I was nervous about ordering this without seeing it and trusting in my own measurements. We previously had a bottom style double waste container sliding shelf that wore out. This new one is amazing compared to the old one. It has sturdy hinges, a cool feature that automatically (slowly) closes the last half inch even if you tried to push it closed hard and let go. My cabinets did have a shorter height, but were exactly 18" wide and about 23" depth. I had some shorter garbage cans that fit the unit and modified my installation to accommodate for the different height. It worked perfectly. My wife loves it too. It takes a slightly more effort to open than what I was expecting but I prefer it now. Because I was performing a "custom installation" it took me a little longer than the 45 minutes the directions indicated. End result was worth it.
Cabinet drawers are a convenient and practical addition to any home or office space. There are so many different options and benefits when shopping for cabinet drawers and drawer slides. Whether you are looking to provide a neat and organized way to store a wide range of items, from utensils and dishware in the kitchen, to office supplies or documents in a home office or workspace, choosing the correct drawer and drawer slide combination is something to take serious.
One of the key benefits of cabinet drawers is their ability to maximize storage space. Unlike shelves or cupboards, drawers can be fitted with dividers and organizers to keep items neatly arranged and easy to find. This makes them a great option for small spaces, where every inch of storage is valuable.
Another advantage of cabinet drawers is their versatility. Drawers come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect fit for your needs and aesthetic preferences. From traditional wood drawers to modern, sleek designs, there is a cabinet drawer option to suit any space.
When shopping for cabinet drawers, it’s important to consider the materials and construction. High-quality drawers are typically made from sturdy materials like wood or metal, and feature smooth-gliding, full-extension slides for easy access to contents.
Additionally, consider the type of drawer that will best suit your needs. For example, soft-close drawers are a great option for a kitchen, as they prevent slamming and potential damage to items inside. Drawers with built-in organizers, such as dividers and compartments, are also helpful for keeping items neatly arranged and you will truly benefit from adding this option.
Overall, cabinet drawers are a versatile and practical addition to any space, providing a convenient and organized way to store a wide range of items. Whether you’re looking to maximize storage in a small space or simply want a neat and organized solution, cabinet drawers are a great option to consider.
An Amazing Lift System and Gold Hardware Lift This Kitchen to the Highest Level
As if the ultra-white walls and cabinets in this kitchen weren’t enough each day to wake you up and keep you that way for the next 3 days, then some super strong java made from the coffee caddy here just might. A quick first glance had me thinking this caddy was sitting atop a butcher block cutting board, not unlike one of the many we have for sale here at www.WoodworkerExpress.com.
I really can’t overstate just how fabulous their incorporation of gold finished hardware works in harmony with this bright white kitchen backdrop. From a design perspective, I would’ve expected a satin nickel finish…always a trustworthy option but, here, the choice was made to ‘go for the gold’…where have we heard that before?
You’ve also got to appreciate the amazing Lift System just above the caddy. I’m not sure if (m)any of you have had a chance to actually use one of these but, they are undeniably great! I’m just fascinated by how smooth, streamlined (and strong) they design these units to be. The arms on these are designed so precisely…they’re practically scientific in their make-up. We carry all of the top Lift Systems brands currently getting it done at a high level,… those top performers include: Blum, Grass and Salice. We’ve also got EZ configuration wizards on our site to help with the planning of your order and fulfillment of the right unit including ALL of the accompanying parts.
If you like Gold (and Lift Systems)…we’re your one-stop shop…can’t you tell?
When I think of my own personal definition of streamlined, I apply it to different items that I interact with regularly.
Not that I live a trashy life…I don’t, but as a homeowner I do interact with refuse and this Rev-A-Shelf dual top mount trash pull-out meets that definition for me. When mounted directly to this frameless cabinet front the result is a smooth, lightweight pull action. If you’ve never owned a mounted trash pull-out kit, trust us when we tell you you’ll want one. Turns out, Woodworker Express has a huge selection of brands in stock to meet your requirements regarding function, fit and finish.
Pulling back a bit more, we’ve got a really nice kitchen excerpt here. As I mentioned in my last post, one of my favorite finishes is on display here: Oil-Rubbed Bronze. Ultra-classy and so unbelievably suitable in so many decorative scenarios. Not only are the pulls adorned in ORB, so too is the faucet…
I think the stairs look amazing, but the lack of hand railing might make me reconsider my new hobby of sleepwalking. I reckon Woodworker Express could help out with some railing options…last I heard, there’s a spot on the site for those types of products.
I could go on about this nice gray kitchen with a fabulous trash pull-out Oil Rubbed Bronze highlights, but upon noticing the oven hiding in back there, I’m reminded that I’ve got a Range Oven Ignitor component piece to replace later today…no flame, no dinner! The chef beckons for the repair…so I’ll see you all next week.
Please be sure to check out the products (tagged featured and/or mentioned here), which are similar to or the same as the actual products shown. This is what accessorizing is all about here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the owners of this kitchen have an endorsement with Rev-A-Shelf, there’s so many nice things here! What’s more…they know where everything is and goes. I cannot boast of that, ask my spouse…she knows where things go…especially the rolling pin! Which everyone knows goes in a nice wood cutlery drawer….It really is a case of base organizer pull-out mania here, I’d guess. Speaking of which, there’s plenty of that going on at www.WoodworkerExpress.com. Come look at our pantry and drawer organizers…you’ll be conveniently amazed!
Who wants to belly-up to the bar….or at least the kitchen counter? To that end, isn’t this surely a nice kitchen on display here? Fantastic wood tones and great incorporation of one of my favorite hardware finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze. That finish reminds me of colonial times….not that I’d know anything about that time period, but I will confess, I’ve been accused of sounding like I’m 100 years old with some degree of regularity…can anyone else relate? Speaking of Oil Rubbed Bronze, check out the pulls on the glass-covered cabinet to the right….it matches the stool legs to a “T”. Ditto for the round knobs on the cabinet just above it. Classy!
As I see it, this designer…or creatively talented homeowner has a real knack for “putting it all together”. As pretty as this all is, some of the details that make using it a real pleasure are hardly visible. Those things include soft-close and self-close drawer slides and hinges….and believe me, those details are nice and make a real difference! For practicality’s sake, they can help you successfully sneak a snack in the middle of the night without the loud retracting of the ‘silverware drawer’ to blow your cover — that’s never good. Semi-relatedly, all pet owners know that you’ll NEVER sneak a snack past the dog…no matter what!
Not to get off track, but I have to mention that we’ve got a great selection of kitchen sinks, faucets, and related accessories. After all, what’s a kitchen without a sink and faucet? Technically, it’d probably be considered a lunchbox/cooler combo that you can stand up and socialize in.
Let me try to sum this all up before I go completely off this tangential track to nowhere…If the kitchen you own needs a thing…or ten, to get it whupped back into acceptable aesthetic shape, then WoodworkerExpress.com would be the route to go. Online or via phone, we are the advocates and support system for you and your kitchen rehabilitation. Lean on us to help you make it great!
No other room in a home sees activity the way a kitchen does. It’s where we gather with friends and family. Kids sit on counters and share their stories while we cook dinner and friends may sip wine at the breakfast bar when they come to visit. The kitchen is a place for socializing, cooking, and eating. Follow these tips for remodeling your kitchen and make your kitchen the place everyone wants to be.
Make a Plan
Every great design begins with a plan. Grab a notebook and pen and jot down some ideas for the remodel and how they might be accomplished. Here are some questions to get you started:
Who will do the work?
What’s the timeline?
What do you love about your current kitchen?
What needs changing?
After asking those questions, decide how to make the changes happen.
Define a Budget
In a perfect world, there would be no budget and we’d all change our kitchens in whatever way we choose and as often as we like. But, if you are like me, you must set a budget for a kitchen remodel and try to stick to it.
It’s so easy to go over-budget a little here and a little there, thinking you’ll make up the difference somewhere else.
Unfortunately, construction surprises may come along during a remodeling project that have to be taken care of, which makes the chance of correcting the difference more difficult.
Have an understanding up front of what everything will cost, know what you can afford, and set your budget for the project. If something needs to be cut out, you may be able to add it back in later down the road.
Where to Save Money
A kitchen remodel doesn’t mean everything must be brand new. The best way to save money on your remodeling project is to keep as much of what you already have but reuse or repurpose it in the new design.
Cabinets
Cabinets are often the first thing people think of during a kitchen remodel. They’re impossible to hide, used daily, and vital to an efficient kitchen. They are also one of the most expensive items to replace in a kitchen. Here’s the good news—you don’t have to replace them completely. Try these ideas instead:
Paint your current cabinets rather than replacing them. You can save thousands of dollars.
Tear down one area of cabinets and replace them with open shelving for a new look. Simple shelves and brackets from your favorite online or home improvement stores make this easy.
Reface cabinets with laminates on drawer fronts, cabinet boxes, and doors for a whole new look.
Adding or replacing decorative hardware can dramatically change the look of your kitchen.
Don’t Move Plumbing
Don’t try to rearrange anything in your kitchen that involves plumbing, if at all possible. (Some examples are a sink or refrigerator with water dispenser or ice maker.) Moving plumbing around is messy, time consuming, and expensive.
Keep the Layout
If your desire is to create a new kitchen while not spending too much money, don’t change the kitchen layout too much.
Changing a layout is when costs begin to add up. Just like plumbing, keep counters and cabinets in the same configuration and make changes in different ways. Your remodel will be quicker, less messy, and less expensive.
Do the Work Yourself
In some areas of a remodel, hiring a professional is unavoidable. Whatever you can do yourself will help you save a lot of money.
Painting or installing hardware are tasks you can learn about online or in books and do on your own. Other aspects of the remodel, such as anything to do with electricity, will require a licensed electrician if it’s not your area of expertise.
Where to Invest
Sure, you were hoping this article was all about how to save money. It’s definitely high on the priority list, but some areas of your remodel are worth a little extra investment.
As you save on the projects you can do yourself or areas that won’t need to be changed, use the extra money to purchase kitchen items that will stand out, work more efficiently, and really pull your remodel together. Here are some ideas:
Invest in strong, high-quality countertops that will stand the test of time. Beautiful granite or quartz counters can become the center of attention in the kitchen.
Make sure all appliances match and look up to date. Staying within the same brand helps to ensure colors and shades coordinate perfectly.
Modernizing light fixtures instantly brightens a kitchen and gives a new feel. Search for unique fixtures that stand out.
Today, there are a wide variety of kitchen sinks in different shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from. Sinks take a beating so, consider a new sink a worthwhile investment. Spend on a beautiful but durable one.
The same goes for your faucet. A stunning faucet can be so eye-catching.
Don’t overlook improving storage. Invest in organizer pull-outs and other storage elements you didn’t have before.
If you’ve never had a backsplash or yours is outdated, then investing in one is a great idea. The backsplash brings the design together and sets the tone of the kitchen.
Know Your Style
This can be a tough one if you’ve never really considered what your style is. Search through magazines and websites online and get a feel for what you love in a kitchen. As you get ideas, remember you can alter them to suit your own needs and budget.
Choose a style for the kitchen and stick with it for your design..
Think Outside the Box
Give yourself time to plan your kitchen remodel. This is a big investment and should be planned appropriately.. Give yourself enough time to explore different options… adding or subtracting until you design your perfect space.
Get creative with color palettes for walls and cabinets. It’s your kitchen so design it accordingly. Trends are a great springboard for ideas but, in the end, you create your kitchen to be whatever you want it to be.
Storage is another area where creativity can flow. Maybe add open shelves holding staple pantry items, such as flour and sugar. You could also have baskets to hold measuring cups, spoons, or other kitchen tools.
Thinking outside the box is a great way to add uniqueness when remodeling your kitchen.

Rev-A-Shelf Triple 25 Quart Bottom Mount Recycling Center (SKU #11229909)
Poor design or a lack of storage leads to cabinets and drawers shoved full of unorganized items, and that makes cooking in the kitchen less than desirable. Let’s discuss some awesome ways to add pull-out storage to what already exists so you can start making your kitchen work for you.
Trash and Recycling
There simply is no way to make trash and recycling look attractive, but pull-out storage can help hide it. Trash pull-outs are mounted one of four ways: mounted to the bottom of a cabinet and slide out when needed, top mounted with slides and drop-in waste bins, rotating lazy susan style mounts for corner cabinets, and door mounts that pivot out when a cabinet door is opened. They can be purchased with one, two, or even three properly fitting waste cans with one for kitchen waste and the others for dividing your recyclables.
Pots and Pans
Let’s face it—no one is sure how to handle the storage dilemma of pots and pans. They are big, bulky, and come in too many odd shapes. There are several answers to this problem?
Pull-out baskets designed specifically for things like pots, pans, and all those mix-and-match plastic containers. Yes, you can even get those under control. The great thing about pull-out baskets is that they are often preassembled, making them easy to install.
Base Cabinet Cookware organizer pull-outs are the Cadillac of organizers. Mount the organizers in the bottom of a cabinet and slide everything out all at once. These organizers include wire dividers to keep all of your pots and pans separated.
And, new to the market are top-mount slider pot and pan organizers. A customizable hook rack system is mounted to the inside top of your cabinets. Hang your pots and pans on the hooks and slide them all out on the track when you need them.
You could have your pots and pans organized by dinner time tonight.
Under the Sink
This has to be the scariest cabinet in every home. With pipes from the drain, garbage disposals, and a few unidentified objects we dare not touch, storage is limited to a few odds and ends.
For added storage in this area, try door-mounted storage for items such as cutting boards, or opt for pull-out caddies that are designed with a low frame to avoid the snakes of piping and tubes under the sink.
Keep the items you use frequently in these caddies, such as dish soap, sponges, and cleaning supplies. This way, you can easily pull out the caddy whenever you need them.
Hide Appliances
Additional counter space is a close runner-up after the desire for more storage. You can give yourself that extra space using an appliance lift. A heavy duty appliance lift pulls up and out of a cabinet, holding a small appliance such as a mixer, then smoothly lowers and goes back into the cabinet when its job is done.
Now, you can impress your family with homemade baked goods and enjoy an uncluttered counter at the same time.
Wine
Pots, pans, and the like are important in the kitchen, but are they as important as wine? Probably not. Wall hanging wine racks take up wall space, and countertop racks use precious working space. Enter the pull-out wine storage rack.
These fabulous racks attach inside a cabinet and multiple shelf racks for wine. Each one moves in and out individually, allowing easy access to your favorite reds, whites, and rosés. An added benefit is the wine is now stored in a dark place, which ideal to keep your precious wine inventory out of the light, possibly making pull-out wine racks one of the most awesome ways to add pull-out storage.
Woodworker Express offers kitchen base cabinet pull-outs and many other cabinet and kitchen storage improvement options. Let us know what your storage concerns are, and we will help you find the best solution.
Kitchen cabinets are quite an investment and can often be repaired rather than replaced. Quality, age, and style help determine which path to take.
When updating a kitchen or just trying to make it function better, improving things without over-spending can be tough. Cabinets, which include all cabinet bases, doors, drawers, and hardware, play a major role in kitchen design and function. It’s helpful to take inventory of factors such as quality, cost, and style, as these elements play an important role in deciding if you should repair or replace kitchen cabinets.
Quality Matters
The main thing to consider is the quality of the cabinetry. Is it worth saving?
If the cabinets are solid hardwood and have stood the test of time, refinishing and fixing them up might be worth the work and cost savings. If you are going to put in the time for repairs but will have to repeat the repairs regularly because of poor quality, replacing may be a better option.
Damaged Drawers, Cabinet Bases, and Doors
Even a well-maintained and high-quality set of kitchen cabinets can see its fair share of damage through the years. Too many deep scratches on doors, drawers with faces that are falling off, or cabinet bases with corners nearly gone from years of wood chipping away are sometimes beyond repair.
On the other hand, with the right skills, some repairs can go a long way. Maybe that crooked drawer just needs a new undermount slide, or perhaps you could make the scratched drawer look like new with some wood filler, sanding, and fresh paint.
When deciding if you should repair or replace kitchen cabinets, check every area to see if the damage is extensive enough to warrant replacing rather than repairing.
The Layout Isn’t Working
Repairs can’t do much for the kitchen if you don’t like the layout of the cabinets. In this case, a complete remodel may need to take place rather than fixing up what you currently have.
Style
Style is another tough factor to consider but, sometimes, it’s possible to repair and upgrade an outdated style rather than replace it entirely. If you have old metal cabinets and want to swap them with wood then, by all means, replace the cabinets. However, if the style issue is simply the color of your cabinets, it will be far less expensive to paint the cabinets than replace them.
Decide what your style is, and go from there. Get creative, and you may see ways you can incorporate your new style into your old cabinets.
Hardware
The easiest thing to replace on kitchen cabinets and drawers is the hardware. There is no need to replace cabinets if the hardware is the only issue. You can easily install new drawer pulls, cabinet knobs, and even undermount drawer glides, replacing old, worn-out ones. Even if the old hardware is in great shape, you can replace it with a more updated look. Woodworker Express has everything you need for kitchen cabinet and drawer repairs, along with many other options for improving the style, storage, and function of your kitchen
Spring cleaning is right around the corner, but you don’t have to wait until spring to organize your kitchen! Any day is a great day to start creating a kitchen that is easy and fun to work in.This guide to effectively organizing your kitchenwill help you get started with simple ideas that will get your creative juices flowing and your kitchen feeling like new!
Clean It All Out
It’s not a lot of fun, but cleaning out all the cabinets, drawers, and pantry shelves is the best way to see what you have, what you can get rid of, and what you need to keep. Once everything is empty and you have gone through what can be ditched, give the cabinets, shelving, and drawers a good cleaning. If you are going through the trouble of organizing, you might as well have a clean slate.
Once you have cleaned everything out, you can start making a list of which areas need better organization. As you think about it, start considering what you can do to make that organization work.
Search for Helpful Organizers
You can begin by looking around your house for containers, such as small and medium plastic boxes or baskets, to see if they can fit into your organizing solution. To get the most out of organizing, you might also want to consider adding some things to cabinets and drawers to help you stay organized. Things such as a base cabinet pullout organizer are helpful in keeping cabinets tidy. You can also use small drawer organizers to keep small items separate.
The options are endless when it comes to finding what you need to make your kitchen work better for you. You can install shelving, drawer inserts, and pullouts to instantly improve your organization.
Everything Has a Place
Just like your mother used to say: put things back where they belong! Once you spend the time and money to organize your kitchen, don’t let it go back to how it was! It is much easier to put everything back in its place rather than letting it spin out of control again and having to start all over. For example, if you organize your spices alphabetically, then by all means, put the cinnamon back on the “C” shelf.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Make the heart function at its best by following our guide to effectively organizing your kitchen. Woodworker Express is here to help you along the way.
Concealed hinges, also called European hinges, offer a clean finish and are often preferred for a more minimalist or modern type look. Choosing the right type of hinge will depend on what type of cabinet or door you have and what kind of look you prefer. Here is what you need to know about concealed hinges.
When To Use a Concealed Hinge
If you prefer hinges not to show at all from the outside of a cabinet or door, concealed hinges are what you are looking for. They can be used with any type of door and give you that simplified look you are trying to achieve.
Easy To Install
You can install concealed hinges on any door, whether a cabinet or just a door in the hallway. Talk with knowledgeable people when looking for cabinet hinges for sale.
If you are going to install the hinges yourself, be sure to prepare the proper hinges and materials you’ll need. You’ll also need a tape measure and a drill. The installation process only takes some measuring, drilling, and screwing, and you’ll be done. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to complete your project.
The great thing about concealed hinges is that they are hard to mess up. The way they are installed won’t leave drill holes that are visible, so if you make a mistake, no one will ever know. Also, with the turn of a screwdriver, you can move the doors up and down or side to side for adjustment, unlike with traditional hinges, which require sanding or planing the doors for adjustments.
Repairing a Broken Concealed Hinge
Since we actually live in our homes, things are going to break once in a while. The daily use of cabinet doors especially can take its toll. Thankfully, a concealed hinge is an easy fix. If the hinge has completely snapped or is beyond repair, then replacement is probably necessary. If you learned how to install the hinge the first time, then this will be an easy fix.
A common issue with cabinet doors is a stripped screw hole. You go to tighten up the screw because it has come loose, only to find that it turns and won’t tighten. Grab some toothpicks, dip a few in wood glue, and fill the loosened hole with toothpicks until you can’t fit anymore. Cut off the tips of the toothpicks, and you should be able to drill a new screw into the hole. Woodworker Express is here to help you with what you need to know about concealed hinges, as well as all other door and cabinetry questions.
