The gap behing the cabinets is covered ...Hi Benji,<br /><br />The gap behing the cabinets is covered by the countertop. You just see the counter when looking from above. We open the cupboards from the bottom of the doors which is not very difficult since the cabinet is floating. I think Ikea may also have push latches that you can install to open the doors by just pushing the door. I know that blum makes them if Ikea doesn't have them. I hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010234535625881956.post-64080532030942779482015-12-01T03:30:30.822-05:002015-12-01T03:30:30.822-05:00I really like this hack and would love to try the ...I really like this hack and would love to try the same @Home.

I thought it would be nice to use the same marble in the dining room to tie in with the kitchen and was happy not to have any marble go to waste. We saved the cherry to hopefully use for another project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010234535625881956.post-12602599529743841252015-07-29T09:28:15.924-04:002015-07-29T09:28:15.924-04:00I noticed a marble-looking top on the sideboard in...I noticed a marble-looking top on the sideboard in other photos.

We got our top at an actual lumbar mill that carried all sorts of wood. They had quite a few large pieces including live edge pieces that were large enough for tables as well. They also planed the wood there as well. I'm thinking you may need to look for a mill that specializes in wood for furniture building (i.e., on that custom planes wood pieces for you). I hope that helps.

I have a question about the measurements- you said you got a piece of cherry wood for the top that was 12" deep, but the measurements for the cabinets on the Ikea website say those particular cabinets are 12 7/8" deep, so almost 13". I assume you didn't use a 1 x 12 board, because the actual measurement for that is 3/4" x 11-1/4". Would you mind telling me the instructions you gave the lumber yard where you had the board milled? The lumber yard that I called where I live said that anything wider than 12" cannot be a single board, they have to be glued together. Any advice would be appreciated!
