(31,261 posts)286. I see professional kitchens, but in a home?
The doors off the top would look bad, the main feature of kitchen cabinets are the doors. I can see locking the lower cabinets, especially if kids are around.
BTW, I was doing some reading about natural mosquito repellents and came upon several articles about peppermint. Peppermint is marginal with mosquitos (depend upon how hungry she is), but according to several articles, mice really hate it and won't go near it. Fortunately I don't have an issue with mice, but a friend that owns a professional kitchen tried peppermint for mice and love the results. Apparently, even in the cleanest professional kitchens mice can be a bear to keep out.
