lot of other household things...get something from Rubbermaid or similar from a big box store.....a cabinet w shelves behind doors or shelving that rests on floor...and find floor space....See MoreMissi (4b IA)
