I am custom building all the cabinets using a technique I saw in an old carpentry textbook. Instead of the modern way of putting a kitchen together as a bunch of boxes, I am building the cabinets in place.
In order to reinforce the modern style, the doors and drawer fronts will be flat panels with the grain running horizontally. Also there will be no knobs or handles; the drawers and doors pop open with a bump.
I fabricated the Corian countertop with the help of the guys at FWS (http://www.f-w-s.net/). The owner Al Kuczynski and I go way, way back. In fact I did several projects with him in the earliest days of FWS.
Still need to design and build the island. It will be in front of the range and most of the sink, pretty much covering the bottom left corner of the above photo and under those hanging pendant lights (they have very cool mod globes). I do know it will be topped with live edge cherry and probably painted grey.
The wall tile should come in this week. It is warm grey, 4"X16". That should really add a lot to the look. Then that very cool glass range hood and more live edge shelves finish off the wall. Can't wait.
