Re: Kitchen units / cabinets
Your kitchen looks nice!

I found some doable shaker style cabinets on 3D Warehouse that I'm temporarily using to match our upcoming kitchen remodel. They are from 2 different 3D model makers so while nice they aren't a consistent set of the cabinets that we will have installed, because one set has thicker cabinet doors than the other. It's not that noticeable in renders although I know they don't match. So in March after they are installed I plan on making my own models since some cabinets have different drawer arrangements than ours will have plus I'll make custom knobs and handles to match what my wife picked out. You can do a lot with SH3D. I think the ability to make your own custom 3D models of actual furniture in your home is underrated. This past weekend I made 2 retro (1957) dining room cabinets that we have and I'm quite pleased on the realism you can do in the program. I'm glad that I took the leap doing that because my staircase that I will create next will be better than I originally was going to settle on using. I also customized other house details like adding window frames for a more realistic look than the library windows can give on their own. The possibilities are endless and one has to keep from becoming obsessed with a virtual dollhouse for adults as my wife calls it. ;)
