This is a kitchen reface. The original kitchen was of 50's styling with plain stained plywood doors and black hardware and semi concealed hinges. The kitchen was redone with raised panel Sapelle' doors with a clearcoat. They were hung on European concealed hinges with full overlays to hide the faceframes below them. The exposed sides of the cabinets were covered with either a raised panel or a flat panel. The drawers were replaced with solid maple dovetailed drawer boxes and the hardware was replaced with a soft closing undermount slide. The drawer fronts were slab design with a decorative edge routed on, the same as the doors. Two runs of molding were replaced with larger, more ornate moldings to create a more balanced look overall. This kitchen resides in Longmeadow, MA.
This is a painted kitchen done in a beaded panel style. The doors and cabinet sides have beaded panels. The doors swing on European concealed hinges and the dovetailed drawers ride on undermount self closing slides. The pantry cabinet has roll out shelving on the lower section and adjustable shelving on the upper section. The island has sliding glass doors that were actual windows from the house. The open shelving near the refrigerator was made from wood reclaimed from the home owners boat. The columns were wrapped in the same beaded detailing as the cabinetry.
