I'm just finishing a major kitchen gut reno using Ikea cabinets. One thing to keep in mind, at least ere in Canada, is that the "kitchen event" sales don't give you a discount - they give you Ikea gift cards. If you're not planning to buy a ton of other Ikea products, you may want to split your purchase so you use the gift cards from purchase #1 to pay for purchase #2. You can do them both on the same day, but they won't let you combine two purchases into a single delivery.

I'm in the process of redoing mine, and I'm going to put in a recycling center. In my community I have four kinds of garbage (glass/plastic, paper, city compost, garbage, plus my own compost). So I'm putting in two slide-out waste containers, each with two bins. My compost goes in an empty ice cream tub in the freezer. An Example of Beautiful Organization Under the Kitchen Sink! |

I would rather have four smaller garbage bins in the same place to align with my city's garbage program, vs having to take every bit of recycling outside. Remove These 3 Road Blocks to Keep Your Kitchen Cleaner and Happier |

Sink appears to be in front of the window in pic #5. I'm guessing that the sink/window area is to the left of pic #1? Hard to tell what is over there. Kitchen Before & After: Debra's Bibliothèque Paris Kitchen Renovation Reader Kitchen Remodel |

I've got a manual scale instead of an electronic one (mechanism like your old bathroom scale) because I hate being dependent on batteries, and a mortar and estle instead of the spice grinder (don't drink coffee). And the dough whisk is new for me, but I've managed fine without it. Beyond the Basics: 10 Can't-Live-Without Items for a Cook's Kitchen |

Funny... I was reading the second comment and thought it sounded just like my old house. Then I realized it was MY old comment :) All About: Hardwood Flooring Kitchen Flooring Spotlight |

I cheated and did 2'9" on a non-working side that isn't a through traffic route, but went with 3'6" on the working side. Consequence was that I needed to go with small footprint backless stools on the non-working side so they could tuck nearly 100% under the overhang.

I rarely use mine and resent the amount of valuable counter space it uses. I want a small one I can put away in a cabinet when not in use. If that means it can't fit a standard size plate, so be it. How Do You Feel About the Microwave? Reader Survey |

I keep a smallish microwave inside one of my lower kitchen cabinets and only take it out when I need it, just like my other small appliances. Yes it eats up cabinet space, but I have more spare cabinet space than counter space. And I don't like the way it looks.

Kariface - they're plastic and will get lots of wear - I don't think you'd be happy with the results if you painted them. I've seen colored knockoffs in retail stores, so they do exist. Keep looking... Around the Dining Table: Mismatched Eames Chairs |

Always make my own stock. Chicken, turkey, veggie, shrimp (using the shells). Always in the crockpot then stored in the freezer. Haven't bought stock in 5+ years. Homemade Soup Stock: How Far Would You Go? |
