wtnhighlander Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 How about a touch of pierced scrollwork? Make the doors *Extra Fancy* and increase ventilation at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think it's the caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Looks good to me, at least leave it for a couple months before you do anything rash. Sometimes simple is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Not to give you more to second guess yourself on...but I think my main visual complaint is the beveled drawer fronts. Not necessarily on their own, but in juxtaposition with the doors. I think you would have been better off going with Shaker frame and panel for both...and full overlay. Just my opinion.

Alan G Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Or the other direction....could go wider style and rail with a raised panel to match drawer fronts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree, and believe me, your not introducing new complaints. I never really thought about the break in continuity until I was finishing the doors. At that point, I ran to my hw dealer but they had received a new shipment of mahogany and the color was WAY different. I have never claimed to be a good designer. I think I'm a fairly decent builder and can pretty much reverse engineer how to build something I like but the artistic gene seems to have skipped me. Live and learn I suppose. I can say that isn't a mistake I'll make again. Thanks all for the critiques, criticisms, and positive comments. I welcome them all equally. Thanks for following along.

Guest Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Brendon, dude you nailed the build. Every project is a learning experience. like you said, just take what you learned and put it your back pocket for next time. And you whipped these cabinets out in like 2 weeks. You are the few, the proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally with ya man, I feel exactly the same way. I'm way better at saying what's wrong with something after it's built than designing it properly from the start. And I agree with Mike, you did a damn fine job. And ya know, if it really bothers you, you could rebuild those drawers anytime you want, and then the whole thing would be perfect. It looks good anyway man...it's just finicky elitist PITA woodworkers who critique every excruciating minutiae of every detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I think it looks good. I'd enjoy having something like that in my house. I also appreciate simple though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brendon_t Posted August 16, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I guess this is the money shot. Hardware chosen and installed. I went with classic on both pulls from the same collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Grondin Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Very nice... I like it! Those doors growing on you yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 In the right light, it's a slight maybe. I have two paid projects on deck I really need to get to. One will be a quick bar height standing table, the other being a much bigger wine cabinet base, glassware upper, countertop and hordeovery table.
