[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done a kitchen remodel and I'm baffled as to how you could possibly find used cabinets that would fit in your unique space.

I too worked on a strict budget, but saved for a few years to do it right, no purpose in half assing it.[/quote]

Half sweat and half the luck of the gods.  This is why I recommended YoungHouseLove above.  They were reusing their existing cabinets, but adding a peninsula.  They started with the dimensions that they were trying to fill, searched and finally found cabinets the could be modified to fit and then then fitted them.  Then they modified them and surfaced and painted all the same to hide the differences.  It's a hard process, but saves a lot of money when you can make it work.  Read the blog and then you'll get an idea if you want to put that much sweat into it or just fork over the extra money to have things custom designed.

Another option that saves some money, but not as much as used is to have custom cabinets that are not surfaced make.  You can get them wholesale and then handle the surface treatments yourself.  That will save money over ordering custom finished cabinets.[/quote]
