The Kitchen Doors

This past Christmas I collaborated with a friend on designing and building a set of kitchen cabinet doors. We finished them on the eve of Christmas eve and off they shipped. I’ve been waiting to see photos of our success/failure ever since.

The tall doors with the semi-transparent insets, those are the ones. They look better than even I expected. We fashioned these doors out of pine boards, cut and routered to size. The inset is plexi-glass, cut to size from large sheets used to cover light fixtures in drop ceilings.

Since we did all the work ourselves, each door was very inexpensive. If I owned a house, I’d totally play with the idea of having glass insets in my cabinet doors and filling them with some sort of mosaic or paper collage. It’d be very exciting.
