Kitchen Cabients

Cabinet Grade 3/4 PlywoodPine

Our downstairs kitchen area has tight dimensions to work with, so 'off the shelf' cabinets wouldn't work for our needs, and the cost of custom cabinets is obscene. I naively thought that it couldn't be too hard to build the cabinets, and was humbled by the process.

I did not document the process well enough, but I do have a few pictures and can probably scrounge up some more. Fully building out everything took me months, and I'm abysmal at putting my photos in meaningful albums. The result is a smattering of photos here and there interspersed between photos of my dogs and/or wife.

One of the things that still needs to be done is adding positive stops with magnets to all of the doors. Through a series of poor decisions, we decided we wanted to do inset doors. The patience and skill required to do this is something I am aspiring to get to someday. That aside, the resulting doors need something to close against (and stay closed against) that holds them nice and flush with the cabinet frame.
