Cabinet making is the top level of carpentry skills. How skilled are you?

I dont think they are hard to make at all. Its just a box with a door. Instead of making a bunch of small ones, I'm just going to make a few long ones that go the length of the wall, so 4 cabinets total instead of a dozen or so.

Before you buy all of the material to make all of those cabinets, only buy material to make one small one and see how it turns out.

You'll save yourself a lot of money if it turns out to be harder than you expected.

Thanks Hopes, but I'm no dummy. I just build a set of W&D pedestals with drawers. Cabinets are the same thing only bigger with doors. DIY runs in my blood. lol.

One thing I would try to is open shelving you can hang hangers on close to the dryer. I've discovered if you hang clothes right away instead of shoving them back into the hamper, you can cut down on the dread ironing.
