How can I add cabinets to existing kitchen cabinets?
Buying house and trying to get some ideas for kitchen.1) Fairly new dark wood kitchen cabinets. (Manufacturer unknown) are arranged high and low to ceiling in “L” shape design with granite countertop. The cabinets (longest side) ends at a window and the windowsill is lower than counter. Currently, there is a desk that attaches to cabinet which has same granite for desktop. Granite desktop runs along 32” windowsill. Desk has no drawers only empty space for chair. After desk there is an empty corner approximately 36” wide.Can a pantry closet and possibly bench under window with a corner pantry closet be added to end the cabinets. 2) Existing island has open shelves and wine rack with matching granite top. To gain extra storage does one build a matching island to stand alongside existing island using granite from desk as top or a new island all together. If new, can it be different colored wood. Any suggestions and where would one go to hv this done without purchasing all new cabinets.Any ideas appreciated.

The most seamless way to add cabinets would likely be to paint them. Second would be to have new doors made to match the new cabinets you have.
Could you share photos here? That would help with more ideas! :)
Hello. I would suggest removing a cabinent door from the hinges and bring it to your local home improvement center or cabinet shop and see what they say about adding to your existing inventory.
They also have designers there that could help you with a plan to add to your existing kitchen. A busy times sometimes appointments might be necessary.

You could check out your local Habitat ReStore or similar to see if they have any cabinets that you can use to fill in with then have matching doors made. You'd likely have to paint all the cabinets to make it seamless.
