Kaiminani Drive Project

I have been updating this blog three days in a row. There is a large backlog of projects to share here.
This project was for a full time resident that lives on Kaiminani Drive near the airport.
They chose to utilize Kraftmaid cabinets purchased at The Home Depot.

The client also desired to have a solid surface counter top.This product is Corian. There are several different brands to choose from and both Home Depot and Lowes offer a variety of colors and brands.

When a solid surface material such as this is used we do not need to use a plywood sub top for support. The manufacturer of the material requires that there be breathability in the installation for the warranty to be valid.

I will need to know ahead of time what type of material is to be used for the counter top so that we cam plan accordingly.

Part of the design was to utilize some efficient storage features that are available when you

are deciding styles, finish and features.

On this project the client chose a lazy susan for the corner base cabinet and a pull out shelf for the lower part of the pantry cabinet.

There are many other possibilities available as well.

each of the manufacturers have a catalog that describes these options and there are also displays at the retailers available for you to see first hand how they look and feel.

You can see that one of the cabinets has real leaded stained glass
doors. this is another option that is available from most manufacturers.

I have also modified existing cabinets that are stile and panel, where i carefully removed that panel and install glass of your choosing. It can be clear or decorative glass. This is an easy way to add some special accents to your design.

I have taken pride in finding creative and efficient ways to accomplish your design and use goals



This job also had a bar top wall behind the stove and we cut that wall down and created a large dining area at the same level as the rest of the cabinets.

Most of the projects I do will end up making this simple change for a more usable and modern feel.
