Well that's a wrap...kitchen remodel finally done

[SwampNut]

I really need to buy/make some of those pot and pan drawers.  Even with the space-saver pan/lid system we have now, it's annoying to try to deal with them inside a cabinet.  And I'm lazy enough to just use the wrong pan because it's on top.

They're great and my main motivation for adding them was to not have to bend down and rummage through the cabinets. My primary objective for this kitchen was to eliminate any blind corner cabinets, improve the lighting and make every drawer and door so my wife couldn't slam them shut. 

 

You could easily make them with your woodworking skills. I used 1/2" Baltic Birch plywood and 23" decent quality ball bearing drawer slides. You just have to be aware of the door clearance.

Thanks but really only used the planer to help make the top trim over the cabinets. Re-sawed 3/4 pine in half on the band saw and then planed down to 1/4". Cut into strips and then routed the bevel and glued it up for the crown effect. 32 feet of molding cost me $20 in 3.5" x 8' x 3/4" clear pine.

 

Cabinet doors are 3/4 solid birch rails with 1/4 birch plywood panels and cabinet boxes are all 3/4 Baltic birch plywood. Cabinet face frames are all 3/4 poplar. All the solid lumber was already SFS (Surfaced Four Sides). Thinking I saved about $3-4 grand making the cabinets myself rather than custom or semi-custom of the same quality. Soft close hinges and drawer slides and also made slide out shelves for all the base cabinets.

Beautiful.

 

...good thing my wife doesn't come look at these threads...

That kind of happened to my son, his wife was looking at something and he had to have his whole kitchen changed over like this thread but he didn't make his.
