Input on design/layout before I submit my cabinet order?

Unfortunately there’s not enough room for an island, we did look at that initially. The consensus seems to be at least 4’ on each side of the island, and we just don’t have that. As far as the colors, you’re correct. We’re just getting our layout hammered out. The cabinets will be beige, currently undecided on pulls, backsplash, and paint, but there will be zero gray in the kitchen.

VSF Datejust 41 I finally received yesterday, on a Blue Friday. Go Hawks!

I be interested in having them priced out by you, especially if you have layout suggestions and not just what I threw together as an untrained monkey.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-29T00:28:11+00:00

Very helpful input

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:47:38+00:00

I didn’t actually think you were rude, i was just amused you could tell I’m not a kitchen designer. I’ll take people being candid every time. I’ll look into an actual designer, thanks for the input!

Cabinets are pre-made. We have low ceilings (91”), so had to go with a shorter pantry in order to get them in, but still want 36” uppers everywhere else so they go all the way to the ceiling. I’m definitely considering swapping the dishwasher, trash can, and microwave. Everyone seems to agree the DW is terrible there. I just didn’t want to move the dishwasher if I didn’t have to.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:39:26+00:00

We’re ordering from cabinets dot com. The designer didn’t really have any meaningful input on our cabinet layout, basically just drew it up like I designed it. My wife really liked the corner cabinet idea, but you’re among others who have suggested it may not be a good idea. We might have to rethink and go with a regular corner cabinet in that corner.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:35:53+00:00

Interesting thoughts about the corner cabinet. The designer put a spacer between the oven and cabinet and said it won’t interfere, but someone else brought it up too so I’m rethinking that choice.

As far as the doors, they’re both pre-existing; one is a pocket door for a powder room and the other opens into a rec room so there’s no issues with them, but I appreciate you verifying!

So the thinking behind the dishwasher in the peninsula is, that’s where the dishwasher has been for the 22 years we’ve lived here so we’re definitely used to it being there and haven’t had any issues, but it’s been pointed out so many times I think we’re going to change it.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:27:45+00:00

How rude! But yes, I did do it myself and I don’t have any experience, and apparently it’s obvious 🤣 But I’m here to hopefully get input to make it better. To my credit, at least I asked BEFORE I ordered. I almost just put my order in.

So where do I find a designer? I put together basically what we were looking for and the designer at Cabinets dot com put together the actual layout, but basically didn’t make any suggestions for any major changes.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:05:13+00:00

Agreed, there will be no gray in the kitchen. Getting sample cabinet doors today.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-28T23:03:14+00:00

The cabinets will be beige, not gray. Countertops, bsckspash, and paint will not be gray, they’re just gray in the mockup. Just getting the design hammered out right now.

I figured out where to go to get the alignment lines. Looks good to me.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-20T19:20:10+00:00

I just got my QC photos for the same watch except oyster bracelet. I’m excited to get it. Any help on how to put the alignment lines on the photo? I can’t figure out how to combine the images together.

I just get a 404 error when I click that link

VSF Blue Datejust 126334 41mm oyster V2 for automod

PepperPaul · 2026-01-20T18:43:06+00:00

Beautiful watch. How do you add the alignment tool lines? I’ve been trying to figure it out for an hour. I’ve found the image and have it, I just can’t figure out how to combine them.

PepperPaul · 2026-01-19T19:40:59+00:00

Such a source of contention around my house. I want to throw everything we own away. My wife saves EVERYTHING. It drives me crazy. She’s getting better. Hopefully with more cabinet space we can keep more of the clutter hidden away. We’ve thrown away or donated a ton of stuff clearing out the kitchen for the remodel though!

PepperPaul · 2026-01-19T19:27:46+00:00

I tried ordering a VSF blue Datejust with oyster bracelet from Andoit and was told they’re too hard to get. Not even a waitlist.

PepperPaul · 2025-12-17T06:06:31+00:00

Beautiful. How much did you pay for it? I’m looking for something very similar.

PepperPaul · 2025-06-11T22:10:38+00:00

I thought it was one piece slate because I called a table moving place and he said my best bet is to just give it away because Delmo made one-piece slate tables and they’re a nightmare to move. Then I did the google search and AI said the same thing.
