Quick kitchen picture

Looks awesome, but one question.

When you take your MDF down to be finished, what have you done to it already?

Obviously it's cut to size, but what about edges etc? What sort of cost is it ballpark. I have some gloss wardrobes to make in considering this option.

Keep up the posts and pics, great to see.

Ok, it's cut to size, microbevel routed on the edges, sanded. Paint for the kitchen was about 2-3K I think from memory. The money is in the prep work on the edges rather than the face. The smaller the microbevel the more expensive to paint as paint tends to run away from the corners. It is expensive but it looks amazing, you can't see any texture in the paint and on dark colours it looks deeper than the thickness of the board. Pm me if you want to phone for a chat.

thats seriously nice. Theres something about it that makes it look like a bespoke kitchen too. I really like the effect the downlights have on the tall units. Was it luck to have one next to each door or was it planned?

 

[Oryxdesign]

I did the whole project which included the roof work (electric tilting), the ceiling and all the structural modifications so it wasn't luck. I was lucky to have worked with a really good designer.

Simon,
Any chance of a photo with the doors or drawers open?

The workmanship looks fantastic by the way!

Ok I've been back to the property to do some other works and I took a couple of interior shots, here they are..

That's a fantastic kitchen.

That's a fantastic kitchen.

Thankyou.

I agree, simply stunning. I just made the mistake of showing the missus..... and now i'm explaining how many new tools i'd need to build it...

What hardware have you used to get the sliding internal drawer?

 

[Oryxdesign]

Ahh... I wondered if someone would notice that. They are just normal bearing runners from Hafele. The main drawer runners are soft close. I just put a rubber stop on the back of the top insert so you can shut the main drawer without having to pull the insert forwards. You have to be careful about the load capacities of the runners as that single drawer unit weighs 25Kg's with it's contents.
By the way any news on your back WiZeR?

It's very clever, I was planning a lower tech version for my workbench drawers.

 

[Oryxdesign]

Yeah, I've been thinking about sliding trays on top of the top drawers to use for tools in use and to keep dust and shavings out of the top drawers. Whilst not loosing too much storage. Those runners are dead cheapies by the way.

I love the idea of the internal drawer - dead simple but incredibly useful.

I'm going to have to have a play with that.

Expect to see something similar on my next kitchen project!

Cheers

Now there's something to aspire to . . .

I would never go for that kind of kitchen but I have to agree the finish is amazing.

We could never have that because I would purposely leave all the doors and drawers open to get that impact all the time (And show off the walnut)

Really really beautiful kitchen. The ABW is particularly opulent!

My father in law has used his cellulose from his classics on MDF. Just followed the same technique as on a car, the high build filler seemed to fill edges well.
