Anyone have Conestoga Cabinets in Crystal White or Chesapeake?
Comments (74)It has been a long while (don't think I ever posted final pics - I will in the near future .. kitchen is a mess right now... :-) ) Anyway, here are some pics of the hood I constructed from panels. The main 3 panel front is basically a cabinet door that I specified as a 3 panel door. I would have had to have someone construct the sides/box and have that painted to match by conestoga (which would have been really cost prohibitive for what I wanted). I think I achieved the 3 panel look I was going for though using panels ordered from Conestoga and cutting and constructing a box. Like I said, the front angled 36" panel (with 3 panels) was basically a door made to my specs. The sides were 3/4" plywood painted/finished to match from Conestoga (I cut these to get the angle. The front flat panel and top (under crown molding panel) were pieces of hard maple from Conestoga painted to match. The molding pieces were used to match/hide some of the edges and give it a finished look. They are light rail moldings from Conestoga I also ordered in the matching frosty white. I attached the 3 panel to the front so you can remove it (see pics) with some panel clips I ordered (see pics). The bottom of the panel rests on an angled cut of the molding and the top pops into the clips to hold it in place. Sides of panel were screwed into the adjacent cabinet and across the back by two stringer pieces of wood (bottom one was painted maple ..because it shows underneath) which is used to connect the whole box to together for stability. The other upper stringer, is a 2x4 which is used to carry the weight of the fan housing. This 2x4 stringer is lag bolted into the wall studs. The side panels of the cabinet were also screwed into this 2x4 stringer (again for stability prior to installation). Like I said, it is not ideal but passes the eye test if you don't look too closely - but I am picky (whenever you build something yourself...you are pretty critical because you notice everything). If I had the extra to spend, I probably would have had someone build it from scratch but this was my attempt to get the look while using all Conestoga sourced panels (to exactly match the Frosty White paint color and sheen). Being a medium talent DIY carpenter with limited tools, I would consider this to be an advanced difficulty job since it required pocket screws to get the panels connected in front and it was generally a PITA to measure, remeasure, connect the panels, trim etc all to get exactly 36" wide and get tight panel match lines (which I did with some tweaking). A real Carpenter would have a better time doing this and would probably turn out a bit better. Hope this helps someone....See MoreDoes anyone have an update on their Conestoga Kitchen ?
Comments (28)Barlowmom, my mom had her fridge electroplated hunter green (guess when by that color?) in the 80s. If they could do it then, they can sure do it now! And white? I'm sure they'd scoff and he-men that bodyshop men are, would say, "Easy peasy, ma'am! I'd be happy to put together someone's cabinets. Help me figure out a reasonable cost per cabinet + mileage (which would include time and the brilliance of my company) and I'm there! Really, it's SO easy. I'm willing to bet your GC will become a Conestoga assembly expert in his next meeting with someone! your cabs are beautiful!...See MoreDoes anyone have distressed/antiqued white cabinets on here?
Comments (0)Hi there everyone! I just found this forum last night while I was searching online for some cabinet reviews. I wish I would have found this months ago.......or even a year ago!! We are in the middle of a complete kitchen redo. The kitchen has been gutted and we are stuck on our cabinet choice. Our old house had a medium stained maple cabinet with dark glazing and distressing and we had pine plank flooring. The kitchen was very open and received quite a bit of light with higher ceilings. Although it was a lot of wood, it didn't seem dark and we liked it. Our new home however has lower ceilings, isn't an open floor plan (although the dining area is attached to the kitchen, but not open to the great room if that makes sense) and doesn't get as much natural light as our old kitchen. We did install the same flooring as our old house so it's a medium colored pine plank flooring. My husband wouldn't mind having the same wood cabinets but I'm thinking it will just be too dark so we are exploring other options. I've been searching and searching for kitchens for months now and I am drawn immediately to white kitchens while looking.......like a French country look......not contemporary. We have distressed furniture in the dining area and I don't think the contemporary look will blend well with the style of our home. If anyone on here has a French country type kitchen with white or off-white cabinets would you mind sharing a pic with me please? We are stuck with trying to decide between glaze or no-glaze and distressing/no distressing. I also will have some questions about the layout of our kitchen but I'm trying to get a drawing made up to post before I do that. Thanks so much in advance for your help!!...See MoreDoes anyone have Decora cabinets in “white” cabinets?
Comments (13)I'm in the process of picking out a white. They carry Sherwin Williams. I happen to love Benjamin Moore White Dove. They "say" they can match but I don't know if they can exactly.The only SW white that comes close to BM White Dove is SW Westhighland White. BM is a much better quality paint....See Moregr8daygw
