Unorthodox(?) DIY kitchen cabinet/shelf question
All, Perhaps I should know this but, is there any reason you can't, or shouldn't, just build shelves onto a kitchen wall, box them in, and install cabinetry faces and doors down the entire run? One of my pet peeves about cabinets has always been the side between each cabinet and the wasted space I feel it makes. Petty in most instances, I'm aware, but cabinets that are basically just long continuous shelves in function and look like regular cabinets are more or less what I'm wanting to make, as I haven't been able to find anything like that online, neither products nor instructions. Am I barking up the wrong tree with this, i.e. weight distribution, structural integrity issues, kitchen specificconcerns I'mnot considering? Or is this something reasonably doable, at least conceptually? submitted by /u/Peasticks [link] [comments]
