When we built the house, we made a place especially for a large dresser in a walkway to the den and in front of the closet. During the bedroom remodel, LOML declared the dresser must go, and directed me to make a 'built in'. So here are fuzzy pics of the dresser, sans top. I wanted to get it in place so I could make sure the top fit in the corner. Essentially three plywood base cabinets with drawers, and baseboard around it like the rest of the room. Had I known what a pain it would be, I woulda just built a 'real' dresser. But she's happy. Knobs are different on top drawers because I drilled those 4" on center before I realized the pulls she wanted were 3". :mad:

Above this, I put two cabeinets with shelves in between. I intended to put a mirror below the shelves, but I've been told no...I need to make another shelf. I used the pine beadboard on the exposed sides to tie in to the beadboard ceiling. And for anybody putting up any crown molding anytime soon, I HIGHLY recommend those block thingies that eliminate miter cuts. :)

Just wanted folks to know I wasn't goofing off.... :D

Kirk, great cabinets, molding looks great!, shelves inbetween is a nice touch that I will file. I'm new to this or any forum; what does LOML mean? Once again, great job, beautiful cabinets.

Nice job Kirk. I like the arched cabinet doors, and I'm betting they look better in person than the pics would indicate.

Don, LOML is "love of my life", not to be confused with SWMBO (she who must be obeyed). DAMHIKT (don't ask me how I know that)! More SMC acronyms can be found in this thread:
