Project Information

We did this kitchen a couple of years ago. This is the first project we've ever done I think that had more finish hours than it had build hours. The cabinets were all painted and then motlled with glaze. Black accent paint was then added and finally copper and silver leaf was applied, then the final top coat.

The cabinets had UV Maple interiors with poplar face frames and doors. All the drawer box's are out of hard maple and mounted with blummotion undermount slides.

The crown has inlaid and carved to shape X's in the bottom beaded area, laid out and evenly placed.

As you can see there is a lot going on in a very small area. This kitchen however doesn't used much at all I don't think. A second commercial type kitchen was installed in the basement were all the meals are prepared.

This house is listed on the National Historical Registry.

Thanks for having a look!

This kitchen has details you just don't see in the 21st century. A true story book kitchen. Most cabinet shops would have no idea where to start on a job like that. Kudos to the designer.

Les,

We are drooling! I would love to be able to check out every detail of that kitchen (open every drawer and door just to admire the craftsmanship)-and the other rooms we can see through the doorways.

Painted cabinets are generally not our taste, but those a really superb and they certainly fit the historical context of the home.

Thanks for sharing. Keep posting!
