Custom IKEA Kitchen with custom Scherrs Walnut fronts!
Comments (28)Wow! I was so impressed with my cubby idea in my soon to be revealed kitchen. Think I'll slink back down to my bsmt lair. You win. Seriously, I am going to send this to my gc and "see if it is not too late to do this" in my kitchen. If he has a heart attack, do I still owe the last payment? I'd love to see the serious pix of your kitchen as well. I am sure I will love those as much as the great big toy! It is a very pretty kitchen from what I could see of the video ;)...See Morepawa's retro kitchen reveal: yellow, marmoleum, wood, and white!
Comments (52)Ok, I have to ask...it looks like you stayed with your original sink (which is almost exactly like mine) but your before pics do NOT have a hudee ring. When we did our addition I was adamant that the old sink was going to move into the new kitchen, and we were not able to salvage our hudee ring so we ended up just dropping the sink into the new counter and caulking the heck out of it. I would have liked to keep the ring, for nostalgia's sake, but I am perfectly happy without it as well. So my question is, if you didn't have a ring originally, where did you get yours? Just curious. BTW, your kitchen looks beautiful. :)...See MoreIkea Kitchens
Comments (59)Yes, Shalayne. How're you coming? We also cut standard-depth cabinet boxes down in depth. In the kitchen, tall pantry boxes were changed from 24 to 12 inches deep (shelves instead of pullouts, of course). In the bathroom, 3 lower kitchen cabinet boxes were cut shallower and built in to form a double bathroom vanity about 21" deep. The drawers and their hardware fit, but we didn't have the extra smidgen of space needed to snap on the whatchamacallems, the soft-close devices and had to do without them. Elyse/RemodelFl, I just dropped back by today and found your pix of your remodel. Wow! Anybody can go on a big shopping spree and write checks. It's projects like yours that are especially fun and inspiring when they are done so well. Thanks for sharing. Regarding remodelings, we recently bought a tiny mobile home for vacationing in the Tampa Bay area, 1962 and won't do anything we'd mind a hurricane surge carrying off (SPLOSH 1 zone), but I do intend to start some updating by redoing the bathroom very inexpensively, then maybe someday a partial in the tiny kitchen (want to keep as much of the good wood as possible because it matches the walls). It's amazing what good shape the mobile-home-quality fixtures are in considering 50 years of use, but they'll never spruce up to better than tired and inefficient. Our first move was on this solid sheet-plastic accordion thing on the tub that's been opened and closed for 50 years and still working, the accordioning insisting on sharing the 2'-wide tub with bathers all that time, even when fully expanded. I felt guilty, tho, having DH cut it up and get rid of it, like we should honor it and show it off to all our visitors. Maybe post proud pix of it on a midcentury conservation forum. :)...See MorePlease give it to me straight. Marmoleum color or not.
Comments (51)Yeah for scoring such a great deal on the tile. Woot! As someone said, you may want to consider how the flooring looks transitioning from the next room. FWIW, you can always use a couple of colors. I’ve seen pics of bungalows w/ old Lino where they use one color for the body of the floor and a diff color around the edges. FWIW-2, when I redid the guest bath 10 years ago, I chose a handmolded tile around the tub that I LOVED. (It was buttercup yellow). Loved it. Painted the walls beige. Now, I‘ve fallen out of love with the tile color and wish I’d used something neutral and painted the walls a color—an easy and much cheaper thing to change. So for my new kitchen, I’m going neutral and will use accents (window covering, decor) to add a pop of color and ....that will be stuff I can easily change out all the time. So maybe colorful backsplash, neutral floor and fun decorative things?...See Morepurlina007
