About to remodel kitchen

We are about to remodel our poorly planned, poorly laid-out kitchen using mostly (all) IKEA cabinets. We may even do the whole thing IKEA, including appliances. Since this isn't a long term house for us, we aren't making a huge investment in the kitchen, but we'd like to make it usable. I'm sure I'll ask for input.

We have an inordinate amount of IKEA in our house too...we have three small children and all of the dressers are from IKEA. As are a daybed, a pull-out sofa, several desks and much more.

Cheers!

Hi and welcome! You're definitely in the right place. I'd encourage you to start a thread in Kitchen Planning detailing what you want to do and maybe include some floor plan measurements and locations of utilities etc. Check out the thread on "How to Write a Mission Statement" too, it's in the sticky at the top of that forum. Also, you might want to download the kitchen planner and work with that, then "Save to IKEA" we can access it and do some alternate ideas very easily.

We started the madness

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it back here.

I would love to have a blog here and a blog there to track this insanity, but I just can't do it (read, you'll know why). So, if you want to see how this is all coming together, you can see it here:

It's a Duck

We are doing all Stat cabinets with the Numerar Oak butcher block countertops. We were going to do the Ikea appliances, but I got a really good price on some Whirlpool Gold instead.

I'm trying to do daily pictures, but not sure if I can get them uploaded every day.

Enjoy!
Alex

Good Lord. And I thought having 2 under 2 was rough. We now have one 4 year old girl and one 5 year old boy (yes we didn't kill them) and that's IT! Complete set - we're done. Besides, if we had more we'd have to move and I'm too committed to getting a new kitchen to do that!!

We'll enjoy following your project!
