curio cabinet makeover

Hey Lumberjocks
Just wanted to post my latest project, a curio shelves turned enclosed cabinetry. The client wanted to make better use of the space by adding doors and enclosing the end of the original builders cabinets. I chose Birch for the cabinets as I wanted the wood to have the same feel as the original cabinets. Simply put- I added two face-frames at a 90 degree angle. I attached the two face-frames to the existing cabinetry. Once secured, I manufactured two doors and attached them with soft-close hinges. For the doors I used a very close replica of the original doors. Once that job was complete I added two false doors to align with the existing cabinet doors on the perpendicular side. I decided to not use the same width door frames for these as I thought the frame dimension would not fit well in that space. I dialed down the width to a size I thought would work. The entire set of kitchen cabinets will be painted in the near future.
Thanks for checking out the Curio Cabinet Makeover.
