The cabinet doors are sorta shaker style. Inset panels are plain lauan. The frames were made from Douglas fir. Tongue and groove joints assured good corners. Pocket screws enabled dry assembly until eventual paint or varnish. That depends how everything looks together at that point.
Scott helped by making the doors. I generally prefer doing things myself. That said, outsourcing door fab was a good call. He not only did a great job, I learned a lot by letting him do things his way, and observing.
A lot of care went into the size and placement of all doors. As planned the potty is still accessible with the bed fully extended. There's not much room to spare, so I best stay skinny.
The wide bed only blocks one door in the front and rear base cabinets. Some access under those counters was preserved in bed mode.
The closet door panel was split by a bridge stile in the middle. I was a little concerned about strength since its aspect ratio's so elongated. I also prefer the aesthetics of that two panel door.
Years ago, I hung my first doors in DIY cabinets. I learned the hard way about spring loaded hinges. They're cocked a little past flat.
That only matters a lotta bit. If not taken into account, then when sucked flat to cabinet faces by screws the swing end of the door walks a couple millimeters away from the hinge side. That may not seem like much. But I wanted a small, uniform gap (1/16") between each pair of doors where they meet in the middle. To make door hinges lay flat against cabinet faces for hole drilling I used shim screws to keep them propped open just the right amount. Once hung the shims simply fell out when the door was opened.
With cabinet doors my lil' yeti feels less like a camper. More like a home. I'm really digging the interior vibe with this remodel.
