Love your incremental kitchen remodel and will follow in your footsteps. Question: Have you done anything more with your inner kitchen base cabinets? I remember a post about a DIY slide-out shelf. In our kitchen, there is a traditional long base cabinet with the slimmer shelf above. At this point in my life, I'm sick and tired of having to get down on my knees to retrieve pots, pans, and having to search for whatever. I'm wondering, in your opinion, Sarah, would it be more cost effective to replace that section of bottom cabinetry with a new base cabinet which already has slide out shelves, or hire someone to install the slide-outs from Home Depot or Lowe's? Our Uppers and some of our Lowers are still in good shape and work well, except for this long base cabinet.

I would like to do something like this but the layout is a mess. We wouldn't be able to open the fridge. No complaints though b/c our last kitchen was the same size as our current breakfast bar. No joke. Three upper cabinets (one was really small like an above fridge cabinet) and three lowers. That was it.kimberly heltonnoreply@blogger.com
