Les, this is a gorgeous kitchen. Normally I do not particularly like to see wood painted. (But I seem to remember a posted walnut project with a white paint that was an exception, however LOL).. But you make this build look so good that I could easily become a convert. You executed a nice design and layout as well. I really like the coffered ceiling as well. This is truly a kitchen that would be a compliment to any home.

Well done.

Thos said it all…......another unbelieveable project. And Thanks again Les for the excellent blog on curved doors. I am building the last of about 8 -10 curved front bath and butlers pantry cabinets for that house in Charlotte, NC. We have all but 2 installed and waiting on the granite and marble tops to be installed on them. Then I hope to get pictures of them all and post for everyone to see. Lots and lots of detail work going in on all cabinets.

A BEAUTIFUL kitchen. I’m curious about the kind of paint you used on the cabinets, and how it was applied. I’m in the process of building my kitchen cabinets. I know where to turn if I have questions. Great job.

I’ve never seen a better crafted kitchen. That warming oven is a briliant touch. The curves, color, inset doors, light rail on the bases…maybe I’ll post this kitchen on my web site and tell folks this is the type of work I want to do!

Les, another perfect job, the cabinets are stunning as usual. Did you also do the “Big” white ice box? interesting choice of color there…hummmmm. Those curved cabinets are absolutely awesome. I do have a question (don’t I always?) I watched every letter of your blog on how you made the curved cabinets, but when you order the glass, how do you do that and how do you ensure it is the right fit/curve? Another masterpiece…OH and how is that new granddaughter doing?

Les,

All of your work just blows me away. It’s really nice getting to see the completed project after learning so much about it on your blog.

I have a hard time looking at such a kitchen without being able to open up all the doors and drawers! Curiosity is killing me: What’s the small opening in the base in the corner to the left of the stove? Was this new construction or a remodel?

We were concerned that we hadn’t seen a project or blog post from you for a while, but you’ve obviously been really busy! We hope you’ve had at least a little time to spoil your granddaughter.

lightweightladyleftie this was a remodel project and the small opening has a pull-out towel rack in it. We have been a little slow lately to.
Critterman, we did the big white icebox cabinet to. The designer chose the colors.
Rick, The paint was Sherman Williams and it was all sprayed on.

Granddaughter is doing fantastic, thanks to all for asking!

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments!

This is kind of a stupid question, but what does UV Maple refer to? I assume it is maple veneered plywood but does UV refer to anything special?

This kitchen is amazing. I am making it a favorite because this is pretty much what I want my kitchen to look like. Can you provide any more information on the finish? How does the glaze process work?

Always amazed at your work. Thanks for sharing.
