Oak Cottage Kitchen
Five oak-fronted base units, a solid oak worktop and a sprayed spice rack, built along an empty wall in a beamed cottage kitchen.
Main photo styled. Photos below are as fitted.
This was a long empty wall in a low-ceilinged cottage kitchen with heavy exposed beams, leaded windows and a quarry tiled floor. The whole run is new storage where there was none.
I built five base units along it with solid oak slim beaded shaker doors and a solid oak worktop, including dedicated space for the bins. Above the worktop is an open spice rack with adjustable shelves, sprayed white with bead and butt cottage style backs and set out to clear the beam that crosses the room.
Inside, the cabinets are white melamine with oak veneer shelves and back panels, so the oak is where it shows. Nothing in a building this age is square, so every cabinet was made to fit its own gap and fitted to the walls around it.
