(That thing almost killed me in the driveway.) We ended up getting stock cabinets and a regular Kohler cast iron sink from Home Depot, and one huge, eight-foot slab of maple butcher block from Lumber Liquidators.
So we had to scrap our plans for IKEA Kitchen 2.0, and start shopping the big-box home improvement stores. We needed to get all this done while I had a break between jobs, so we didn’t have much flexibility in terms of timing. The double-basin apron-front sink is a hair over $300 - compare that to over $1,000 for a similar Kohler.)Īnd as if that wasn’t enough, they were out of butcher block counters, too. (IKEA’s Domsjo single-basin farmhouse sink, which we have in our own kitchen, costs less than $200 and looks fantastic - a similar one elsewhere can cost $800 or more. Plus, people had caught on to the ludicrous bargain that is IKEA’s apron-front farmhouse sink - it was back-ordered for two months and the associate said he wasn’t even allowed to sell it anymore.
CUPBOARD HANDLES HOME DEPOT INSTALL
(And you can’t really install a kitchen with just “some” of the cabinets!) However, at the time, IKEA was in the middle of its summer kitchen sale and all the while phasing out its longstanding Akurum cabinet system, so they didn’t have a lot of the cabinets we wanted in stock in fact, it was going to take three weeks to get some of them in. It’s almost the exact same layout, so we figured we’d take roughly the same approach that worked so well for us a couple years earlier (and has worked out great since). Then last year, we ended up remodeling the kitchen in our downstairs apartment. We ultimately decided to go with IKEA cabinets because they’re cheap, pretty easy to install, surprisingly durable, and look great.
You can read about it here in detail, but here’s a before-and-after shot to provide a visual summary:ĭuring our planning, I researched the hell out of stock, ready-to-assemble, and custom cabinets. A few years ago, we did a budget remodel of our gross, outdated kitchen.
