still closer…

I’ve been able to check a few more items off the ever shortening to-do list.  First I covered the raw two by four cabinet bases with quarter inch oak plywood.  Most kitchen cabinets just use black hard board in this area but I thought it would look better to match the cabinets.  Each piece needed to be scribed to match the contours of the floor (not as flat as it appears) so it took a fair while to accomplish.  Here, take a look.

The other thing to notice in this photo is the knob on the corner cabinet.  Here’s the same cabinet with the door open.  

Another of the week’s projects was applying an oak face to the small knife drawer and making the cut-out to use a a pull.  I’m pleased by how well it came out.  Today’s project was installing the last two paneled doors in the kitchen proper.

To the left you can see part of a dark stained built in cupboard door.  As you see the built in is around the corner so it obviously can’t be considered to be “in” the kitchen.. In any case, replacing the cupboard doors with oak doors to match the kitchen is next on the agenda.
