Momplex Vanilla Kitchen
These plans are for the Momplex kitchen for cooking Mom - with the off white cabinets and white appliances -
Subway Tile Backsplash Install
Wood is my medium of choice. I love how easy to cut wood is, how naturally beautiful it is. I love how it smells when you work with it, I love how functional it becomes when you use it. I love that wood is renewable, and while it renews, it renews our air. I love working with wood.
But while taking on a Momplex, we've had to work with alot of other mediums. Styrofoam blocks, poured concrete, and drywall. &

Building Base Cabinets
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
Adding Crown Moulding to Wall Kitchen Cabinets - Momplex Vanilla Kitchen
I'm really excited today to share with you how we installed crown moulding on top of the wall kitchen cabinets - finishing out the seam between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling.
But before we get to that - don't forget - today's the day!

Kitchen Cabinet Drawers - Metabox Installation

For the Momplex white kitchen, we decided to use a drawer side/slide combo system, call Metabox drawers by Blum.
Hanging Kitchen Cabinet Doors with Concealed Euro Hinges - Momplex Vanilla Kitchen
And turn it into this -
Pretty crazy how just installing doors over cabinets can do that, isn't it?
The doors we ordered are measured for full overlay, and will require a Euro Style Concealed Hinge, 1-1/4" (sometimes referred to as Full Overlay), Face Frame.

DIY-ing a Laminate Countertop
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).
