I don’t think yellow is a good idea for your apartment. Because the floor is older it has yellow undertones, and I’m sure that around the apartment as well there are yellow undertones. which of you paint your cabinets yellow, will come out more making everything look dated.

I think you should leave the top cabinets alone, if anything get new handles and straighten them out. The stain of the wood and is really pretty and classic.

If you want a pop of color, I would paint your lower cabinets a dark to medium gray/blue, and have some bronze handles to pop. Something like SW 7602

As for floor tiles, check out this store on Etsy. They sell ready to use tile stickers that can go on top of whatever you have now. They have both floor and wall ones. For your floor, I think something like this could look nice.

For a backsplash, they make beautiful peel and sticks that don’t break the bank. Some I like are:

one

two

three

By keeping the backsplash neutral you can have your cabinets pop. And also giving your kitchen a clean modern look.

For carts, something like these could work, just make sure whatever cart you do end up buying is the same height as your counter.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you got any questions

Here's the link! There's a few copy cats of their stuff but this is the original cart. it's super sturdy and pretty cheap!

Here is the board I use: Catskill Butcher Block

It is bigger, end grain and around the same price. Had it for about three years now and still going strong. Really good board.

u/katrane · 4 pointsr/BarBattlestations

Of course. I got it off of Amazon for $127. Assembly took a few hours and was somewhat tedious. The handles for the cabinets ended up being too short for the holes that were already drilled in, so I ended up going to Home Depot and getting 4" handles that look better anyway. Otherwise, I love how much storage space it has. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Is there enough room for a portable kitchen island? That's what saved my ass when I had a tiny kitchen with no prep space. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Winsome-92534-Mali-Kitchen-Cart/dp/B006WYUT18/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1492205096&sr=1-1&keywords=kitchen+island

u/you_clod · 3 pointsr/TrollXWeddings

Before we got married, my husband and I had lived together for about 6/7 years so we didn't need a lot as far as home stuff goes. I think we had added a replacement set of silverware, a toaster oven, and one of these utility cart things. The rest of our list was all the fun stuff we wanted like a PS4, crafting supplies for me, and computer stuff for my husband. Since that was our list, I think most people didn't know what to do with our registry and didn't really want to buy our fun stuff so they gave us cash. By the end I think 75% of our guests gave us cash. They also gave it in person at the wedding, so we didn't get any of our "gifts" until the end.

Edit: Also, now that I think about it, the few physical gifts we got were mostly received after the wedding

I was given this for my birthday a couple years ago: http://www.amazon.com/Winsome-Wood-Entertainment-Cart-Espresso/dp/B000GLRG32

It works pretty well, I modified the wine glass holders with a dremel to accommodate glencairns.

http://i.imgur.com/aOIMH.jpg

Older picture, but you get the idea. I put short bottles under the glencairns, and I can keep smaller glasses on the lower wine rack, and bottles with screw tops or synthetic corks on the upper one.

I think the frame is made out of L-shaped bars, so the side is low enough to stop the album from falling outside.

Edit : No, someone else found it, there are handles on each sides.

u/Straydapp · 3 pointsr/Cooking

Your boards are likely edge grain, not end grain. Boos and similar are end grain and the best surface for your knives if you're doing wood. Boos is a name brand and you pay for it, but I got an awesome end grain 20x20x3 board for around $100 and it's totally worth it. The same board from boos would be 300+.

Amazon. Yes it's stainless, the wood isn't super high quality, but it's a notch above Ikea.

u/heyfergy · 2 pointsr/coffeestations

Thanks! It's the Boraam 98520 Sonoma Wire-Brush Kitchen Cart. It goes on sale every now and then - I think I paid $179. The quality is really impressive for the price and it's quite solid.

It's this: https://www.amazon.com/YAMAZAKI-home-7151-Rolling-Kitchen/dp/B008D8E3CM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Yamazaki&qid=1554502524&s=furniture&sr=8-3

Yamazaki cart. It's super skinny, like I can open my door all the way to the door stop and not hit it. It also holds A LOT.

Edit: the links I inserted below have parentheses within the link themselves so I apologise for the bad formatting

You need to establish the two areas of the rooms, the kitchen/dining area, as well as the living space. An area rug would work best in the main space. I would go with coordinating small round rug and one small kitchen floor mat in front of the sink.

I also suggest a small kitchen island with foldable counterspace as well as a cuppy underneath for the microwave. A couple of bar stools and you also have a dining space. This can go directly where the microwave is currently. If you get one on wheels it could easily be used for other sort of things such as game night to fit four people at.

The plant is a nice touch and I always say the more greenery the better. Focus on low light, low water plants for easiest indoor maintenance.

You also definitely need curtains.

A large decorative mirror as well as some art work on the wall above the sofa would brighten the space up as well as make it look larger. I would also move the tall lamp to the opposite corner near the TV and get a nice table lamp instead for beside the couch.

I'll include some links for pieces I would go for, based on the current color scheme available through the sofa and throw pillows.

u/jletourneau · 2 pointsr/cocktails

I bought this 28-by-18-inch kitchen cart off Amazon; fits a couple dozen bottles in the bottom compartment and most of the necessary bar tools in the drawer. Not especially cheap, but it's nice-looking and pretty solid (I did swap out the drawer slides for better-quality ones, though).

u/homeallday · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

It's beautiful... :D

Because I'd kill for more counter/cabinet space. Also, something to make my kitchen pretty! :P

u/bjwest · 2 pointsr/food

Holy mother of god... You can damn near get three of those on Amazon.com for that price. With a much better SS top as well. You can't effectively use that as a chopping surface with it on wheels.

edit: Ok, Hamsterdam said similar 10 hours ago.. I'm a bit late in the conversation.

u/chalks777 · 2 pointsr/Cooking

I got this monster on January 2nd, 2014. I still have it and I still love it. It's not a cutting board, it's a cutting station. I can prep two or three veggies at once without running into space problems. Weighs a ton though, so moving it around might not be much fun.

u/Vomath · 1 pointr/InteriorDesign

What about having a table and a kitchen cart like this? The counters look fine for day-to-day cooking, but if you need a little more space, you can pull it over where it's convenient. If you don't need it, stash it along the wall, and its just storage.

u/aaronvin · 1 pointr/blackstonegriddle

Oh, and I bought this cart off Amazon: HOMCOM Wood Stainless Steel... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G9C5ZYP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I didn't install the shelf and paper towel holder, but I might try to find a place for them... maybe in the cabinet area?

I bought this board for my SO for our anniversary and its beautiful. It was under $100 when I purchased it (although has gone up a tad, but may drop again, I would put a watch on it).

Found the cart on Amazon if anyone's interested

We got it on amazon!! It’s not the sturdiest, but for the price, it’s a nice little table!

How about a rolling kitchen cart?:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FLRV1M2

u/TriLife12 · 1 pointr/DesignMyRoom

I love all these tips.

Accent Wall: Would you suggest a lighter or darker color for the accent wall? Would a light or a dark blue work well? Or is it too difficult to say? The master bedroom is painted a lighter color blue and it works well with those floors.

Bar Cart: Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Baxton-Studio-Lancashire-Metal-Kitchen/dp/B00VMIERSU/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=buffet+cart&qid=1565634770&s=gateway&sr=8-2#customerReviews

Chairs: Going to keep what I have there. I like the industrial look of them. Which means I'll need to update the lighting fixture that I have there.

u/StillARedditor · 1 pointr/DesignMyRoom

Crappy Paint Mockup of how I'd live as a single young person in this space: https://imgur.com/a/2PCm7bA (If you are a couple and need TWO sets of multiple monitors, this wouldn't be sufficient, but I can't tell how many computers you need running at once here.)

I agree that your first stop should probably be ikea. They'll have good-enough desks that will look pretty good and work pretty well for a solid decade. You might look into an adjustable height desk so you can play with your optimal height. Or with a standard fixed desk, I agree on the previous comment that you probably want an L-shape.

Why do you hate couches? When I was in a small apartment, I got a "chair and a half" -- it easily fit two people that were happy to be close together. (It had a storage ottoman (more seating!) and folded out into a twin bed. It was the best.) You do need SOME nice comfy seating to curl up in. Ikea also has plenty of chairs. You do want at least two and something to put drinks and books down on nearby. Could be two chairs and an end table, or a coffee table, or a rigid tray on an ottoman.

Bookshelves. A nice freestanding ladder shelf would be good. Tons of styles, like https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-Bookcase-Bathroom-Furniture-ULLS44X/dp/B074X7WT6D


Here is a storage ottoman that is easily moved from place to place. Great to have a few around to unfold and put away as needs change. Less expensive than the fancy upholstered kind. You can rest your legs on it from a chair and then use it as extra seating when you have people over. https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-ULSF47K-Foldable-Space-Saving-Capacity/dp/B07JQ22YYS

The desk chairs look really ... young. Hard to advise there, though. If you spend significant time on the computer, I think it's better to prioritize function over form, or you WILL have body problems down the road. Get nicer looking chairs if you can. If you can't and these are working great for your body... eh. Make everything else look nice. You probably only need one desk chair, unless there's two of you with two PCs?

You may want a kitchen island to give you more counter space and storage space. You desperately need counter space. Here is an inexpensive one but they are all over the map for style. https://www.amazon.com/Casual-Home-Kitchen-American-Hardwood/dp/B00ROX6VRW/

You probably also want some shelves between the dishwasher and the balcony. Shallow for just glassware or deeper for holding actual dishes. Just give yourself a wide path between that and any island that divides the kitchen from the living.

I am thinking you don't need a dining table and chairs, so make your living space do dining duty. Or get a kitchen island unit that includes a bar and put barstools there.

Don't forget lamps. Good lighting will make this a home, and those will travel with you.

u/Aalynia · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

We had one of those in my old apartment! The issue with that kitchen was that it had room for a breakfast table with two seats, but not a lot of countertop space/storage. The island helped fill in that gap. I was able to fit a toaster oven on it and it had a section that lifted up if I wanted more room to cut things, etc. Kind of like this one, but mine had cabinets at the bottom: http://www.amazon.com/Winsome-Wood-Utility-Cart-Natural/dp/B000NPOO68/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1369157788&sr=1-1&keywords=kitchen+cart

It was definitely a life saver in that place! I hope you figure out your kitchen situation too <3

u/bretstar · 0 pointsr/Flipping

Butcher block is pretty expensive, though I'm not sure if you could make a "knock off" or not. Here's one similar to the one in the post.
