A client contacted me about installing some pull out shelving and cabinet doors with blackboard panels in this cabinet where their refrigerator had been previously.

First step was to install a floor and toe kick to match the other cabinetry.

Next up was installing framework to support the shelves, and then hang the shelves themselves.

Each shelf pulls out fully and is made from solid maple and uses a housed rabbet joint at each corner with a walnut dowel detail. The dowels help to reinforce the joint while also giving it some visual interest.

After the drawers were installed, I hung and fit the doors that I had made in my shop.

A shot of the cabinet fully opened and drawers extended.

The doors are made of solid red oak to match the other cabinets in the kitchen The center panels are painted with chalkboard paint on both sides and provide plenty of space for notes, grocery lists, etc.
