BillyJack Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 My wife has no idea the monster a set of cabinets will bring out in me on my own cabinets. Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Swanson Jr. Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 My uncle and his wife put in a new kitchen in their home in quartersawn white oak. To try and save a buck, they hired my cousin to do the job. He's from a town of 500 in rural Nebraska. Two years and tens of thousands of dollars later and they ended up having to hire a pro to come in and fix the many mistakes. But the final results are pretty stunning. These are the only pics i have, hopefully they will wet your appetite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Nice pics. Just know, BillyJack is that kind of pro, not the average family member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 I’m lucky I installed my own floors and finished them. I can’t adjust tye size as my hardwoods outline tye cabinets, so I’m looking to upgrade a 1999 set to 2025. Im thinking a lot of gizmos behind the doors, lights and frost light upper glass doors.. Cabinets are cabinets, this is more of a design issue.. If I didn’t have to pay a cabinet maker, what would I do? That is the question.. If I want clean lines, I don’t want hardware showing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 When most people think new cabinets they think new appliances, paint, tile counter tops, etc. Why most refinance and go for broke on a new kitchen..I hoping stayin* with 1/4 oak I’ll be able to keep my tile wit( a new top and cabinets. I’ve got to go to the sold surface guy and get a clue on tops, plus the sink and faucets.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got plenty of old home magazines with cabinet pictures and I’m not shy. I’ll steal design I like 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
