The advantage with this design by Eric Shade, is that you get the speed of building with plywood and the beauty of cove and bead strips. In this boat, we are using California redwood and Eastern White Pine for the deck.

Our customer designed the interior space and we matched up the exterior to their existing cherry kitchen and dining room cabinetry.

A few years ago, we were asked to match our cabinets to an off-white paint chip, our customer called, “French Vanilla” We worked with our finish supplier and developed a custom tinted, pre-catalyzed finish finish we also named, “French Vanilla”. Since that project, we have used the same custom finish many times, including on the condo renovation we show here. One thing that is different on this project is that we also included a very subtle Van Dyke Brown glaze to highlight the simple door design.

Here is such a project, made of select hickory, where the reveals between doors and drawers is kept to a minimum to achieve that european look:
