Country Style Cabinets With a Furniture Flair

Last crawled date: 10 months ago

We sometimes think of cabinetmaking as box building from designs that lack ostentatious styles. But we shouldn’t. There is no reason kitchen cabinets, vanities, offices or closets need to be modest or plain. Fortunately, CabWriter sits on top of SketchUp, hence all of SketchUp’s native capabilities are available to the cabinetmaker and architect. This model demonstrates how I created two country cabinets; one base and one upper. You will quickly notice several features that are not products of CabWriter: Crown molding, reverse ogee (the cyma recta S-shape) ends, counter top with back splash, base trim and drawer pulls. These features were all created with SketchUp native tools. But don’t panic! These items can be created once by the user, or downloaded from the internet, and stored in a library so they can be used over and over. No need to draw them for each use. This model was developed in a two part video post named Country Style Cabinets With a Furniture Flair – Part 1 and Part 2. Follow the link below to view Part 1.
