Cabinet for above built in refrigerator

This past week has had a different feeling. We are waiting for the plumber to finish his "rough in" work so  we can get past our first inspection  which will be for electrical, framing, roof, plumbing, and air conditioning. This has to be done to go on to insulation and drywall.
WE have run out of jobs to do which will get us closer to moving in and are now looking for things to do.

We had an extra salvaged louvered door that had a slight bow to it, and decided to cut it in half to create a louvered cabinet door for above the built in refrigerator. This will help tie the kitchen area in with the rest of the house which has louvered doors throughout.

Starting off with an older louvered door.
Here is how it looked after cutting through the center and taking a bit off of the bottom
We then went to the appliance store and found that standard height of a modern refrigerator is 6 feet. Framed in the refrigerator opening and created a shelf and braces for the louvered door.
Used standard door hinges to mount the newly created louvered cabinet door.

This will be a nice large storage area for those items that are seldom used.
