Installing Kitchen Cabinets
Installing Kitchen Cabinets

The new kitchen space in the Miami condo has been opened up and brightened. Bob meets with LesCare cabinet representative Brad Brewster, of Princeton Custom Cabinetry, who explains the features of this semi-custom cabinet line. Bob has selected a standard white, contemporary style that features invisible hardware, undermount drawers, and edge-banded finishing that completely encases the fiberboard core. The cabinets look seamless, and almost completely eliminate off-gassing thanks to the edge-banded design. Brewster shows Bob the kitchen layout and the lazy Susan that spins 360 degrees to provide full access to the corner cupboard. Bob prices out the kitchen cabinetry and counters per running foot and finds it to be an affordable, elegant, easy-care solution for the getaway kitchen.

Installation of a Floating Vanity Cabinet
Installation of a Floating Vanity Cabinet

Bob Vila takes us from the shower that will also have a toilet and lavatory, through the dressing area with space reserved for a bench and cubby space, two small closets, and a sink and vanity. Brad Brewster of Princeton Custom Cabinetry joins Bob for the installation of a LesCare vanity that will be floated 12 inches above the floor, using a cross-braced configuration on the side wall, and a full cleat for support along the back. The floating installation was necessary because of the desired height of the vanity and the pipes that were detected in the walls. Brewster shows Bob the glued-dowel construction of the cabinets and the undermount hardware from Blum that will make all fasteners and cabinet hardware invisible once installed. Ernie Wernecke of Princeton Custom Cabinetry installs the vanity that has been pre-cut to accommodate plumbing, inserts drawers that were marked when removed for easy installation, and snaps on the doors of this lichen-green Formica-faced vanity.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Drawers
Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Drawers

Thomas Bump of Fine Custom Cabinetry shows Bob the Maple and hardwood panel cabinets that were built specifically for the Brownstone kitchen. The floor-to-ceiling cabinets were built in the shop, then disassembled for finishing and transported to the site for installation. The cabinets are constructed with Maple interiors and mixed hardwoods for the face frames and frame. The panel is medium-density fiberboard (MDF). The door hinges are concealed inside the cabinet and have three-way adjusting screws so that the door can be shifted up or down, right or left, in or out, to hang the door level and plumb. The cabinets have been spray painted with a lacquer finish that is tinted then catalyzed for a durable, easy-to-clean finish. Bump then shows Bob how the panels are made using puck holes predrilled on the back of the panel that are filled with adhesive so that it can sit in the frame without being pushed proud by a thick layer of adhesive. A small dab of hot glue holds the face of the panel in place. Bump then shows Bob the drawers that are solid Maple on the sides, front, and back, with a Maple veneer on the inside. They feature dovetail joinery and concealed tracks underneath that have a quick release and self-locking mechanism. These drawers are also self-closing.
