Re: new modern home 


left to do; handles on cabinets. dishwasher is a tight fit.

appliances going in ikea nexus birch cabinets.

i had to weld a custom metal brace at front of cabinet to fit rangetop/downdraft. shown in pict powder coated almond. cabinet fake drawer panels will cover it up

Re: new modern home 

downdraft on induction top means drawers dont fit anymore will be custom modifying them or transfer sides/rail from a shallower cabinet to the 36" drawer faces i have.

Re: new modern home

apparantly the sink/drain is a combo system. i had replaced the ikea sink with a kohler to help fit the sink cabinet better. the other bathrooms with ikea sinks and ikea drains passed.

Re: new modern home

well moved in a few weeks ago.. busy finishing up some trim work and such.

the nexus birch cabinets are awesome! i wasnt sure about the pull out pantrys but they work very well and make access to any drawer easy. i could switch to a swing door but keeping them as is. the ikea pendant lights are our primary lights. i had can lights put in but the ikea ones put out plenty of light.

GE induction rangetop is super fast. boil a pot of water in a minute. efficiency is better than gas/electric, speed is quicker, and very fast on changing temperature too.

the pax closet system ROCK!
so easy to keep neat/clean! ended up with;
HIS: (2) 30"x79" cabinets, (2) 39"x70" cabinets with 10 drawers. overkill on drawers but rest is used up. (2) pants racks was just enough. having the dirty clothes bin at the bottom of a cabinet works well.

HER: (4) 30"x79" cabinets with 8 drawers. she completly used her space and is overspilling into another closet. im beggin for her to donate some of it off.

i will post up some good pictures later. still have to trim in the frig/freezer combo and finish altering the bathroom cabinet drawers to fit.
