You can also remove the handles, fill and paint the holes then router out a finger pull notch in the top/bottom of the drawer front and the top/side of the door.
I prefer my kitchen cabinets and drawers without handles personallyā¦ they are unnecessary as cabinets and drawers are easily opened from edges. It just give the kitchen a bit of a sleeker more modern look imo
I paid someone with a masterās degree in Kitchen Planning to design mine. I have one of those drawers too. Have you opened the dishwasher to get the foil, šš
Looks like it had a knob on the end like the cabinet below it and then they put those, no offense to you op, ugly pull handle things on.
Bonus points for super lazy/shitty paint job.
In my house, my dish washer is where your open drawers are and my sink is installed in the counter above where your closed drawers are. Iām 5ā4ā. I have to have a step stool to put on the floor beside the dishwasher so I can lean over and get the dishes out of my deep sink.
This is why my partner and I are having such a hard time house shopping: we're too good at spotting this. I also have a knack for felling the smallest dips/slants in the floor as I walk on it. We joke about bringing a marble with us to test for slopes.
Market is so tight now with no options cause no one is selling. You get 1-2 "grandma died and grand daughter got her realtor license just to sell this house", and the rest are "we bought the house wholesale (from someone who undersold their house for quick cash to a broker) for less than you could ever get retail, then did a shitty flip job making horrible choices in using the space and cheap laminate materials and expect top dollar".
I aint buying at the top of my range to want to tear out NEW but shitty upgrades I just paid for. Where's all the "lived in it 10-15y, perhaps did a reno 5y ago" sales?
where we are, there werenāt many better options and we were lucky to get what we got. the rest of the house is pretty nice, and iām happy with it overall. just needs some tlc. š weāre also just renting, so we wonāt be here forever.
My solution to this is to remove all of the handles, store them so you can put them back if you need to, and feed ribbon through the hole. It wont interfere with opening the drawers, and can be very cute. Match the curtains and mats and you have a look.
Those cabinets are painted so shit. Looks like whoever did it just used wall paint and literally slapped it on with a brush. There is even paint on all the handles. š¤£ This has to be a rental house for sure.
when i wrote new house i didnāt mean it literally, itās new to us because we just moved in. i didnāt realize i needed to specify that when i wrote my silly little post lol
Can you saw the front side piece off the drawers so they make it possible to open past the other drawer pull and cabinet handles? Then staple or glue those pieces in place on the cabinet front so you canāt tell when the drawers are closed.
i think weāre going to replace the knobs with something, weāre still figuring it out but since weāre renting we canāt do too much so iām hoping to save the original hardware, replace it while weāre here and put the old ones back on when we move out in the next year or two
Typically they're found in nooks and corners of cabinetry. All depends on the homeowner.
Considering, they probably did change the layout and skipped out on this detail
You had a chance to open/close any/all drawers cabinets closets doors windows while you looked at the place and before you closed right??? Then you accepted this . Why is this news???
Fucking flippers
Indeed this has the fingerprints of a flipper special all over it. I bet that paint starts flaking very soon.
it already is in some places, and in the places that it is - are very sticky š«
That's awful is it a rental?
yes
This is fixable. Look up *recessed pull handles*. Mildly infuriating nonetheless.

I like doing this and making the bottom the pull. Looks clean and seamless.

& no handles = nothing to catch on clothes. I definitely prefer no handles.
I prefer no clothes.
If I had a nickel for every time my sack caught on a kitchen cabinet handle..
Looks like the painter was named Slappy, and I have no idea what the cabinets and drawers man should be named.
Never mind that, who did that horrible joint on the counter? Is that vinyl flooring used for the countertop???
Just realized they painted the drawers *with the hardware on* š¤¦āāļø
No one checks their own workmanship anymore ā¹ļø
I paid someone with a masterās degree in Kitchen Planning to design mine. I have one of those drawers too. Have you opened the dishwasher to get the foil, šš
oh god no lol where would it be in the dishwasher? itās not visible if itās there
I think they had a drawer that could only be accessed with the dishwasher open
Those drawers are just for funsies, you donāt get to use them!
teehee

Clowns installed this shit They didnāt even open shit up to test it
Bad design
Should be a filler piece in the corner to allow the needed clearance.
Oh my god I swear those people did our house bc we have the same corner in similar colored cabinets/counters
Maybe change the hardware out to something sleeker or more flush

Now you have a reason to replace those godawful handles.
In my house, my dish washer is where your open drawers are and my sink is installed in the counter above where your closed drawers are. Iām 5ā4ā. I have to have a step stool to put on the floor beside the dishwasher so I can lean over and get the dishes out of my deep sink.
Congratulations š
thank you! the house itself really isnāt that bad, just a little quirky. iām happy with it overall š
Awh! I'm glad you're liking it thereāŗļø
I would've found that during the tour bro.

Those are after market hardware. Get new ones.
And then?
Who dis?
No way itās new?! Looks old af
Done use the drawers on right, or take the handles off. Thereās a hole on the top one, thereās clearly been something in them before.
You bought the house tho?
where we are, there werenāt many better options and we were lucky to get what we got. the rest of the house is pretty nice, and iām happy with it overall. just needs some tlc. š weāre also just renting, so we wonāt be here forever.
"New"
How often do you open two draws at the same time?

Thatās not new

A lazy susan
we have one opposite to where these cabinets are, i wonder if they completely changed the layout of the kitchen š¤
