However, I would leave the uppers on the oven/fridge wall so your young man client wouldn't have to stress over being so organized! How about frosted glass panels in dark wood with industrial-looking stainless or brushed nickle pulls? And I second Terry's idea to salvage those bar brackets for another project!Tracy Watierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173203339834757559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012693511371048492.post-72843946793520767542009-08-18T09:00:01.731-07:002009-08-18T09:00:01.731-07:00I so agree with the open shelving.

I am almost 60 but love industrial. When I gut my kitchen, it's going to be all open shelves and I'm using Whirlpool gladiator tool drawers for cabinets. My neighbor thinks I am nuts. I tell him if the next person doesn't like it, they can just roll out the cabinets and start over!home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012693511371048492.post-53708165268150925532009-08-18T02:36:17.598-07:002009-08-18T02:36:17.598-07:00I love your ideas.

For some reason, I'm inclined to see them sprayed with black lacquer, but I might just be having a moment. <br /><br />Anyway, great ideas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662654081230585578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012693511371048492.post-52345281530382886632009-08-17T18:24:09.795-07:002009-08-17T18:24:09.795-07:00I like very much what you have done with opening u...I like very much what you have done with opening up the space and taking out the upper cabinets.

If you love to cook, you can have everything easily accessible, and if you can't cook, you can create a beautiful display.<br /><br />I absolutely agree - a little paint ain't gonna help this situation!

Also from my single man days I certainly didn't have anything I'd want to display on shelves. As a not young married man, I like your proposal, particularly dumping the cabinets over the bar thing: the worst element in the current kitchen. Save the scroll brackets for something else. What color is the range - I don't understand.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154846109609330503noreply@blogger.com
