Star the wonderful lady at our Ikea helped us pick the right cupboards to get what we needed and my amazing husband went to work changing the electrical, painting and installing cabinets and counters...this is the finished product:
We ran into one hiccup, the four drawer cabinet doesn't come in bead board, which we didn't like. Ikea suggested we try a cupboard door over the drawers with a special hinge. Well that didn't work either - drawers can't slide out with a hinge in the way - so my clever husband just attached the door straight onto the bottom drawer and voila:
This is the corner cabinet with lazy susan!
Now to filling it up and decorating - I'm trying to decide between these two pallets:

I'm planning on doing the same thing! Headed to ikea this weekend. I see you installed your cabinets right over the carpet...
What did you do for the feet? I don't want to have the top sit too high. Did you have to use a higher chair? I'd love to pick your brain over this... Mindy

My cabinets are in, and the counter top is on!

Thanks for the inspiration and advice!
I too am curious what you used for feet?
We actually took the feet off. There are pegish things on the cupboards that hold it up, with the carpet it's completely steady and high enough to open etc.
That sounds perfect. If you don't mind me asking where did you purchase them? Thank you for your help.
We bought them at Ikea.
