when it comes to furniture, i believe in simplicity. but then again, narra wood gives us lots of different grains, lots of colors and lots of complexity that making a simple cabinet is just plain impossible. take for example the cabinet that my wife designed (see photo on the right).
she said that she need a cabinet that will fit in between the gas range and another cabinet. all she want is space for her condiments, spoons and forks and some pots and pans. because of the space constraints, she want it slim and tall, with four compartments.
so she drew up four boxes, put them on top of each other, and voila! that's her cabinet. when i looked for the wood to build it, i saw a really nice piece of board and i decided to use it without any second thoughts. to give some contrast in between the cabinet doors, i chose light colored boards for the shelves and the side panels. i also used dark colored boards for the crown and the foot. and that's it.
when the cabinet was finished, i can't believe that somehing so simple can be so beautiful !!!
