I cannot put it off any longer, my wife wants our kitchen remodeled. We’ve agreed to update the cabinets with new doors, drawer fronts, drawer slides & hinges. I’ll do all the work myself (with my router & Shopsmith).
Our current cabinets have a face frame and both doors and drawers have a full overlap. We prefer inset style to the overlap.
The drawer slides will have to be the center mounted type as there is insufficient room on the sides for, the preferred, side mounted full-extension slide.
I’m not sure how to line up the drawer fronts or doors????
I’m interested in any feedback from those who have tacked this sort of project. (I think it’s a different set of problems to putting in new stuff.)
There was a suspended ceiling in the kitchen which has been removed. So I’ve got this 12” space above the existing cabinets. What’s the best use of this space? We have a bloody small galley kitchen and need all the space we can for storage. But that seems like a very awkward area to build in a cabinet.
Should I pull out the existing cabinets to do the floor or work around them?
