CABINET

Inspired by the original sensibilities of the 1926 home, this built-in cabinet with eight pass-through drawers was crafted by hand using historic bridle frame corner joinery, dove tailed shelves, tongue and grove panel boards, and dado tongue and rabbet  jointed drawers. cabinet.2008

Each drawer was given a library card label and finger pull, plus there is a pull-out shelf, and a chalk board to leave notes for the family when they first arrive home / head off to the grocery store.  The top drawer has a series of letter press divisions to allow all of those little things around the home to find their comfy spot.
