Ranch (re)Dressing

The current project in the shop is a kitchen for a 70's ranch home.

The kitchen hadn't been updated since the house was built and it was looking pretty tired so we designed replacement cabinets with the needs of the homeowner in mind. She wanted to have some big drawers, better access to the space in the corners of her U shaped kitchen, and she wanted to be able to pull up a couple of barstools to the far end of the peninsula.

The new kitchen features a full round lazy susan in one corner, and a pie-cut lazy susan in the other. the big drawers glide smoothly on their full extension guides and an unique notch in the peninsula allows for the required barstools.

The new kitchen also features our no-added-formaldehyde plywoods sliding dovetail drawer construction.

Oh, and yes, the bottom picture is upside down as was the cabinet when I took the picture.

  1. Are you related at all to the Jonathan Swift of Gulliver's Travels? Certainly the travels of this cabinetmaker you expound upon so well are also of a great literary nature, at least when it comes to wordplay. Nice job...of course, that would be your father-in-law's comments, but hey, I really enjoy reading your sawdust-outside-the-box experiences. Keep it up!
