I need help remodeling my kitchen!

11 years ago

I am in the process of planning a remodel for a property of mine. The kitchen hasn't been touched since the 60s when it was built. I am planning on refinishing the current cabinets. I want to remove the wall oven and put a range in where the current cooktop is. My question is what to do with the area where the oven was. No other cabinet doors or drawers match the dimensions to move them there. It is a deep area and would make a perfect spot for a pantry so I do not want to leave it open. Here is a picture of the kitchen and a picture of what look I am going for. Thanks!

Go to a local cabinet shop & have doors made, and maybe some shelves or roll out trays.

I agree since your cabinet doors are so simple that would be an easy fix.

Roll out trays would be perfect! Do you think someone could make doors that would match the current ones? That was my concern with getting new doors.

A good local cabinet shop can match the look.

(and don't forget, you'll lose the current storage space under your cooktop)

How about adding an storage/appliance garage and use stainless roll up doors.

HI -- If that oven is in good shape and works , then why not just keep it ? It is a luxury to have two ovens . Or you could have it fitted for the micro-wave and storage or a pull out shelf for the micro -wave or for a mixer ... whatever . And yes a good carpenter /cabinet shop can make a door to match the rest . And if and when the old oven is re-moved you could just re=move and open that area and finish the bottom of the upper cabinet and add a drawer to the base cabinet and extend the counter area and add a new backsplash . That will open up that wall . Any kitchen cabinet company can do that for you .
