Hey guys,
Though I'd share some pictures of my new little kitchen. It took me nearly a year to complete as I was building the cabinets in my free time.
My shop is small so I had to build each cabinet one by one and then install each one as I didn't have the room to build and stage them in more of a production fashion.
The cabinets are white ash with 3/4" birch ply carcasses. As was doing this remodel on a shoestring budget, I didn't have the financial room for the fancy self-closing slides and had to use the more basic full-extension ball bearing type. I stained them first with GF's Rosewood water based stain, then a coat of GF's medium-brown die stain over that, finally topcoating with about 6 coats of Arm-R-Seal in semi-gloss.
It's a little difficult to tell with the dark finish, but I bookmatched the door panels on all the doors. Obviously they're full inset doors. The base cabinets have slide out trays, which if I had it to do over, I'd have gone with all drawers on the bottom. I still have yet to install some manner of backsplash and the window sill.
The corner drawer unit was fun to build. I saw one similar on display at Lowes and realized I had to build one!
All said and done, the new cabinets, counter tops and floor set me back about $3500. Not bad when compared to the cost of purchasing similar cabinets!
