Kitchen Cabinet Projects

Perry has designed and built several kitchen cabinet projects over the years.  The fun part is actually the design and cost estimate phase. Using AutoCAD for the design and a custom cost sheet, his estimates have been very accurate.  The design is the challenging and rewarding phase.

2017 - Kim and Jeff - my daughter and son-in-laws kitchen design and build

I'm is in the middle of a kitchen project for Kim and Jeff.  We are targeting mid-March to complete this project.  There are eight base cabinets and eight wall cabinets to build and install.  Kim and Jeff are involved with major work removing non-bearing walls, moving and installing new plumbing and electrical, redoing sheet rock and taping ceiling and walls, and new flooring along the finishing touch of new granite counter tops.

October 2017 - The cabinet project is installed and Jeff has finished the tile work.  The flooring is the last phase for the project to be complete.

The kitchen island was the first cabinet Perry built for the kitchen project.

2013 - Sid and Joyce kitchen design and rebuild at the cabin

Perry designed a kitchen rebuild for Sid and Joyce in Centerville.  Sid and Joyce did a nice job in building the cabinets from Perry's design.

This is a link to Perry's ActoCAD drawing  of the kitchen plan.

2012 - Kris and Chuck's kitchen design and rebuild at their cabin

Perry designed and built the kitchen cabinets for Kris and Chuck's cabin in Placerville.  With Chuck's help we installed the cabinets in the fall of 2012.

2009 - Boise home kitchen design and rebuild

Right after I retired from Idaho Power Company, we remodeled the home in Boise. The redesign of the kitchen was a major part of the remodel. I took out a wall, extended the bar space to the living room, and removed the door to the laundry area and move the entrance to that space with all new appliances.

2007 - Placerville cabin kitchen - new construction

Perry finished the cabin kitchen cabinets in June of 2007.  They are custom designed and the framing and door material is solid knotty alder.  The cabinet carcass was built with 3/4" two-sided white melamine.   Recessed adjustable shelf brackets holds T-molded melamine for shelving.  The cabinet doors are solid 3/4" x 2 1/2" frames with 1/4" solid alder inserts and hidden euphoria hinges.  The doors are accented by small horse-shoe nails face corner pins.  The handles and knobs are hammered antique iron.

1980's  - Pocatello Kitchen Rebuild Projects

While living in Pocatello in the 70' and 80's, I rebuilt the kitchen in both homes I once owned.

The home on Meadowbrook in Pocatello, I remolded more than just the kitchen.  The original home was 1200 square feet before I used a bob-cat and dug under the house to create a basement.  I added another 1200 square feet to include a 16' x 24' extension off the kitchen for a family room.  Down stairs under the new addition, I added a wood burning fire place that heated the house in the winter by pulling heat from the fire place through the furnaces vent system.
