After work today I "closed" on the kitchen cabinets at Home Depot, i.e., forked out the money. But I think it's money well spent--plus I'm getting a 15% discount (originally it was 10%--which I thought was good enough). The figure came out in the low-ball range of the original estimate, which was good news, even with all the "bells and whistles" I'm getting. Friday morning the measuring company is coming back to take the final measurements.
There was 6" of space left between the stove and the wall, so she threw in a bank of little drawers and a pull-out spice rack above that. I'd also ordered one of those pull-out pantries between the fridge and the wall. I'll have a lot more storage space than before (and I already had quite a bit). There will be no dead or marginally usable space at all. One corner will contain corner cabinets with doors that open at a diagonal (the lower one is bi-fold). I was going to get the lazy susans below but opted for more shelf area instead. One lower cabinet will have large pull-out drawers for pots and pans. All the drawers close by themselves when you give them a push. How exciting is that!
Old kitchen.
