FR cabinet doors different from shaker in kitchen?
Comments (15)There is a lot of natural light in the room and also plenty of artificial light available for night. The almost all of the family room wall to the left (West) of the fireplace wall (North) is glass. It is about 8 feet of fixed pane floor to almost ceiling and 4 feet of sliding door. Also, we will be adding a lot of painted surface. Currently, the part of the walls not covered by the rock fireplace are covered with pickled redwood. We will be taking that out and painting the walls so the East wall and the area around the TV and above the fireplace will be painted. I have trouble seeing painted cabinets there. Also, it is the room is the main play area for our grandchildren who are here frequently. One purpose of the storage in the cabinets is to give a place for their toys. I think wood will hold up better there. Breezy, we have a sketch of the area, but it's too big for our scanner. I'll try to make a smaller one and post it later. You have the general idea correct. The North wall is a bit over 17 feet. Left to right it will have (tall cabinet means 92" high and low cabinet means 30" high - the measurements below are widths): 42" tall cabinet - holds left speaker 24" tall cabinet - middle holds components and media computer 66" low cabinet - flat panel wall mounted above 48" fireplace 24" tall cabinet - holds right speaker The width of the left hand cabinet will be adjusted to fill the space available after the fireplace is framed in....See MoreShould I add an edge detail to my modified Shaker door?
Comments (32)Thanks sombreuil_mongrel for your post. I didn't know that having wider bottom rails and narrow stiles was true Shaker. Good to know if we go with 3 inches on both the stiles and rails we will be craftsman style. I do like the look of the beefier frames. We saw that look in one high end kitchen and were very happy that Scherr's could accommodate that request. I checked the Scherr's site again and they offer a 5/32 diameter roundover profile (profile K) which is very close to your 1/8' diameter recommendation. Hopefully, that will offer enough paint chip and stain scuffing protection as mentioned by live_wire_oak. Carol...See More3-piece shaker drawer fronts?
Comments (11)great input, thanks. I have a lot of drawers, so with slab I was concerned that it might look kind of unfinished, or like a slab front kitchen. I have both stacks of drawers and drawers on top of cabinet doors. The cab people ensured that the stiles would line up on drawers over doors. You're absolutely right about letting the grain of the walnut shine through uninterrupted. This 3-piece looks either kind of dated or kind of craftsman, which my house is not. It's 1904 and while we're not bending over backwards to preserve, I do like things to look not TOO out of time/place. I'm having the same style but painted in the adjacent dining area, and that might be a different consideration as there won't be the wood grain to show off. On a side note: man, these walnut cab doors are ge-orgeous....See More2 or 3 panel shaker doors better?
Comments (12)We are currently building and in the selections process. Our architect is well known for creole style homes so it will have elements of that, with some interior finishes also resembling modern farmhouse. I know it sounds weird but it will be beautiful when finished. Our cabinets will be shaker. I was leaning towards the 2 panel but then saw the 1 and 3 and thought well maybe I should go with one of those. But I think I will stick w/ the 2 panel. :) THANK YOU ALL!!...See Morejoyce_6333
