There are three big benefits to building your own kitchen cabinets: Customization and quality, and affordability.
When you build your own cabinets, you can choose better materials.
When you build your own cabinets, extras like crown moulding or open shelves or an odd size don’t cost a fortune. It’s actually quite reasonable!
But most important, when you build your own cabinets, you can customize.
No more filler strips. Place your appliances exactly where you want them. Go as tall as you want with wall cabinets.
To help you customize, I created a free design configurator that is super simple to use, and a template that guides you through constructing your own kitchen cabinets! Here’s the links:
Enjoy and please share if you build, we can’t wait to see how your kitchens turn out!

The free plans for this dollhouse are designed by me and available for free on our sister site, Shelf Help. You can cut the plywood yourself or have us do it for you through the Shelf Help link. If you do choose to cut your own plywood, also add edge banding to the front edges of the plywood to finish them out.

Want to make your living room instantly gorgeous (and tidier)?
A barn door door console can change everything!

Instead of paying over $1000, have you thought about building it yourself?
- No particle board
- You choose the finish
- Rustic look from using solid wood
- Save hundreds of dollars – we estimate building it yourself will cost about $350
Let Me Do The Hard Part
Don’t have a truck or a table saw to cut the plywood?
I can help!
Let me ship the plywood pieces to your front door, precisely cut on a factory panel saw, with the front edges finished. Since you only pay for exactly what you need (no scraps) and you don’t have to buy edge banding, the price is only a little more for all this convenience and accuracy. And you don’t have to go out and buy and store a big, expensive, dangerous table saw.

Want to do everything yourself? No problem – we have the plywood cuts listed in the cut list too.
