Furniture piece in kitchen

11 years ago

As I've written before, I am doing an unfitted furniture-style kitchen for the beachhouse.

Here is the layout again:
{{!gwi}}

So, the issue at hand is the piece that the arrow is pointing to.

I liked the piece here, but less distressed and chippy.

I considered having something custom made and just copying the piece in the photo above. But yesterday we went to the Shaker workshops, where we decided on this table to replace the existing kitchen table (thanks again, MermanMike, who suggested it).

And then I saw this piece :

And I like it a lot. Here are the pros:
1.Relatively inexpensive; you can get it in a kit for $1200, (we are getting the table in a kit too)
2. I wanted things that are handmade,vintage or local. Something "made" by DH is even better, and he would like making it.
3. It is a copy of a piece from Sabbathday Lake, Maine, and in that sense, local, too

I would paint it (we have four big old wooden doors in the room, plus a wooden built in so we need some relief!)

I would also put some baskets under it, like these but shorter

PUTTING ASIDE FUNCTION (not because I am, but because I have already concluded it will be fine functionally), what do you think of this new Shaker option, versus looking for an antique or having a copy custom made?
