Butler's pantry

It’s too bad the room was to small to fit the whole thing in one pic.

Cabinet was solid poplar, 8’ high x 8’ wide.

My wife would kill for a butler’s pantry (therefor she won’t see this project) ;)
Storage is kind of like tools and clamps…

I really like the hardware, fit’s the design very nicely.

Beautiful! Is it used for clothing? Mary’s been buggin me to build an Amoire(sp?) to increase our clothing storage. Could you post a photo of the interior? I’m interested to see what you did inside…

Nice cabinetry work. The finish looks sprayed on, is it?

This is a very nice design. How about some pictures with it opened?

This cabinet stores everything from pots & pans to scarves & mitts. Each of the drawers has 150 lb. capacity Euro-tracks, so I guess that theoretically it could sleep 6…

The finish was initially sprayed- 3 coats.

After installation the client’s wife wanted it glossier. Then, just a bit glossier than that. So the last 2 coats were brushed.

I have pic’s of the inside somewhere, I’ll post them as soon as I track them down. Either that, or I’ll post the design.

Nice job. Good-looking unit your doors and drawers look real good. Inset doors and drawers can be touchy there’s not much room to cheat if they don’t line up right.

The work you did is outstanding and I like the design as well, it looks like a very usable space and the workmanship is excellent!

I was wondering how deep made these cabinets? I am looking at building something similar in our kitchen, and wan to gain some space back from the existing 24” deep base cabinets since the room is small. I have been toying around with designs from 12”deep to 18” inches deep. Any suggestions? Would you be willing to share your design?

That particular unit is 28” deep. It was built to replace an existing closet. I have the design scanned somewhere, I’ll PM it to you as soon as the dust settles with my office re-location to the attic. Just need to find that CD….
