Bathroom cabinet and a kitchen

[arso_bg]

I'm renovating an apartment for my son and this is my latest project - a bathroom cabinet
The cabinet is made of painted MDF and the worktop is made of acacia. I think it became a nice cabinet.

Very nice. I like the wood top a lot.  Here is a pic of the vanity Im working on now.  The tile was already done and not run fully under the old unit so its a non floater. It has 8 drawers total the L/R top drawers have another half height drawer behind the taller one for small cosmetics and such.  It will be all high gloss white but unfortunately the owner picked out some ugly granite top.  Nothing I can do about that.

Nice job on the cabinet . [big grin]  Did you also lay the large format tile on the floor ? If so, were there any problems or issues?

Yes it looks great. I hope the painted MDF will last in the bathroom.

All cut or milled edges are brushed with heavy coat of epoxy first. Then all sides get two coats of epoxy primer, followed by 2 coats of 2x urethane sanding primer, then 2 coats of white urethane base coat and finally 3-4 coats of urethane clear coat.  Then it all gets wet sanded to 3000 and 2 stage polish.  Its done all in automotive finish paint.  It could probably go outside

Just finished the kitchen! There are still two doors to be made but now it is 99% ready …
Here are some pictures…

I like the all drawers lowers.  Im a big believer in this especially for smaller spaces and as we get older.  Digging around in the back of a lower cabinet is not fun.  Whats in the big 2 drawer unit? Is that for pots & pans?

I have never seen drawer pulls placed in the upper "rail" portion of the fronts like that. I'm sure there is no strength issue with it, because it looks like the panel portion is routed into a solid slab, but I wonder why?

I am a lover of drawers! Drawers increase storage capacity by 30% and are easy to use. And YES, the big 2 drawer unit is intended for pots, pans, and alike.
The doors and drawer fronts are made of specially designed reinforced MDF intended for deep routing and painting (Egger). In addition to that, all drawers are installed on full extension „Tandem“ runners (Blum). They open and close so softly, so easily that you can operate them with the small finger of your hand. No force is needed at all. In this respect, it doesn't really matter where exactly you place the handles. When choosing the place for the handles my only concern was to reach them easily and how the drawers will look like.

Totally agree on drawers.  I do drawers on everything I can even the sink base.  Ill bet most people with non drawer base cabinets couldnt name half the stuff they have stuffed in the back of those things.  Once you have drawers you never go back.  It can get pricey though.  However, its money well spent.  I just wish I could find a reasonable metal box system that had "both" push to open and soft close.  Its hard to spend 100+ bucks per drawer just for hardware even for a drawer lover like me.

I have never heard of such a thing? Is that a European product? It seems like you guys are more developed in that regard. I have heard of Velcromat, but we don't have anything like that here either, as far as I know.
