Converted butlers pantry

[rnt80]

I'm almost done with this job.  The only thing missing at this point are the wood framed glass shelves, which I should have sprayed by the weekend.  Relatively speaking this is a small room for an office but from one corner to the other the floor was off by 1/2".  The ceiling wasn't any better.  Installing the crown and baseboard was...fun.
The customers settled on marble counters and I think it looks much better than granite, which IMHO is used too much.    There aren't too many Festools that I don't use on these types of projects.  All of the plywood is broken down with the ts 55.  The cases are dominoed together and pocket screwed.  I use the 1400 to cut the dado for the backs and the 1010 and the LR32 for the shelf pin holes.  The mitered doors and drawer fronts are held together with dominos, which are indispensable for alignment when it comes to that specific profile.  On install day, which was this past weekend, the kapex is a mainstay.

Yup, making everything look square and straight is an art. Yours looks great.
I am working on some cabinets now where the floor is out 5/8" over 60" and the ceiling is about the same. Brutal. Needless to say, no crown molding in that room.

I really like the looks of those doors/drawer fronts. Did you make the rails and stiles? What did you use to make the "pillow" profile?
That finish as usual looks great! It looks like an Antique white with a dark (Van Dyke) glaze.
What was the schedule/recipe?

Did you have the top delivered the same day you installed?

Nice job!! Love the finish.  Not sure about u but when I do wall to wall cabinets with lots of detail and trim on them I probably lose as much sleep as it takes to build them!! ???

Good execution.
