With all of the projects for others complete, it's time to work on some of my own. For the past two months I have been learning Google Sketch-up and designing my wainscoting and cabinets.
The cabinets will be maple (the pics below are when I was thinking oak). I think the red oak would be visually too busy. I love the grain in red oak and the large sheets of it are beautiful but I thought there just might be too much of it. The maple will be lighter and just as nice.
Here are some details of the cabinets.
- 7 - 37" lower cabinets
- 5 - 2 drawer/2 door cabinets
- 2 - 2 door cabinets with 6 drawers behind them
- 6 cabinets side-by-side (about 18' long total) and 1 stand-alone
- 18' of upper cabinets for my library (not actually drawn yet)
