In Canada plumbs are only found in the pantry

The faceframes for the center cabinet and the far right cabinets where attached with pockets all around, because they can be hidden and the cabinets buts up against the wall. The middle rails biscuits where used on all cabinets. And the far right cabinet, biscuits where used for the stile. Technically you could just nail them on because it is being painted! You really have to be diligent when filling the holes if you do choose to nail them. Nothing is more disappointing then seeing the divets left by a nail. The top and bottoms of all cabinets are covered with trim to you can pocket those easily. Just a little advise, on the Far right cabinet make your right hand side stile at least an inch wider to allow for scribing to wall. This makes all the difference in the look! I have yet to work on a old house where the walls are perfectly plumb!

Did you attache the faceframe with screws? If so, how did you hide all of the screw holes? DId you plug & sand all of them?
