This is all thanks to bbtrix's design work.

It's looking great!

Looks great! Is your pantry to the left of the fridge for food or broom?

Its got 5 slide out drawers. There is a laundry room next to the kitchen for more storage. There is now crown molding on the cabinets but I don't have the updated photo.

I like. Akurum or Sektion?

Cool - love your big window!

Glad to see progress is being made

Its Adele off white- Akurum.

It looks lovely. I am doing Grimslov white (Adel's name in the new Sektion system). We just hung the first cabinet last night :)

Looking good - so glad to see an update! It looks just like the plan. So glad it's working out for you. Can't wait to see more pix and the reveal.

Hi bbtrix. So glad you were able to find the thread. Yes, the plan is working well. It seems like a huge amount of storage. Plus I think if someone makes a banquet for the dining area they can make more storage there.

The way that the upper corner cabinet is constructed, it shows a lot of gaps on the left and right of the corner door. So depending on where you are standing, there could be a big gap or shadow. Is there a fix for that?

I am soooo impressed with the Ikea cabinets. Your kitchen is going to be awesome!!!

Whats the cream wall color - looks nice with the cabinets

The wall color is SW Navaho White.

We can adjust the hinges but the gap is still going to be there. Yes, there is filler on the corner cabinet. I can't recall what the problem was that we had to do the filler. I think it was to get things symmetrical where the hood is. There is one filler.

There was a scallop piece in the old 1950's kitchen over the window when there was a soffit. I am going to try to use it. I will paint it to match the cabinets. I am going to put a little shelf on top of it and probably put it near the top of the window opening. Is this going to blend with the shaker type style?

I think it's nice to keep that little piece as a tribute to the original kitchen! I'm not sure if it blends or not, and I wouldn't really care as long as you like it! It's a sweet little detail.

My son hates it. I like it. So it goes. I figure its too odd for young buyers. Its an investment property.

I think that is a good decision. It just doesn't go with the shaker and the crown. A buyer would not relate to it being original to the house since it's not a restoration. Do we get some pix soon? ;)

It is going so slow its rather unbelievable. the hood should be up tomorrow and the backsplash. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

Very nice kitchen and layout. The ikea cabinets are lovely.

and the before...

This is before adjusting the fridge doors and we need a filler next to the dishwasher.

Great transformation !!! I love the dark countertops too :)

Just my opinion, but I would leave the valance off. The curves on it seem to be out of place with the squares that are in the room and detracts from the lovely window.

zorroslw1, they were voted off a while back.

Congrats! It looks great! What an amazing transformation!

Thanks! And I know its a formula or "kit" but in my neck of the woods, it is not commonly seen. Especially in an entry level home.

Looks great! I really like the glass cabinets next to the sink!

Looking good! That doesn't look like the IKEA crown - is it? If not, what color did you paint it to match so well?

The crown was from the big box. The paint was just a paint match done at big box. It worked out very well.

Yes, I like the glass cabinets next to the sink. I have to thank bbtrix who helped me with design after design on the Ikea software behind the scenes until we settled on this one. I would have really suffered through this without bbtrix!!

Due to the tile behind the hood, there is a gap too large to fill with calk between the hood and the wall. It doesn't look too bad. What would you do? Just leave it that way? Calk and paint? I think there is a bit of a gap even on the tile part due to some piece sticking out on the back of the hood.

Bumping to see if bbtrix got a chance to see the photos.

Chinchette, it turned out great! It should really impact your sale. Such good choices: good work flow, lots of storage and counter space, simple, clean design, neutral, light and bright. Did you decide what to do about the hood gap? Take a close up pic and post if you're still looking for advice.

Don't forget to post more pix after knobs/pulls are installed! Congrats on a successful remodel. I was happy to help!

Thanks bbtrix! I am thinking of doing nothing about the hood gap. I will do a photo. Yes, there is SOOO much storage it seems now. I thought there would be a lot less counter space but it feels fine. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to order the hardware yet. I want to do a 5.5 to 6 inch pull on the 36" base. And maybe the same pull but smaller on the other base cabinet that is more narrow. Its amazing how much more storage you get when you organize a space well.

What do you think should be on the fake drawers under the sink and over to the right? ( that is a fake drawer over the corner cabinet, isn't it? Nothing? Something?
