Mom's Kitchen Project

The new kitchen

Starting on it

The old kitchen(before picture) I forgot to take the picture before I tore down the old uppers

Tearing off the false ceiling to make more room in the kitchen

I did this kitchen for my mom with knotty cherry wood species and Custom Cabinets by Brent let me help him on the project. Took about 3-4 weeks to make the cabinets and a week to redo the ceiling plus electrical, painting, and plumbing. Then a day to install the cabinets with help of Brent and I did the resilent floor the next day. Then Brent did the counter top in a day. My mom and dad are really happy with their new kitchen and are enjoying it a lot. It's a lot nicer kitchen and looks really different I thought.

Built-in desk and two nightstands for a lovely cabin

I made this built-in desk(for a computer) and these two nightstands for the upstairs of a restored cabin outside of Spring City. It took a lot of work and I learned a lot, they are spoke shaved, distressed, but not glazed so that saved a lot of time. I also took some pictures of the cabin because I absolutely fell in love with the place. We did the furniture and kitchen cabinets in this home. This cabin is cozy, cute, and inviting.

I just sanded, painted, and glazed this cupboard while my co-worker built it.

The guys made this hutch before I started working there.

This was Aaron's first job when he started this business during the first of the year, this kitchen in the same cabin.

The projects before glazing

These are actually the first projects I did without any help in this shop since I started working there. The boss just gave me the plans and I built them. Took me like 2 and a half weeks to build and a week to paint and glaze. They look pretty and I should feel proud of myself. The lady should come down to her house on Wednesday and see how she likes them. I'm crossing my fingers, well the husband saw them and said he liked them so that's a good sign. The reason why it took me a week to paint because I carefully painted the moldings with different colors with different colors stroking inside the lines, green and brown. This is called sheer art. Everything is pretty strong too because the doors and face frames were put together by tenon and mortise joints which took me a while to make but it's worth it! Everything is all spoke shaved and distressed to make them look old. Today I started on more projects for a lady in Spring City also, a built-in desk in a corner and two night stands. They are going to be in a restored cabin out in a farm where she lives. It's exciting! I did do two shelf cabinet things for her laundry room a few months back, also my boss did her kitchen and china hutch before I started working there. I like recent customers! The Campbell's are recent customers too, we did their kitchen and laundry room. The kitchen is in the 1st picture in the last post in this blog.

Hutch and cabinet...

These are the projects I am currently working on and this is how far I got after two weeks. I am making some kind of hutch and a cabinet for somebody's house in Spring City. The projects will be painted with a glaze on them. They are distressed, to look old(hitting the furniture with rocks and a crescent wrench). I am currently doing these without supervision, well...maybe a little bit of supervision but for sure I am doing all the work myself, making the doors and everything. I am using all the skills my bosses taught me in the last 5 months since working there. Well, doing something all by myself sure makes it funner, instead of helping out. It makes my mind more focused on the project more instead of asking the boss "what should I do next". I have more projects to do after these. It's been fun.

Most of the projects I did...
