Arts & Crafts Kitchen Cabinet Inspiration/ Sources

Nov 21, 2003 1 Replies

Hello,



I was reading through my copy of "In The Craftsman Way" by Taunton and was very taken by the Kitchen Cabinets done by Matthew Kirby toward the end of the book. I have made several searches on Google for mission/ craftsman/ arts & crafts kitchen cabinets but have only come up with a few not so impressive results.



Are any of you familiar with Kirby's work or others who have produced such elegant cabinets? Can anyone else suggest a specific book or books with similar cabinet styles? I would love to takle a job like this some day!



Thank you very much,



Scott


Take a look at p. 117 of the book Makinson, et alia, "Greene & Greene - The Blacker House" ISBN 0-87905-949-4. the cabinet design is exquisite. Although the cabinets were originally painted, the paint was removed exposing the Port Orford cedar, a semi-opaque stain was used to hide the asorbed white undercoat. The Alaskan yellow cedar counter top is replacement to the original, the material of which I do not know.
