Look inside the cabinets for any info about the manufacturer. They likely aren't custom, so you should be able to get more of the same. If not, you could get factory-made-to-order (not quite custom, but close) cabinets. Make sure you have a professional do the measurements to ensure that the new cabinets will fit properly under your existing countertop. Good luck!

Is that an open walkway that has been closed off with that unit? It really doesn't make any sense because it's not supposed to be there and you should probably re-examine the space. I also think you should post more photos of the space for helpful comments. That really is an eyesore.

We need lots more info and pictures to even begin to answer

Depending on the layout you may be able to get away with a completely diff cabinet set up..if you do make sure its different like a really dark color, maybe stainless cabs , keep the profile clean and just change the color

Is the kitchen on a higher level than the living room? The previous owners must have wanted an inexpensive DIY fix because this looks terrible. I love your dog!

What is the countertop material?

Countertop is quartz. I can't find any identifying info on the cabinets, but they seem super cheap. Our long term plan is to move a portion of this kitchen set up to the basement to make a kitchenette and redo this kitchen entirely. The problem is that there is a staircase to the basement on the other side of the kitchen wall (fridge/stove wall) and a sunken living room on the side with the weird shelf. In the original design there were 2 steps down to the living room from the kitchen, the rest of the area where the open shelf is was just a drop off. My dream is to somehow land on a design that allows for stools at an island or peninsula so my sweet kiddos can do their homework and talk to me while i am in the kitchen. We are open to moving the stairs to another part of the house to make the kitchen bigger, as we are planning to add a second story and could sacrifice a bedroom for that, but that would not be until next spring at the earliest. Louvered door is a deep pantry.

This IS a terrible DIY kitchen. When we moved in I had to sand off whatever they used to bond the countertop because it was lumpy at the seams. The guy didn't even wipe the tile with a sponge after he grouted, so there is grout stuck to the tiles that I can't get off. The flooring was not laid properly, so there are small gaps throughout. And this is just the kitchen. Turns out the shower in the master en suite is a leaky mess...they just were not using it, so the inspector didn't find any water damage. Oh, and they used mud to patch drywall to fill cracks made by failing grout in the shower and then they caulked over it so that it looked good for the showing....when I went into my daughter's room a few days after we moved in, I noticed the closet door was hung backward. When I flipped it around, I realized why. It had holes punched in it! I will stop there, but I could go on. Fortunately, my husband is a professional woodworker, so at least some of the things we can fix ourselves. And the view out the back is worth living in a construction site for a little while.

Just wait until the 400K addition+ happens to do anything.

You have big plans obviously. I don't like that section..doesn't look good and it doesn't provide you with much altho counter space does count. I would be willing to pull counter off..take risk of possible damage. If counter can be cut and put back on the two existing cabinets there-- do that. Get something from ikea or habitat to replace the shelving and re-use counter if possible..if you can't reuse the counter then use Ikea butcher block for a top. Your plans may hit hiccups or lots of months or a few years of planning....I would want this piece in the kitchen gone. You don't have to be spendy to have something else there.

Yes, @herbflavor, this is how I feel! Big changes ahead but we are just starting to plan now. This is going to take awhile and a new kitchen would be one of the last things to go in. In the meantime, i would like to close it up the hole and I would like the extra storage over the next year or two. I was also thinking that once it's closed up, we could put a built in book case on the other side (sunken living room side) so that it isn't such an eyesore looking in from the other room.

it looks pretty narrow... like it replaced a railing?

how much do you need storage vs countertop?

i agree, this looks really bad. not sure what it looked like for the sellers, but it CAN look good if you are a pottery and baskets kind of person.... its a matter of owning the right types of cookware.

might you fill the lower shelf with matching deep baskets til it comes time to afford a needed redo? because i cant see that mismatched cabinets fit under there is going to be a stellar look either and they will cost more. and you'll see the back of them from the living room.

just measure out the space you can fill.....there is a range of dimension you can fill up. Hit the habitat store..a few times...Ikea. the trick is in getting that top off and see if it survives. I might call someone to just do it right away. then you know what you can work around /or not.No sink..a little easier but the two cheap cabinets may or may not get damaged.....but you would be creating a new run..not connected to an appliance section or anything..great spot for used cabinets..you could paint for contrast or whatever...

I did finally find the door and drawer fronts at Lowes here: Lowes Thermofoil Cabinet It looks like they are fazing them out which is why I didn't find them in store. @herbflavor, I forgot about the habitat store. That is a great suggestion. I am thinking I can maybe find base cabinets that we could paint white there and then buy new doors? I'm also looking at fb marketplace and craigslist to see if I can get any that way. @ninigret thank you for that photo. I think that look is an option if I can't get something that matches.

The Lowe's cabinet looks like a good match. How many stores are in your area? Sometimes one will carry an item and one won't. You might even be able to order some of these online.

You've got a cute doxie!

I'd see if I could get a fabricator to cut off that chunk of stone neatly at the end of the real cabinet and just replace the weird thing with a free standing island of some sort if I needed something in that place (IKEA used to have some nice islands with enclosed storage). You can stick it in the basement kitchenette when we remodel the main kitchen in the future.

An even cheaper option would be to attach a sheet of painted plywood to the back so it's not visible form outside the kitchen and then use nice baskets and canisters for everything on the shelf (except the mixer...).

Except for that weird bit, it looks like a nice enough kitchen to work in--certainly something one could live with for a while!

(Psst, love the front door style!)

Someone may have already mentioned this, but what about open cabinets with no doors at all? You may be able to find one that will work or you can get it made to fit the space (best bet).

The ikea cabinets may be the best option. Lowes quoted me around 400 each for base cabinets and I would need 3, which seemed like too much to spend for a temporary fix. I was surprised by how affordable the ikea cabinets were. In the mean time, I have cleared the shelf. It is a little bit better empty. I may try something decorative, a plant or something, but I can't use produce because my dog would eat anything I put down there!
