All cabinet doors and drawer front were hand milled, rail & stile construction from 3/4″ poplar stock. The cabinet assemblies and drawer boxes were 3/4″ or 1/2″ cabinet grade birch plywood, respectively. The shelf above the washer/dryer is 3/4″ solid walnut, with an MDF backerboard.
I started by clearing out the room and patching the drywall. The baseboard was cut away to allow for the installation. A support structure was mounted above the washer/dryer to accommodate the shelf.
The cabinets above the washer/dryer were installed first, using French cleats.
Then the rest of the cabinet boxes were installed.
The doors were painted prior to installation. The cabinet interiors and shelves were finished with Minwax satin polyurethane, also before installation. The face frames and moulding were painted after installation. I used Benjamin Moore Advance waterborne alkyd paint.
Next came the doors, hardware, and shelves. I used Blum soft close hinges and drawer slides.
The walnut shelf installation. The shelf was pre-finished with Minwax satin polyurethane.
Lastly, the PVC adhesive tile and hanger bar were installed.
