Pine Cabinets

We torn out part of our old kitchen and custom built our own cabinets.  The main reason we did this was to install a dishwasher also the old cabinets were worn and damaged.  There was no hookup for the dishwasher so we had to plumb it in as well we had to add a new breaker to the fuse box and run the wiring to the dishwasher.  We were originally a little worried about doing the electrical ourselves but after we got a quote for $350 to add a breaker and run 20 feet of wiring, we decided to do it ourselves.  It ended up costing us under $30 to do it ourselves.  We improved on the design of the cabinets because we were custom making them ourselves, so we gained extra counter space and improved the functionality of the cabinets.   We replaced the counter top and tiled in a back splash as well.  The cabinets are made of pine and we used a walnut stain.  Pine is a very soft wood so to improve the toughness of the pine we added several coats of polyurethane.  

Anyways, here are some pictures.
