I go with cloud_swift's idea. Although my eye is anal, so I'd have the line of 5-panel going straight across. There are drawers that are just too short to warrant the stiles and rails. Those, I'd go with slab. The larger drawers, where you could actually see the recessed panel, would be where I'd go 5-panel. It's the same with tall, skinny cabinets. 9" cabinets wouldn't show the detail! The rails and stiles would be right next to each other! The detail does show, even with darker cabinets. A pure slab is very much more modern -- unless they're inset. But you haven't mentioned which. As much as you talk about your handles and pulls, they're still going on a door or drawer. The detail behind them -- or lack thereof -- will change how the jewelery is showcased. I'd suggest just being consistent. Maybe all the top, skinny drawers slab, with the larger, lower drawers being detailed. You chose this because you liked it in the first place. Are you settling?

There's more to glass door cabinets than just routing out the center panel and replacing it with glass. Glass door cabinets have to be ordered with the matching interior from the beginning. The way to do it with the natural maple interiors is to paint them an accent color or a color that closely matches the exterior of the cabinet and install obscure glass.

The inset on mine are abou 1/4" and yes, I like them. I ordered the doors that I wanted glass in, without the glass - just the frame. Then I took the frames down to a local glass shop and after deciding what glass I wanted, they installed it free of charge. I just paid for the glass. I wanted to do it that way because of the very limited selection that there was to choose from with Thomasville. Eventually, my Dad is going to make some stained glass inserts for them, but I didn't want to leave them "naked" until that happens. The link below is to my kitchen, and there are pics on there of my glass doors. Hope that helps. Boxie Here is a link that might be useful: My kitchen with glass doors
