Project Information
This is a new kitchen I built for our retirement house. The color is cream and espresso. The door and drawer frames are in maple and the center panels in MDF with the exception of the 55" pantry doors. They were built entirely with MDF to protect against warping. After the finish is applied it's impossible to tell the difference between maple and MDF. I felt a bit guilty painting maple, but I dislike MDF dust; it was worth the price. The uppers are 36" high. There are a total of 20 drawers. Most of the small drawers are built with metal sides and 5\8" melamine particle board bottoms. All of the hardware is from Lee Valley Tools. The finish is water-based lacquer. The large drawers fully extend for easy access. The large lazy suzan in the corner cabinet makes use of this space well.
