Should I stagger my cabinets around the corner kitchen sink?? Help!
Comments (29)kbartolu, here are the measurements you asked about. My windows are 20 inches wide, which is how wide the glass is. With the trim around the window, it's bigger, but I assume you want to measurement of the actual glass. The height is 43 inches, but with the transom, it's 57 inches. My island is 63 inches by 69 inches. I love iamjudy's comment about the cabinets going to the ceiling. I had an interior designer tell me that she would have designed my cabinets as going to the ceiling if she had designed it. So that's something to think about. I also love sunnydrew's comment about not doing that cabinet hood over the stove. Good luck! I would love to know what you end up doing. Let me know if you need any other information....See MoreThe new Ikea Domsjo sink- Help w install!
Comments (4)yarkellymarie - I did the same as you, about the same time (mid august) ... hope this is still relevant OR will help others. So what I did - In installed 2x4 supports INSIDE cabinet on left and right walls, to hold the sink in place. Once it was time to install contertops, I just lifted each side of the sink, removed 1x3 spacer, slid granit in place and then adjusted inside supports by 1/4" up. Pretty not difficult. Them most complex part is getting the front of the cabinet trimmed to fit sink apron. More details at http://www.remodelingcalculator.org Here is final product: BTW - i highly recommend these $10 Stainless Steel grids/liners for Domsjo: http://amzn.to/2i2Kh4j @ Patricia Colwell Consulting - pardon me, but you are wrong! If you've never done it, don't say it can't or should not be done. Mistake is using IKEA cabinets! Adjusting non ikea cabinets is easy, but living with junk boxes in your kitchen is hard....See MoreNeed help finding sink for 36" Ikea sink cabinet
Comments (16)@Jessie how did this go? im trying to figure out how to use a 36" ikea cabinet under a ~36' w x 18 d x 10 h fireclay apron front sink. For the cabinet to use under sink, I'm wondering if I can use an ikea 36 w x 24 d x 20 h over-fridge cabinet as my base to avoid cabinet cutting. Sink would "sit" on cab but really be supported by the pete steel horizontal supports that are bolted to both cab side walls. If I can't use the over-fridge, cab, then I have to use an 36 x 24 x 30 base sink cabinet and make cuts on both sides and front I'm assuming. Not sure how extensive this cutting would be. And wouldn't I basically be making a 20" h cab out of the 30" h cab? For the front of cabinet under the sink, I don't really care about doors, meaning I can use a curtain if needed. To left of the sink/cab combo would be dishwasher. My understanding is that I would need a panel and filler between it and the sink/cab combo. Your situation sounds very similar so curious as to how you solved. Thanks!...See MoreHuge lack of storage problems in tiny apartment
Comments (21)In a tiny space, you'll have to be creative and think outside the box. I agree with the prior advice of getting rid of as much stuff as you can, and taking FULL advantage of the vertical space. I also like all the solutions that crl has. I used to have an apartment like this. In the bedroom, I used the closet for out of season items and storage for the house. I got a Target free standing plastic covered rod for hanging clothes (measure twice, buy once!) It's not that attractive, but it will do the job for the time being. There are seating pieces that are apartment size. Call up local furniture stores and ask about them. I personally wouldn't get upholstered furniture online, but people have had very good luck with that. I'm 5'1", and I don't like my feet dangling over the edge of a newly purchased chair or couch! Also, some upholstered pieces are hard as a rock to sit on and some are as soft as a marshmallow. So, it's a good idea to visit stores in person. On a simple Google search for apartment size furniture, here's what pops up: Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Macy's, Apt 2b, West Elm. If you have these stores in your area, visit them with your wish list, budget, and measurements. Since you're on a tight budget, ask friends, family, and colleagues if they have any furniture they're getting rid of. When I first started out, I got a full size gorgeous fake cream asian rug and two upholstered chairs that way! My mother had some framed prints she didn't want, so the walls taken care of....See MoreFocal Point Hardware
