Kitchen Remodel with Fir Cabinets


This was a fun kitchen remodel for my neighbors up the hill. They decided to update their kitchen using traditional fir cabinets and Shaker-style doors, and gave it a modern twist with a frosted glass backsplash, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.












Here is a view of the built-in appliances on the north side of the kitchen.



















And this is a view to the South.









The frosted glass tile plays with the available light and has a 3-dimensional quality. I installed Schluter Kerdi waterproofing behind the tile.













Here's a close-up of the drawer fronts.













And finally, a closer view of the cook top and refrigerator.



The rough-sawn Fir for the stiles and rails was purchased from Easy Creek Lumber in Lorane and the Fir plywood was from Tree Products in Springfield.
