Kitchen Cabinets are Ordered

It looks like we will be getting kitchen cabinets after all! We went ahead and ordered American Classics Cabinets from Home Depot.

The plan was to order stock cabinets to take advantage of Home Depot's 20% off sale, but since the wall cabinets are not stock and are made in a different location from the regular stock cabinets, there was a good chance that the stains would not match. That would not be good. So it made sense to special order everything.

The cabinets are still a very good value, and I still ended up with a $500 discount bringing down the cost to $2,865.00 and they'll be delivered in 2-3 weeks! Custom cabinets would have easily been three times as much and taken twice as long to be finished. Could it be that we are reaching the last phase of this project?!

The AutoCAD drawings show what the kitchen will look like after the cabinets are installed. Drawings are critical tools in design development as they allow you visualize how things relate to one another in space.  For instance, in Option 1 (not shown) I had 30" high wall cabinets that I thought would be perfect for this tiny kitchen. Once I compared the 30" cabinets with the 36" high cabinets in the elevation below, I realized that my initial thought was wrong and that the taller cabinets were the better solution. As a bonus the tall cabinets will offer more storage...always an issue in a small space.


The next part of the kitchen remodel will be ordering counter tops and appliances.
