The Build - Stage 17 Cabinets

Cabinets  Part I

The first step to building cabinets is to build the box.  Lot's and lot's of measuring here (remember the adage to 'measure twice and cut once').  This was really important so that we didn't waist materials.  Each cabinets requires it's own box. 

Next, we created a face plate of trim that is nailed to the front of each box.  This trim work shows where the drawers will be installed and it frames the space.  It is important to build the cabinet boxes to fit the appliances.  Cabinets doors and drawers will be built next.  At this point we have built all of the lower cabinets.


The corner cabinet will fit an upper and lower Lazy Susan.  We wanted to make sure that it was able to fit a full circle--360 degree turn.


These center cabinets will make up the island.  


These markings show where the circular raised bar will be built.


Mother's desk cabinets.  Mom is pretty ecstatic about having more desk space!


Here is the skeleton of the circular raised bar.  It will support the granite countertop.

 
 
 

Granite/Quartz Samples.  The dark color will go on the perimeter cabinets.  The lighter color will be in the island.
