We just finished building our buffet. Just in time for Christmas, which was my goal. It has been our tradition for many years to have dinner at our house on Christmas Day. This year will be a lot of fun.
What started out as a faucet leak has mushroomed into a compete kitchen remodel.
But first, I convinced my wife that before I tore up the kitchen, and got myself into a bind, I wanted to build a buffet so I could test my skills and acquire the tools needed to build the cabinets for our kitchen.
This is the result. I used prefinished birch plywood for the carcases, and poplar for everything else (face frames, doors, drawers, drawer fronts). A friend applied a faux finish to the cabinets. It turned out exactly like the sample my wife had picked out. A Silstone quartz counter top completes the cabinets.
I installed full extension, side mount soft close drawer slides and Blum soft close door hinges. No more noise makers. A pull out tray holds the three crock buffet server. Just pull out the tray and set the server on the counter. Easy peasy.
For the wall, we installed Brickweb thin brick applied with mastic. We grouted the brick, caulked and did a little touch up painting.
This is a done deal.
We are two happy campers.
There are a lot more pics in my album.
Hope you like them.
Thanks
Mike
