If you can dream it, we can build it. We use a wide array of wood species from all over the world, we've designed many door styles that range from ultra-minimal to old-style baroque, and have over 80 different finishes to choose from. The combinations are nearly unlimited, and if you don't see exactly what you want, we can customize something just for you.
I have seen some cabinet systems for over head cabinets that literally swing down from over the counter top to nearly rest on the counter. It makes the upper shelves usable when the “giant” in the house in 5’7″. As we get older even a step stool gets a bit nerve racking.
You do lose some space as its a box within a cabinet with swing arms on the side. It will be subject to some weight consideratinons but it would make overhead cabinets much more usuable.
I will send you information on it when I find it.
I think it depends on what type of floor you ietnnd to put down.Sheet vinyl should always go under the cabinets or it is guaranteed to curl up unless you modify the job with toe mouldings around the base of your cabinets to hold the vinyl down.Real wood flooring is about 3/4 inch thick and should go down before the cabinetry otherwise the dishwasher will not fit under the counter top. And because wood expands and contracts, you will have depending floors and expanding cabinets which will cause stress on one another if the wood floors are laid last. Also, when the wood contracts, you will gave gaps up against the toe kick unless you modify with toe moldings to conceal the cracks. Think about what it is going to look like when it is finished. It only makes sense to me to finish the floor first and then put the cabinets atop the flooring. So, you will have to protect the floors while installing the cabinetry..
