Cabinets

This cabinet sits between the studs in the wall and sits flush against the wall.

The image to the right was printed on transparent material and then placed between a mirror and plexy glass.

Since many areas in the image are white, they did not print onto the film and appear as clear. This allowed the mirror which sits behind the film to show through and be reflective.

The interior of the cabinet is lined with cedar. The shelves are also cedar, which gives an aromatic scent to the room.

 


Bathroom Cabinet - Small

This small cabinet is 14" wide x 27" tall. The open lower shelf provides easy access. The back of the box and shelving are made from cedar which provides an aromatic scent.

The door has been made with several exotic varieties including Bubinga, Purple Heart, Wenge, Lacewood and Bird's Eye Maple.

A black and white image of an Aspen tree is framed by all of these woods sections.

Old Fashion Jelly Cupboard

Designed after an old-fashioned jelly cupboard used in the kitchen to hold jams or pies. They were short, only around 5 feet tall. This cupboard is made out of poplar wood and 7 feet tall. Antique hinges and latches are used for the hardware. The entire piece was put together with biscuits.

The construction process


Kitchen Cabinet


Original Design


Finished Design

The kitchen cabinet was a refacing project. Using the original cabinet boxes, the original facing was replaced with hand-made, solid oak, craftsmen-styled cabinet doors and frame. The finished cabinets extend to the ceiling which add height to the room. A light is positioned behind the top door, allowing the transparent image to be seen when the light is turned on. This image can be removed for a seasonal change. Lights were also installed under the cabinet for counter lighting.
