Custom Bathroom Cabinet by JMF

Today was the big pay off day. It had taken me 4-5 days a week for the last 4 weeks to build this beautiful cabinet. I was very frustrated as I was getting closer to being done with all the work I had put into this gaint cabinet. With the heat of summer it was nice to install it inside with a little AC to help keep me cool. I had a lot of firsts today as I have had through this entire project. I have built other things but none was a big or as detailed as this cabinet. It is hard to see in this picture but the cabinet is 95" tall by 22" wide by 30" deep. There are 4 doors (2 on top and 2 on bottom). There are 4 drawers that are 16" long by about 5" deep (they are the 4 top handles of the 8 horizontal handles). Then there are 2 drawers that are 28" deep that span the whole width. I was surprised how well the finished product came out. I think I will be the only one who sees the imperfections that there may be. Overall, I am very proud of how the whole thing turned out. There will be a few minor adjustments that I have to make another day but the whole bathroom is coming closer to being completed. I will keep you updated as I progress towards the final finish line in this wonderful journey of a bathroom remodel.

Once I completed building the drawers and the shell of the cabinet, I spent another 3 days custom building the drawer faces and the cabinet drawers. It is hard to see but the is a lot of fancy detail work that was needed to make all 10. There was a lot of grace from God those few days helping me make all the pieces nearly the same perfect size. I also owe my parents a huge thanks because I held their garage captive for a week while I built the drawers, their face pieces, and the doors. I also spent one hole day installing all of the drawer slides. Once I finally got the entire project home, I spent 2 days sanding everything and getting the whole thing ready for paint and the stain for the drawers themselves. All the preparation I took paid off in the end. The finish work will blow you away in the next post.

Bathroom Cabinet Orgination

There is one picture that shows a little piece of the old cabinet that wasn't really functional prior to our bathroom remodel. Then there is a picture of it once the renovation was completed by the contractors. I ripped out the old cabinet then designed a new one to go in its place. I attatched 2 copies of its shell. This took me about 3 days to design and then build with a skill saw, a router, and a couple clamps. The drawers came later and took an entire 2 days to build. Each is a custom fit to the hole it was made for. This is all just the begining.
