Here's a glimpse at the latest project in my shop.  This is a shoe cabinet for a long time client done in a (my first) frameless (almost European) style. Finish is Ipswich Pine (actually had Sherwin Williams make it in their product vs. Minwax) stain with 2 coats semi gloss (for build) and two coats satin. Wood is Alder.  Different for me but I like the simplicity, which is what she wanted.  Hope she likes it.

Russ, that is a great piece, I absolutely love it. Again, as I posted a reply to John Moody's walnut work (minimalist), this design shows off the clean lines of modernism and minimalist designs that I really love. Going through older fashion and design manuals from the 50's and 60's this could be a throw back to the Danish Modern era of those times, this is an exceptional piece Russ. I really love it.

If you are able to disclose the details of your pricing, I bet others would like to know how you priced this and the final cost to client for this project.

Very nice. Your client should love it. I know I do.

Russ that is pure MISS/KISS w/ class...

 

and while we have your attention... have you built any more cars or trucks...

Wonderful look for that cabinet.  How can she not love it?  Nice.

 

Excellent Work. I am sure your client will love it too.

Very awesome!

Looks great Russ.  Does it match other furniture?  How many pair of shoes does it hold?  Do you have a pic of the inside?  Danl

Great job Russ. You did really good! The hardware, finish and especially the feet detail certainly fit the description that @John Morris described of Danish Modern or often times now called "Mid-Century Modern."

 

While not my personal style, I'm not the client who is paying for this.  I gotta' believe she's not going to like it, but going to love it!! Technically, I'm also "Mid-Century", unsure about the modern part, but regardless don't even come close to looking as good this cabinet. I keep being drawn to your feet detail and how perfect those complement the overall piece!

 

Are there shelves across the cabinet or is there a center divider? If shelved, adjustable?

It was me wasn't sure about the "modern" part...pretty sure I'm not Danish or modern for that matter.

It is official,
"Mid-Century Modern"!

Thank you for all the nice compliments.  Let me try and answer the questions and hope I don't leave any out.   John the pricing of this was 278 for material and 400 labor for a total of $678 plus tax. Pretty high in my opinion but I sure did NOT make a killing. I price all my stuff with materials and what ever I think the time may be. Stick... no more cars or trucks, but I do have a couple of plans and some time coming up until August. Danl .......I didn't take any pics of the inside and would guess this would hold 12 pair MOL withOUT stacking them but I'm sure you could get 20 in there if you didn't worry about scuffing. GrandpaDave ....... There is a divider between the center door and the right door. Each section had 1 shelf that is adjustable. Hope I covered it and thanks again for looking and commenting.
