These plans are for the Momplex kitchen for cooking Mom - with the off white cabinets and white appliances -
Fridge cabinets can make a kitchen look custom and finished. They are also great options for ending cabinetry and creating a balanced kitchen cabinetry layout.
The good news is you can build your own fridge cabinet without spending a ton of time or money. We do it all the time.
Here's one of the cabinets we've made:
Let's demystify this -
It's two pieces of cabinet-grade plywood, held together on the b
So what the heck do you do when you build a kitchen, and there just isn't enough space to add another cabinet on the other side of the dishwasher? How do you support the countertop over the dishwasher without a cabinet on either side of the dishwasher?
We actually only hung 18.
We were dreading the last two. Can you guess what two doors I'm referring too?
Yep, you guessed right!
The lazy susan we built for the corner will require two doors, hinged together with multiple different hinges.
You can buy the whole kit, or buy the hinges separately, as we did.

When it came time to install a countertop for the Momplex Vanilla kitchen, we did go have a solid surface countertop priced out.
The cost of the solid surface countertop was MORE than the entire kitchen!!! And it would take 8 weeks and we'd have to pay for a full travel day each time someone drove to the site to measure, fit and install the countertop (yes, we are to blame there for living in the sticks in Alaska).

Yep, that's what it took to take this blank space ....
And turn it into this:
Well, at least to build all those cabinets!
I'd love to know how to make a dishwasher out of plywood, but I'm going to stick to cabinets for now.
The Ram and I spent about a week building the cabinets, and honestly, the building was the easy part. Once we got all th
Yep, this blank space is going to be a kitchen after today!
We are going to do the wall cabinets first.
First, we mark the height of the bottom of the wall cabinets. Standard height is 54".
But we can't just mark 54" and pull a string line,
Apart from the huge scope of the entire project, I'd have to say building and installing easy to use drawers can seem very intimidating. Kitchen drawers get used dozens of times a day, so you want drawers that are both easy to use and will hold up over years of use.
For the Momplex white kitchen, we decided to use a drawer side/slide combo system, call Metabox drawers by Blum.
