Because we're doing such a big remodel, we had to cut costs as best we could. After a ton of research, I decided on cabinets from Ikea that are a black/brown color. For some reason finding flat front cabinets instead of shaker style cabinets for a good price was impossible. It's beyond me why a flat piece of wood would cost more than the detail of shaker cabinets...but what do I know.

We also decided on no upper cabinets. The layout of the kitchen just didn't really allow for uppers, and after seeing kitchens with no uppers, I decided I really liked the look. I just seems more open and airy. I hope I don't regret that decision!
Have you been in kitchens without upper cabinets? Do you think you could live without them? Also, anyone else have Ikea cabinets? I'd love your feedback!

just scrolled through some old posts and i am totes jelly of your mid mod house!!! ian and i die for anything mid mod, but they are so dang expensive (and pretty much all need remodels too). Defs following!
ReplyDeleteNo uppers sounds awesome! I can't wait to see how the remodel turns out!
ReplyDeletei've been dying to remodel my kitchen, and am also drawn to white kitchens. love the airy and clean look. your inspiration pics look lovely! can't wait to see your reveal!
ReplyDeleteI think as long as you have enough storage space, uppers aren't a necessity. Maybe floating shelves for some of your glassware/ceramics? I think YoungHouseLove did that and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteOur current house no uppers. Look, it's ok but from a storage perspective hard. I do like the idea of exposed shelves tho. That's something else to think of
ReplyDeleteyes! All these kitchens are dreamy :-) I would especially like the landscape of the last one! hello water!!

All of these kitchens are beautiful. We need a ton of storage so I don't think I could live without upper cabinets.

We couldn't live without uppers just because we seriously need that space for storage. If you have enough room below I think it's a great look and you could include some open shelving which is a great look too. We have 3 rows of open shelves that we love.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
