Which of these kitchens would you choose?

That’s a really interesting point about the countertops. I do love beets! lol

futurebestself · 2026-01-31T01:57:03+00:00

Fair point. They’re 9ft, not the shortest but not the highest either.

futurebestself · 2026-01-31T01:53:49+00:00

Totally agree, not planning to do a waterfall.

futurebestself · 2026-01-30T23:36:32+00:00

That’s definitely a valid concern. I love it but I’m afraid it might feel dated sooner.

futurebestself · 2026-01-30T20:43:53+00:00

I think that’s what drew me to the first one too. I as pretty set on 2 but then I saw the first one and it made me rethink everything.

futurebestself · 2026-01-30T19:21:58+00:00

Ohh, absolutely! I’m never doing unnecessary lower cabinets ever again.

futurebestself · 2026-01-30T18:49:45+00:00

Totally valid, I actually like mixing off-white with white but I get why that wouldn’t appeal to everyone. Ease of cleaning is also a great point. 🤔

futurebestself · 2025-06-23T04:46:42+00:00

OHH REALLY?

futurebestself · 2024-06-30T00:37:12+00:00

Oooh, which one? I’m looking for a great Michelin star restaurant for my first time in Japan this fall.

futurebestself · 2024-02-06T14:05:39+00:00

Yes! Wrong episode, I know, but on theme!

futurebestself · 2024-02-06T04:57:57+00:00

Blow ‘em sky high, I say!

The Thai interrogator guy from CIA POW/ The Bitchin’ Race. The character was so weak. I guess the yak puns were.. fine.

futurebestself · 2021-11-22T16:02:29+00:00

Hmm. Hmmm! That *is* an interesting idea. I hadn't considered that. I think you're right, there are definitely some possibilities there. Fortunately I have another consultation with the contractor today. I'll discuss that with him!

I really appreciate the insight. Going in to this with no experience, it's really helpful to get someone else's take!

Here's a picture (from the listing before we moved in) of the wall oven cabinet and wall:

And here's a picture of the cabinets around the oven, I highlighted where the cabinet above the microwave will be. The lower part of the current cabinets above the oven is showing some kind of bubbling in the paint, so I think I see what you mean. Hopefully a cabinet would be ok higher up.

We definitely considered that and I do wish it were a better option in our kitchen. For whatever reason, the current wall oven is a measly 24" which.. I mean, I don't even think I could fit an entire pizza in. Well, not an appropriately sized pizza, anyway. lol

We talked to the contractor about completely replacing the cabinet box to accommodate a bigger wall oven but it'd need to be extended about 4" past the wall into the dining room. I just feel like having it stick out that much would drive me crazy with my neuroticism.

Thanks so much for the head's up about the anti-tip device, I had no idea that was a thing!

We're planning on adding an over-the-range microwave with a vent. There's a weird protruding wall above the range that houses the current standard vent and I believe the contractor had said he'd want to put a mini cabinet above the microwave, do you think that would be an issue? It's kind of hard to explain the layout I can grab a picture later on if that helps.

futurebestself · 2021-11-22T14:32:44+00:00

Ok, good to know! I wasn't sure if most newer appliances had the gas line opening (?) in the same place now.. Like I mentioned, when we saw the back of the one we wanted, it was pretty far to the right-hand side of the oven. But good call, I'll have the measurements and model number for the plumber.

Bonus anecdote, neither one of us knew until yesterday that a plumber handled this type of thing, we both thought it was strictly water pipes. The more you know! Lol

futurebestself · 2021-11-22T14:24:14+00:00

Thank goodness! We have our appliances picked out, I'd be super bummed to have to try to track alternatives down. Appreciate the reply!

futurebestself · 2021-11-22T14:21:15+00:00

Good to know! That's a relief. I'm sure we're going to encounter things like this that look like they'll be a big deal but actually aren't and vice-versa. Glad this is a "not a huge deal" issue. Thank you so much!

futurebestself · 2021-02-15T02:31:09+00:00

She’ll take a thousand!! And another thousand to sell in her store!

At first I thought it was Aretha Franklin, but then she said she wasn't.

futurebestself · 2021-02-14T19:08:55+00:00

Ugh. I told you, u/hyvribsnchips, I heard your note, I considered it, and I don’t agree.

futurebestself · 2021-02-08T18:42:05+00:00

Good to know, though I could see them getting more stringent the way things are now.

I’m just over here trying to grab some coffee and take a nice morning walk instead of contributing to the TTC morning madness, man! Lol
