We’ve got cabinets on our minds lately as we continue the remodel of our Cave Mill house. We’re trying to decide between having our back foyer cabinets built by cabinet makers or having Tom go ahead and do it. You know, since he has so much spare time (haha). It made me pull these photos back out of a past project where we designed a cabinet for a client’s mudroom. I needed to review all the details.

Organization and maximizing the space was key with this project. The client’s family uses this entrance every day (several times a day!) and they have 5 children. So, naturally there are many “kid things” to wrangle in this area—shoes, backpacks, sports equipment, lunch boxes, more shoes, technology, books, toys and more.

The white oak was just oh-so-good and I really wanted to highlight the beauty of the wood.

It was fascinating to go from design in my head to design on paper to seeing it come to life in the cabinet maker’s workshop and then finally as an installed piece in my client’s home.

The install went smoothly and we realized that this was a great call for this space. It serves the family well and inspired me to dream up plans for our own back foyer cabinets.

Just look at all of that space to keep all the kids things organized!

I adore that natural finish on white oak. It lets the beauty of the white oak come through and lends to a bright and airy aesthetic in what would normally be a busy and chaotic space in the house. So glad we got to help the homeowner come up with this solution and I’m really looking forward to our own cabinets being installed!
