Joy had lived with her 1950's kitchen as long as she could. It was time for a change.
We created her new cabinetry using an African Mahogany in a clear, catalyzed conversion varnish finish.
The doors and larger drawer fronts were made in a frame and panel styling with recessed flat panels.
Her choice of the long bar type pulls in a pewter color really set off the wood colors. Her choice of
granite countertops completed the look. The interiors are filled with features, the summary of
which is: a very efficent kitchen in a small space. The details are shown below. |

These are the upper cabinets over the sink used for storage of dishes and glassware.
This bank of cabinets features glass doors, adjustable shelving, lights underneath for the sink
and a garage type door for easy access up high. |

Above the referigator we installed 24" deep rollout shelves (easy access to a hard to use storage area).
Next to the referigator, we installed a hinged two sided set of spice shelves. There's another set of these spice shelves
on the other side of the stove, also(not shown).Behind the spice shelves are adjustable shallow shelves. |

We installed tip out trays in front of the sink for scrub pads , small knives, etc. |

On the right: drawers in the toekicks for flat stuff (baking pans, placemats, etc.)
These open with the tap of a toe on spring-loaded catches. |
