European style cabinets

last year

I was told that there is no molding available for high gloss or acrylic covered upper cabinets to be able to fill the gap between them and ceiling. Is this true?

We hired a cabinet installer who has experience hacking IKEA cabinets. He used pieces cut from an IKEA gable panel in the same finish as the cabinets.

Thank you for your quick response. Much appreciated. Are you inclined to recommend IKEA cabinets for someone looking at a midrange budget?

Where are you located? Ikea is pretty cheap. I have all my cabinets custom made. I pay about $150 per linear foot for bottoms.

Since white painted cabinets are so popular today, the only other option with your floors and counter tops may be a very light gray painted cabinet to tone down the stark white. Most of the cabinet lines are offering this paint now.

I think that your home is evolving into a more contemporary style. Your choices in rugs and some furniture are showing that your taste is now leaning toward a more contemporary feel and the cupboards will fit in with that style and you will probably love them. The only concern I have is the color. I love the color as you do but will you grow tired of that color down the road ? Maybe, maybe not but be sure that aqua is a color that you will want to live with for long time.

That sounds very nice. Before you invest in anything I would encourage you to make a sample board and think about how all these elements will look together. The grey of the cement floor( unless you stain it) of coarse your onyx , your white tub, your vanity, your tile, sink, fixtures, lighting, etc. be careful not to add to many dissimilar colors and elements in here if you want to make the onyx work.

We find them more flexible than factory made cabinets, and cheaper than custom cabinets, so thyey make a good mid range choice. Getting someone who can hack them opens up some good 'custom' installations.
