When I was thinkin' about out kitchen one of the main things was to make it functional and inexpensive... There was an Amish furniture outlet in Harrisonburg so I checked out everything they had and built all the base cabinets out of unfinished chest of drawers the exception of two generic corner base cabinets which I bought from Lowes... I took of the tops and installed the cabinets, painted them and then put the counter top over them... Saved thousands of $$$... And they look really good...

For the pantry I built a "butler pantry" outta 3 cabinet/hutch unfinished combinations and joined them all in a line so we have 10 feet of base cabinetry and all those lovely shelves for food...

Be more than happy to take a couple pics and send 'um to you, maeve... They really were quite inexpensive...
