We did purchase our cabinets during the IKEA Kitchen Event. Although I love getting money back, we did experience a lot of out of stock pieces which meant we had to wait before starting anything.
We used base cabinets to create the kitchen island which also doubles as the home to our sink and dishwasher. At the time, it was nearly impossible to find any instructions on how to create a free standing IKEA kitchen island, which is why I put together this one. Let’s just say, it’s definitely not a beginner’s project!
Since our kitchen is small, we decided to do everything ourselves. This is the first time we actually gutted a kitchen and started from scratch (check blog post).
We were able to assemble the cabinets in one night and it took us another two nights to install everything in place. I will admit, if we had a bigger kitchen to deal with, I probably would have hired someone to deal with the nitty gritty. There’s a lot of boxes.
The floating shelves are a great solution to add more storage to our kitchen. It’s also a fun way to display my favourite items which I can easily change up from time to time. Check out Pink Little Notebook’s blog post for more images and info.
