Kitchen Cabinets

Two views of a kitchen reno i did in River Heights, a complete gut of a
1950's bungalow and built the cabinets out of 3/4" Maple.  I first strapped out the walls to 2 x 6" to give the client greater insulation R value, new window, bulkhead, new wiring and plumbing (with undermount sink) along with a raised dishwasher so that a person doesn't have to bend over quite so far and access or put dishes away.   The counters are silestone (non staining, durable, heat resistant and non-pourous).   



All the drawers are pull out so items can easily be stored and removed.  Hinges are all Blum.
I incorporated the design with the existing glass blocks that were in place which was a lovely feature.

Handles are stainless from Lee Valley and i incorporated a dishwasher that the client loved as she never had one before.
