A few weeks ago I was finally got caught up enough to start building
a country style pantry for our new home. I wanted to match the color of
the kitchen cabinets, espresso, and add in a natural white oak color.

The two cabinets stand just over 96" tall and once completed will be
about 96" wide. There sill be two upper and lower banks of small 6x6
drawers that will fit in between each cabinet. 24, 6x6 drawers + the
four larger drawers that go will go in the big cabinets.

Looks good. Interesting color combo.

Does the missus have enough stuff to fill the pantry up when you have it al
built?

We moved from a smaller house to a bigger one but a bigger kitchen into
a smaller one, storage wise. She can fill it. ;~(

Nice! I really like contrasting woods. What wood did you use to
ebonize and what was your treatment?

Actually that is a Dark Brown Dye Stain by General Finishes. All of the
wood is white oak.

Thank you

I now grok your comment about Minwhacked. Condolences. :/

(Note that I'm not fond of wildly contrasting wood colors like that.
They probably look better in person. "Espresso" looks almost black in
the pics.)

For a long time we thought we picked black, when the light hits it just
right it is brown, dark brown, very dark brown.
