Wood and ivory

We set out this morning for St. Michael, site of our cabinet shop, Great Ideas.  We needed to decide on the wood species for our cabinets and other wood built ins.  The birch floors have thrown the whole equation out of balance, so off to find zen (equation) balance again.  

We have found a balance that makes us both happy with stained cherry.  And thankfully it all looks good with the lot of Restoration Hardware knobs and pulls that we bought on Craigslist.  

The kitchen base cabinets and island will be in the stained cherry at the back.  The few upper cabinets will be in the painted white.   

In other news, Lucy has found that there is a piano in her bedroom.

  1. I really like your cabinets. Where did you purchase them?

  2. They were custom made by Great Ideas in St. Michael, MN. They did the design and the construction. Install was done by our carpenters. Whoever you work with, you should be able to get a similar look, it is a pretty standard door design. We really liked the simplicity of it. If you need anything about our choices, let me know! Good luck!
