We like new twists, and this is one that we haven’t covered on the blog: For a very cool mid-century modern home in the Decatur area, we created kitchen cabinets that are more than 11 feet high from floor to ceiling.

To ensure that the homeowners can easily use the cabinet space at the top of the cabinets (oak veneer with a custom gray stain), the contractor decided to add a library-style ladder.

The bad news?

The photos were taken before the ladder was added. (Fortunately, we know all of our followers have vivid imaginations and can picture how cool this would be.)

But if you look closely, you can see another cool feature in the photo below. That tall cabinet on the far right may look like pantry space, but it’s actually the refrigerator in wood “camouflage.” But these clients have kids, so we added a steel panel on the side of the fridge so they would still have a spot for a kitchen art gallery.

It’s unique requests and finishing touches like this that make every project a blast.
