EP86 Kitchen Cabinets




This entire DIY kitchen project cost less than $3500 for everything including appliances. There are three videos on the HomeMade Modern YouTube channel that show how to make the kitchen cabinets, concrete countertops and open shelving. For more information go to HomeMade-Modern.com.

This is a complete DIY kitchen. We made the cabinets, shelves and the countertops ourselves. The majority of the supplies are from the Home Depot. We spent less than $3500 even with mid-range priced appliances and fixtures. I designed the open cabinets so they would be durable and easy to build. I know that open shelves are not to everyone’s taste, but I like that they encourage me to get nicer stuff. When I had closed cabinets, I would collect junky, plastic clutter that could be easily hidden behind doors and drawers. With these open shelves, I focus on getting nicer home goods that look great displayed. For the few, unsightly products and items I have, I built or recycled storage containers for them like the ammo cans I painted and dip-dyed.

SUPPLIES:

HomeMade Modern2x4s
Available at the Home Depot
I selected nice, straight, premium 2x4s from the Home Depot. Not all 2x4s are equal, so it pays to take the time to pick out the nicer ones from the pile.

HomeMade Modern3/4" Plywood
Available at the Home Depot
I used 3/4" thick plywood to make the support layer for the countertops.

HomeMade ModernScrews
Available at the Home Depot
I used 2.5” and 3” deck screws for the non-visible connections in the cabinets and 2.5” finish screws for the front faces of the cabinets.

HomeMade Modern1x6 Poplar Trim Board
Available at the Home Depot
Poplar is a great wood for trim. It's straight and takes paint well. I used some 1x6 boards for the trim.

HomeMade Modern1 1/4" Trim
Available at the Home Depot
I used 1 1/4" trim to finish the dishwasher and as a second layer of trim under the countertops.

HomeMade ModernOak Flooring
Available at the Home Depot
I used solid oak tongue and groove flooring left over from doing my floors to make the shelves for the cabinets.

HomeMade ModernPutty + Paint
Available at the Home Depot
I used wood putty to cover up some of the finish screws and painted everything with low VOC interior white latex paint. Gloss or eggshell would have been more durable, but I don’t like how it looks and it's easy enough to touch up.

STEP 1: Plane Down the 2x4s
I didn’t want the 2x4s for the front face to have rounded edges, so I planed them down using my thickness planer. This was only for aesthetic reasons and isn't necessary.

STEP 2: Cut the 2x4s
I used my compound miter saw to cut the 2x4s to length.

STEP 3: Assemble the Shelf Frames
Each cabinet consists of two frames that are assembled separately. These frames act as the first two shelves for each cabinet. I pre-drilled holes before screwing the 2x4s together and checked to make sure that the 2x4s for the vertical supports fit into spaces I created for them on the outside corners of the frames.

STEP 4: Assemble the Top Supports
I checked to make sure the pieces I cut for the top supports aligned with the frames and then screwed them together.

STEP 5: Add the Legs/Vertical Supports
I laid the legs/vertical supports on the ground and placed in the shelf frames I had already assembled. Then I screwed the legs to the frames using spacers to ensure that the distance between the shelves were consistent.

STEP 6: Screw On the Top Supports
Once the shelves were screwed to the legs, I flip the cabinet right-side up and screwed in the top supports.

STEP 7: Cut a Space for the Sink
The sink I bought is quite large, so I needed to use my jigsaw to cut a piece out of the front 2x4.

STEP 8: Reinforce Around the Sink
The concrete countertops I was making are heavy, so I reinforced the 2x4 by cutting a second one and using construction adhesive to glue and screw them together into a single beam. I also added vertical supports on the back top support to distribute the load more evenly.

STEP 9: Cut Plywood Tops
I cut pieces of plywood to use as tops for the cabinets. These tops will distribute the weight of the concrete and add strength to the cabinets. I cut the plywood with my circular saw.

STEP 10: Cut a Hole for the Sink
I marked the location of the sink and drilled holes in each corner before using my jigsaw to cut between the holes.

STEP 11: Putty + Paint
We used wood putty to cover the screw holes on the front face of the cabinets. Once the putty dried, we sanded it smooth and painted them white with two coats of low VOC interior latex paint.

STEP 12: Check Placement
I checked to make sure that the cabinets fit into their spaces and that the appliances I ordered would fit in-between them. I also painted the plywood tops before screwing them down to the cabinets.

STEP 13: Cut Shelves
I used leftover solid oak flooring to make the shelves. For the front pieces, I used my table saw to trim off the “tongue” part of the tongue and groove flooring. I used my compound miter saw to cut the oak board to length.

STEP 14: Cut Notches in the Front Shelf Boards
I wanted the front oak boards to peek out over the white 2x4s just a bit, so I cut notches in them using my jigsaw.

STEP 15: Prepare the Shelves
Once I checked to make sure that I had cut enough shelf boards, I predrilled holes and gave them a final sanding with my orbital sander. Then I used the same stain on the shelf boards that I was going to use on the floors – Rubio Monocoat in cotton white. It's a great product but a bit pricey.

STEP 16: Screw in the Shelves
Once the stain dried, I screwed in the shelf boards using finish screws. A flexible driving attachment makes this easier since the structure of the cabinets can get in the way of the drill.

STEP 17: Place the First Slab
I placed the first concrete slab onto the cabinet. It weighs about 160lbs, so Elle and I were able to move it fairly easily. Click here to find instructions for how I poured the concrete countertops.

STEP 18: Place the Second Slab
The middle piece of countertop is the largest and heaviest and has the hole for the sink and faucet in it, which makes it the most fragile. I had lots of help moving it into place. We placed it temporarily in the right position and then marked the hole for the faucet on the cabinets. Then we moved it out of the way and I drilled a hole in the cabinets for the faucet pipes to go through.

STEP 19: Seal the Sink
We peeled off the shrink-wrap that was on the sink and squeezed a bead of silicone caulk around the edge of the sink before placing the concrete over it. The weight of the concrete slab keeps it from sliding and the silicone creates a waterproof seal between the concrete and lip of the stainless steel sink.

STEP 20: Dry Fit the Faucet
I didn’t feel comfortable connecting pipes that need to be watertight because I'm not a plumber, so I just installed the faucet without connecting the pipes. Since I had to go through the 2.75” thick countertops, 3/4" of plywood and a 2x4, I had to replace the threaded rod that came with the faucet with a longer one so that I could clamp the faucet in place. Different faucets have different mounting systems so read the manufacturer's instructions and modify as needed.

STEP 21: Add Additional Supports
I wanted to give the plumber room to work, so I didn’t put in the middle shelf supports until after he installed the garbage disposal and connected the pipes. Once he was done, I was able to add additional pieces of 2x4 to support the oak boards.

STEP 22: Add Shelf Boards Around the Pipes
I cut oak boards to fit around the garbage disposal. For the lower shelf, I drilled holes and used my jigsaw to cut slots in an oak board that would go around the water pipes. Then I used my flexible driver to screw these boards in place.

STEP 23: Install Appliances
The plumber connected the drain and supply pipes to the dishwasher, so we just had to slide it into place. The range, refrigerator and hood vent were all basically plug and play. I just had to make sure that the electrician put plugs in the right places.

STEP 24: Add Trim
I ripped a piece of 1x6 poplar down to 3 7/8” wide to use as trim under the concrete counters. I cut out a notch for the dishwasher door with my jigsaw and pre-drilled holes to screw it to the front faces of the cabinets. I originally had the idea that I was going to paint the screw heads bright colors, but I changed my mind. In retrospect, finish nails would have been cleaner. I used 1 1/4" of trim to add a second layer and to trim out the sides of the dishwasher.

STEP 25: Build Fences
I didn’t want things placed on the shelves to bump into the pipes and I wanted to hide the unsightly parts of plumbing, so I build fences out of 2x4s and 1/2" plywood and painted them white. They sit in-place and create a nice backdrop for the open shelves.
