I am brand new here this being my first post and am interested on what I can learn and or teach here. After building individual cabinets and bathroom vanity's for clients I took on the task of the design, construction, and installation of kitchen cabinets. Now I also nailed down the new wood flooring and did the tile work but this is a woodworking forum. I wanted different dimension so I made some in larger depths. The glass was a glue chip style in the doors.
I found a lady in California that would take a Tuscany photo and turn it into six inch ceramic tiles for behind the stove. Then used some bathroom tile edge trim to frame it. The rest of the back splash was 4 inch Venetian tiles with some medallions I found.
There was no pantry so I included one with a cabinet and two large drawers. Next to that I created a medicine cabinet and built in microwave shelf to pull it off the counter.
I wanted the door panels to recess back but could not find a local supplier with the molding I wanted. I rabbited a narrow chair rail type molding with my table router; that was not an easy task. Turn out nice though, I also used edge molding to create the panel look on the end panels.
For the island I bought a copper sink online and added some end units by turning hand rail posts upside down and adding a shelf and drawer.
I primed the cabinets with Kilz then used a latex base coat followed by an solvent based gel stain for an antiqued look, then finished with a water base clear topcoat. Thank you
