Changing counter tops in kitchen with white cabinets
Comments (37)I think the granite looks great: very classic and a big improvement over the tile! I'd definitely look into undercabinet lights. Before, the white counters reflected the ceiling light back up under the cabinets. The dark granite holds onto the light and makes the undercabinet areas a little cave-like. Lighting will make a big difference. I think the previous suggestions are excellent: painting the wall in the kitchen, along with finding some colorful accessories. I had a small galley kitchen similar to this one, and I was amazed at the difference a bright blue rag rug and a few blue dishtowels over the stove handle made....See Morequestionable fabricator of our soapstone counter tops
Comments (10)Florida Joshua installed our soapstone in May. We have a seam in our sink . . . . that you can't find. People have to search to find the 3 seams in our stone, because they are hard to see/feel. He used a black epoxy, it looks like your fabricator used white? And the bit about soapstone being porous and the water seeping in? Puhlease. False. Here's my sink. The seam is in the lower left hand side of the sink, about 3 inches in. Good luck trying to find it. This is freshly oiled. This is 3 months after install. We aren't oilers. As you can see, not having the stone oiled doesn't affect seeing the seam....See MoreIdeas as how to work around a 32" counter top in a 1930s kitchen
Comments (15)I bet the cabinets are built in place. Moving/removing might destroy them. You may end up saving the doors and having new boxes made. Then they can be any height you want. The sink will be a problem if you don't replace/raise the window, too. You need that sink for the feel of the kitchen if you want to keep the look of the cabs. It will probably cost the same to just buy new cabinets. But that doesn't solve the sink problem in the same foot print. And if you change the foot print then you've opened a new can of worms. Changing the window size would probably be the best thing to do....See MoreAnother where to line up cabinets tile and counter top question ...
Comments (7)Trying to remind myself that no matter what I do with that inch of tile or where the cabinets line up ... it'll be much better than this with the fridge, stove and dishwasher all opening into the same space, not enough space to stand by sink and dw, the edge of the range on a walkway (I have kids!), etc. Not having room for more than one person in the kitchen is a huge issue too. The dw doesn't empty into the disposal leading to food debris back up ... as well as tons of other tiny issues I hope we can get taken care of. This was the kitchen prior to our move-in as well ... now it is in worse shape from me taking my frustrations out on it, sometimes with hammers or sharp objects. If this look ever goes 'retro' I'll laugh my behind off....See MoreRelated Professionals
