Ripping 2x4s for the raised base the cabinets will sit on generated a lot of sawdust.

Raised base for left side of room

Testing the left side on the raised base.

Quick demo of what the base would look like if we just imitated what was originally in the room for baseboard.

Detail on the side of my china cabinet. The case itself and the shelves were made of red oak veneer plywood, with solid oak edging. The base and top molding were solid red oak. Accents made from mahogany.
