@Stan Galat said: The old cabinets and appliances ...... just aren't stylish enough for the average American woman (who doesn't really want to cook anymore anyhow)."
That's how I got my garage shop cabinets:
My contractor son-in-law calls me one day and tells me he's doing a kitchen renovation including all new cabinets in a '70's home and did I want the old ones he's taking out? "They look really nice, but she wants glass front units, instead - And not white."
So I go get them and later find out that the previous owner had a new kitchen installed in order to sell the house. The cabinets they were taking out weren't even two years old! Self-closing drawers, HD ball bearing glides everywhere, dual rotating corner units, Birch Veneer (not paint), the works. I added LED bench lights under the hanging units (they're wicked bright) and did a simple counter top (I hope, someday, to find some used oak flooring to install as a better counter top) and that was it. The new owner lady is happy, and so am I!
