Kitchen Cabinets
I am building cabinets from Ash. I have combined a lot of woods in the kitchen. The trim is cypress and the floor is oak. The wall behind the kitchen sink is Red Pine that came from a house in the Irish Channel in New Orleans. I do the work when I can so it is taking a long time.
We took out part of wall right after buying the house to combine the two kitchens into one. The old chimney was re-used for wood stove, but I boxed in one side so we can install cabinet unit. The other side needed new sheetrock and mud.
The first cabinet to go in was the dishwasher unit. I paid $15 for dishwasher ten years ago and I'm hoping it'll last another ten. The counter top is Corian, but it is only 1/4" thick. It came from a bathroom wall. I glued it on particle board and trimmed with ash.
The Dish Cabinet is styled after a New Orleans Kitchen Cabinet that is hung on another wall. The glass is New German Antique and has a slight ripple in it.
The next cabinet I'm building is "faux" Hoosier Cabinet. But before that came the floor...
