Custom Entryway Cabinet

This was a custom entryway cabinet commissioned by a client in Toronto. My client previously used a makeshift clothes cabinet at the entryway to the home made of plywood. They liked the way it was used but the appearance had to align with the rest of the house. Everything about this piece was custom, including the finish which was applied by hand.

Before. Client had makeshift plywood coat cabinet in the entryway to the home.

Finishing in progress. It was very important for this large cabinet to be able to come apart easily so as to be able to get it in the client's house.
