DoLode - Your cabinets are beautiful. You are looking at them individually rather than in place as an entire kitchen. Our former house had the very same door/drawer styles as yours - they were beautiful. Take a deep breath and wait until they are installed. You will love them.

I understand your concern. Right now you are looking at them side by side, once they are up and the pulls are on the drawers, it will look great. Look at my cabs, granted I will have glass fronts, but my drawers are completely flat. I really think you will love the simplicity and originality of your mix. Do you have your pulls chosen? Tomorrow is an exciting day, post some update pics!

the slab drawers are easier to keep clean - no trim, grooves for food stuff to get caught / stuck... I would choose slab fronts also.

here's my sister's cabs -

I love the little detail on the drawers. It's perfect. It goes with the outer edge of the cabinets. It will be terrific when it is installed.

They will be beautiful and functional when installed. Remember, they will have hardware so the drawers will have plenty going on. Also you are looking at them in isolation, as others have mentioned. So no, I don't think you made a big mistake with the cabinets. :)

They are beautiful. After you see hardware on the drawers, it will make all the difference.

I think your cabinets are gorgeous.

I had the same type of drawer vs. door

You will see. When everything id pulled together you will love them :-)

Debbie- I Think they just look plain to you without a pull on them. If you get some great pulls, I think they will look great! I felt the same "OMG I made a mistake" at some steps along the way. Wait until you get everything together to judge. The color of the two cabinets are beautiful and I like the style.

You have the exact same cabinets and drawers as I do :) I too think the issue is the lack of hardware. I have just painted mine, so I had to remove the pulls, and they do look very plain without. Try holding up a pull to one. With some beautiful hardware, they will look gorgeous.

I'm smiling here as I had the same reaction when I saw how plain my drawers are. My immediate thought was to order a replacement face for each drawer.

I thought the same way - I didn't want the design on my drawers for fear it would look too busy. I too am trusting that once all is installed, I will get the look I was originally envisioning.

I'll keep an eye on your finished pics and eventual thoughts. :)

Thank you all so much for your reassuring comments. I have stepped away from the edge. I'm sure that once everything gets installed and I see everything all put together with hardware, etc., it will look great. Leave it to GWers to be objective, to understand and to be the voice of reason.

Curious, what white did you choose? They look like they have no glaze either. Thinking about going with Shiloh too. What do you think of the quality them? Thanks

Aries61-the white is maple with Soft White paint and the brown is maple with Sable stain and a VanDyke glaze. You are correct that the white does not have a glaze. As far as quality goes, we have only really looked at a couple of them, but the quality seems great. Very sturdy - open and close really nice - finished beautifully.

There are a lot of Shiloh owners here who have a lot more time and experience with their cabs so They would know better than I.

I prefer them the way you ordered them. They will look calmer and give you more freedom in your other choices. Sometimes a kitchen can look too busy and you can't quite put your finger on it....
This will be a great reveal sometime soon!

Great; they're just great....

Honestly, these are just prenuptial jitters. If ever wine were needed it would be now.

In general, I'm not actually a big fan of the 'drink wine' mantra that gets chanted around here, but in this case: seems wise to me. It's nerve-wracking unpacking the new stuff but until it's all together and hung where it needs to be finally, you won't get any real or relevant data, just nervous-making stuff.

Wrap em back up and crack open a bottle. ;) and congratulate yourself on some wise, stylish decisions.

remember the hardware ie: "the jewelry" is not on yet....they will look wonderful when all is said and done!

I think they look great too! I also love your floor. Do you happen to know the stain that is on it? Thanks!

I really like the drawer fronts, too. Especially that bit of edging detail. :)

I think I have the same, if not very similar drawer faces.
Even when I convert my cabs to inset, I'm keeping the drawer faces. Gotta figure that out, but I like them.

Clean.

Give your whole kitchen a chance as everyone is suggesting. It's very different when they're not sitting on the floor.

And don't blame the KD. She gave you options, I'm sure. And you picked 'em. She didn't make the choice. I'm glad you made a good one, IMHO.

Did you ever post your kitchen reveal ? I just came across your post. I am just about ready to order my Shiloh cabinets and looks like I am ordering the same door style (square raised) and slab drawers with 100 edge that is in your pics but in medium cherry. I would love to see pics of your finished kitchen. /Thanks!

New_to_sc,

Thanks so much for answering I just love, love your kitchen and all your choices. But just want to confirm if you can remember the exact door style you used and draw edge. Is your door the Shiloh square raised panel and does the slab draw have the 100 edge? Or is it another raised panel or draw edge? Thanks so much!

I still have the original cabinet specifications and the door is the Oxford raised panel with a 150 edge. And it also says the drawer fronts are sculptured fronts if that helps.

Thank you very much for responding so quickly with your cabinet specifications. I really appreciate it. It was very helpful.

I think it will be lovely. Hardware choice iw what will make the statement on the drawers.

New_to_sc,

That is a lovely kitchen. How do you like your sink and do you consider it easy to clean?
