I built one almost exactly like the one in your photo and it wasn't that difficult.


Did you anchor your kitchen to the slab?

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

I like the look of that gravel/slate combo better than a slab.

Hell yes. We measured it out ahead of time and fixed anchors into the slab grid when we poured the concrete. Again, not terribly difficult.

Built a 2X4 frame anchored to the slab. Faced the frame with treated plywood on the sides and whatever that board you lay tile on for a top. Used screws instead of nails and then put a bunch of brick ties on the plywood and bricked three of the sides. Then tiled the top. On the front I cut Hardy Board that was made to look like stucco. Hand sanded the edges to round them so the thing looked hand laid and then used construction adhesive to fix it to the face. It looked good.
