What top cabinets?

So, with a kitchen this large I wondered if we could do without top cabinets.  Its all the rage now, I understand.  

Here is a picture of the cabinets in place and with the bar still intact See Removing of the bar for that project.  

With top cabinets

We shook, yanked, and pulled on those cabinets for an hour.

One side down, now for the other

This side was a &*##@, they had to come down connected to the each other.  If you were there when I took the picture, you'd hear us calling those cabinets every horrible curse word in the book, and lots of exhausted breath catching.  

They had to come down together.


And now.....
What cabinets?

What cabinets?

Before removing these cabinets I had the brilliant idea of using them in the butlers pantry <pictures of that coming soon> but all you have to do is flip it over and build up the counter-top or build a box for them to sit on to get them to counter-top height.
By flipping them, the handles are now off the floor and nearer the counter-top, plus inside the shelves are now flipped over and look nice and new with the bowing changed.
The picture below gives you an idea of the cabinet flipped, but you are going to have to wait to see where I used them.
