Recently there was a conversation on the Yahoo half scale group about Bonnie Lavish’s kitchen cabinet kits. She discontinued these several years ago but said she would cut some for people on the list who were interested. Since I have two half scale kitchens to work on—the Fairfield and the Rosedale—I jumped at the offer! I got my kits in the mail in early September and it’s taken me a few weeks (off and on) to get the Fairfield’s built.
(Bonnie told me that she might start selling these more regularly if there’s interest. If you want more info about the kits, you can find her contact info on her website.)
The kits are modular, similar to the Houseworks Kitchen Collection kits available in 1″ scale. There are several different widths and cabinet heights available and I spent a lot of time futzing with layout ideas before placing my order. Here’s the layout I decided on.
The kits are laser cut from cherry wood. There are three different door styles available (grooved, cathedral, and traditional). I chose the grooved for the Fairfield.
