This is my long wall (about 15') which extends from the kitchen on the right to the dining room on the left. On the left is a 15" w pantry and all the base cabs are 15"w or 30"w. What I did with the wall cabs: these are all 30"h and 30 or 15" wide. I'm using the 15x15 doors that usually come with the over the fridge cabinets. Where you see the two white blobs, I'm leaving the top doors off for open display. (I have very little leeway on the short wall. From the top: 12"w base cut down to 6", range, d/w, sink. Walls 30"h cabs a/o ss grundtal shelves and rails).

1. How does this look?Still too uninteresting? Suggestions?

2. Should I change one of my wall cabs to a microwave cab or just put it on the counter?(don't want it above the range!)

3. should I make some of the drawers numerar ss?

Thank you!!!!

It looks very nice! For symmetry, I'd leave the doors off the top of the cabinet next to the fridge as well.

It would be nice to have all the top drawer fronts on the lower cabs in SS.

I think you have enough room for the micro on the counter, and that you would want the storage area in the cab rather than using it for a micro.

I agree re: putting the microwave on the counter. Plus, if you find later that it feels too crowded w/ the microwave on the counter, you can always get an undercabinet microwave and retain both the counter space and the cabinet space.

Love that long stretch of counter! I'm a big fan of all drawers on the base cabs - although there may be a bit of a space loss in trade off for ease & convenience.

What stage are you at now?

We're pretty much stalled! We've put in some of the cabinet boxes on the long wall (where there was nothing before) and then non-kitchen life got busy and we had to take a break. Hoping to do the rest before the end of the summer.
