We have these for the doors on our bathroom vanity. I think I got them at Home Depot. http://www.dlawlesshardware.com/dacado2perpk.html They're not as elegant as the Blum ones that install on the hinges (we have those in the kitchen), but they do the job.

Jaymie, I know what you mean about the waiting. Sometimes I think it was even harder for me with my DH so close by in the garage. I love the smell of sawdust from wood projects (my dad was a cabinet maker) so I was always checking to see what he was doing and if I could help - you know, speed things along. ; ) I'll be looking forward to seeing your cabs, too! Thank you, remodelqueen and pluckymama (cute name!). I am really proud of what we have accomplished. Now to finish it! It's actually been 95% done and functional for some time but we switched the fridge location which left a 5 ft. space for a nice built-in hutch. So it was back to the lumber yard. Bet you can guess my DH didn't mind that one bit. ; ) Here's a pic of the hinges. They're from Horton Brass, satin nickel. Really nice quality. They don't take up much room at all. We also don't notice any loss of space from the insets. I think if you're really tight on space it might matter but storage needs can be met with them, especially if you're not a collector of every gadget or don't need three of everything. HTH! Diana

Change the cabinet to a design that would use a 90 deg. hinge. Alternately, affix some soft cushion bumpers to the door so the shutting is silenced. I guess hinges with other-than-90 deg. closure are not sold in numbers large enough to justify the cost of adapting to the soft-close option. Casey

Honestly, Kraftmaid is a pretty good quality kitchen cabinet company. They use blum hardware on some of their models, I am assuming that if they are starting to make their own hinges, they are an imitation of the blum models, and equivalent quality. At the end of the day, if you try slamming the cabinet doors, and it still soft closes, its probably a good quality hinge. Deluxe Vanity
