Complete renovation of my NYC loft kitchen. Going for clean, modern look with IKEA Nexus Yellow Brown cabinets, high-end stainless steel appliances, acid-etched glass backsplash, Silestone quartz countertops, and porcelain tile floor.
Here are some pictures of my cabinet installation...
Cabinet frames going in -- you can see the veneer banding that I put on all the edges to prevent the white laminate from showing through:
And the doors went up, except for the ones that we cut down:
I forgot to take pictures today -- all the doors are up now and I'm really excited about the results. I ended up replacing the two 15" false drawer fronts on the 30" sink cabinet today with one 30" shallow drawer front -- it gives a cleaner look. And the cut down doors came out great. Pictures to come in the next couple days.
The countertops measurements have been taken and should hopefully will be installed next week. And then we'll be ready for the appliances to be installed.
Another tip: When you order, make sure to double check that IKEA gives you 1 shallow and 2 deep drawer frames for the 12"/15"/18" 3-drawer base cabinets. I just discovered that they gave me 3 shallow drawer frames, so I have to take them apart and return them for the correct depths.
