About to go to the finishers...

We got our panels and doors all in for the Vandersteen's the other week. Typically on a standard 'European Design' project means that right away it's just about ready to be finished. But on a 'Faceframe Inset' job that means our work has just begun.
The main feature on a faceframe inset job is that the doors are flush or inset into a frame. This means to have it turn out looking sharp and done correctly, the doors need to have the same reveal or space around the doors. With the hinges that were chosen, we needed to have a 1/16" reveal around the doors. So we made spacers and after the doors got in we took all the doors and sized them specifically to the frame that they go to. All the raised end panels like on the island and hood are cut to look like they're also inset into a frame as well.
We're all excited to get this back from the finishers to see the final project. It should definately turn out!!

Sizing up the corner of the Cabinet with doors

1/16" Reveal around all edges

Full cabinet sized up (this is a cabinet with glass at the top 1/3 of cabinet)

Island with posts and Panels inset into faceframes

Wood Hood (This is one of my favorite hoods that I've designed. It's only 2" shy of 5 feet wide)

Nicholes job

these are the renderings for the nicholes job, we are doing a face frame inset that will be painted white with a gray glaze. on the refer panels we are going to be putting mirror behind the mullions, should look great!

they are putting a copper farm style sink and slightly bumping out the cab, it will be great and a big change for them.

Vandersteen Cabinet Box and Frame Construction

Here's an update with some of the box and frame construction for the Vandersteen's kitchen. The majority of the Inset Face Frames have been built, except for the ones that need the raised end panels so that they can be built together. Those end panels and doors should be here within a week and then everything will be off to be finished. It's great to see all the progress and we're excited on our end to see the it all together.
