Brigham Style Kitchen Cabinets

This is another job that I worked on for John Brigham (along with Seth Hock, Karl Lundeen and West Fletcher). John has developed a unique and recognizable style of furniture/cabinetry, I’ve enjoyed working with him since 1996. (About half of the work I do currently is for John.)
Cabinets were made from reclaimed douglas fir. 
…and a shot of their son’s funky bathroom vanity–just for kicks.
