Glass Cabinet Options for Kitchen Cabinets
Comments (7)1) You can do glass all to the top as is also in the picture. It actually starts to look a bit off when not, in my opinion, although it isn't 'wrong'. 2) Do not stain them! Keep them white with the glass shelves. Otherwise you won't be able to see much in them. The dark insides will also 'absorb' a lot of the light. 3) The picture to the right is better. You have enough popping out as it is. Even more, like the picture on the right, adds 'unrest' for the eyes. My current ceiling is higher than normal too. Love it. Finally can stuff things up high, that I use about once a year. Be sure to have something at hand to climb that high though. Is there a different kind of glass in the second picture? The first one is more gothic and the second one straight? I'd go for the straight one to not go crazy on all those lines. Have fun!...See MoreGlass cabinets or not? Help!
Comments (15)I'm sorry to be crabby about the casual use of "OCD" to indicate lining things up or extreme tidiness or whatever. My DD suffers from OCD. In high school, she believed she was a serial killer because OCD causes horrible, intrusive thoughts (in a couple of different categories including thoughts of causing harm to yourself or others.) Yeah, not at all "I like to line up my saucers". She had a suicide attempt at 17 after a year of therapy. Although that led to her diagnosis and habituation OCD therapy that probably saved her life, she self medicated with drugs and alcohol until she entered rehab at 27. She is almost 6 years sober, started and finished college and is in her second year of grad school. She understands her OCD, had one bad episode early this summer, but all in all, she is a sterling example of bravery and grace. Please, just say "how rigid are you?", "I'm pretty up-tight" "I really care about order" and stop using OCD. It needs to be better understood. How I wish I had understood it when my DD was 16. We don't need more confusion about a serious illness. Hope I've shed some light on a term that isn't used maliciously but shouldn't be used incorrectly, either....See MoreKnobs on top glass cabinets or not?
Comments (38)Yes, you could put knobs there, but I don't think they are necessary. Cabinets look great like this as well. If you decide to put knobs, maybe you should look into some that aren't very noticeable, like the ones mvcanada and lucky998877 posted above. By the way, gorgeous kitchen, congratulations!...See MoreSlab walnut cabinets - aluminum or wood frames for the glass cabinets?
Comments (7)i don't think it looks cheap, but how much SS do u want to look at? aluminum & SS look very similar. the first pic is your kitchen, more or less, you have quite a few of SS elements., do u want more. if it doesn't bother you, then go for it, if it does, then pass. no wrong choice, what do love?? i think your first question is the most relevant and only u can answer that....See MoreDasha
