Great idea!

Too many clowns thread.
That really clarified my thinking.

I can't find the thread however. Maybe someone else can link it.

Instant classic from Marcolo posted today

A lot of layout wisdom summarized in a simple and memorable manner.

Here is a link that might be useful: Memorize this first- Ice, Water, Stone, Fire

Thanks Scrappy25 - I thought of that one too after I posted!

Great idea! This is one of the threads I have printed out and put in a folder.

Everything I wanted to know about drawers

At least for old house types, there's this tile discussion with lots of good information and leads.

Here is a link that might be useful: toward a unified theory of tile

Great idea. I haven't been around here long enough to have any suggestions so I'm just posting so I'll get email updates.

Never mind.

Countertop install problems seem to be a big issue. I found one thread that has a link to a second thread. We have great professional fabricator's on this forum. Anyone remember a thread from one of them?

Here is a link that might be useful: How to ensure a smooth countertop install?

Here's the "Too many Clowns" thread & a related one.

Florantha -
"One clown is great entertainment, too many clowns and I go sit in another room; no clowns and I'm unsatisfied."

Thread :The tile that changes everything

Related thread :Only one clown

I nominate "Corner Cabinet Space Calculations and Analysis." Who among us has not struggled with corner cabinets? Math, diagrams, practicality and philosophy -- who could ask for anything more?

This is such a great idea. I have learned so much from some of these "classic" threads.
One that I'd nominate is the "modest or quirky kitchens" thread started by florantha in 2010. It is so full of nuggets of wisdom and enthusiasm for doing something different and going off the beaten path.

Seen some threads asking for info on Pantries so thought I'd post these useful threads. Starpooh's pdf file on pantries seems to have disappeared / the link does not lead to it, so if someone has it, could you please post.

Marcolo - spot on reg karin's posts. Some links about countertop materials below.

When the "New to Kitchens" is made a sticky, perhaps some of these threads could be added

I love this discussion. Great links! Thanks for resurrecting it, Gemcap. Hope it can become a sticky.

Sorry for resurrecting this post, but...does anyone have Live_Wire_Oak's "Getting There From Here, or How Did It Go So Wrong" post that I mentioned in my original post? I can't find it and the Wayback Machine comes back empty when I searched it (despite AI's comment that it can be found in the Wayback Machine!)

@Buehl: at this link:

I can scroll down to see the thread. You have to scroll past all the text menu items. LMK if it doesn't work for you; I printed it as a PDF and can send to you. ETA: ugh I see now that the original picture that she used as inspiration is no longer there. But some other pictures and responses are there.

Got it! Thanks ChicagoAns!
