Attached are a few photo of my latest completed kitchen. I built these for my sister and brother-in-law's lakehouse, they've been completed for a while but had to go through a nightmare with HD on their counter top. On the initial install at a seam the grain pattern was a complet mismatch plus they put in the wrong sink, took about 3 months to get them to agree to completly replace the top (they didn't know how stubborn my sister was :D:D!!)

Cabinets are white oak with full inset doors/drawers. The pantry and all lower cabinets have rollout shelving.

Any and all comments welcome.............thanks for looking.

David, that's beautiful. How long did it take to complete?

I completely redid my kitchen just before I left in October. Took just about two months to complete everything. Unfortunately that pics are on the camera back in Boston. I'll post when I get back home.

Again, it turned out wonderful - Congratulations!

Be well,

Doc

Doc,
The build took about 10 weeks plus a couple of weeks to finish everything and another 3 days to install.

Thanks

Beautiful job, David. Mine need done but I try to keep pumping things up-stairs from down-stairs in the shop hoping she won't mention it at the moment. I don't dare pause for one moment.

Well done...

Dave,
It came out nicely. Sorry to hear about the BORG dealings. At least it was a happy ending.

Nice job David!
I installed a kitchen full of cabinets my folks bought from the big orange Borg, which was painless... but the countertop was much the same story as yours. 3 attempts and 6 months of having a couple pieces of plywood for a counter top wore thin on Mom n Dad.

Might be a stupid question, but how did you build the end panel on the right side of the fridge (and how is mounted to that upper cabinet?)

thx in advance

Beautiful kitchen David. I need to save off your pictures and send them to my mom for ideas.

David, I think the wood you used was a little too green, it still has all the leaves on it!! LOL
Really nice job, clean looking lines and a great overall layout. I feel you pain with HD and their cabinet department or lack thereof. Glad it all worked out!!

OK, stupid question. I know the glass is the same thickness, but any tricks with stained/leaded glass, due to the thickness of the lead surrounding it? Thanks and looks good.

That is absolutely georgous. I wish I had the time and patience to do that with our Kitchen.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Pretty quick too I'd say. Obviously you've done this before.:D

Question though. Are those small drawers on either side of the sink base or are they simply false fronts?
