Comments (15)I've done quite a few of KM kitchens in the Bisque glaze, which is their Dove White with a vanilla glaze on it (as they are now renaming their finishes to reflect more accurately the layered process). We have an office display in the Bisque. That particular display is old enough that all of the doors show the typical cracking associated with the expansion/contraction of wood. I've only had a couple of issues with customers being unhappy with the Dove White with Vanilla Glaze (Bisque). On one of those complaints, there was a definate factory defect in that the outer frame of the door had warped enough that unpainted wood showed extensively at the joints. Those few doors that showed that were replaced and no further problems ensued. I know that a big contributory factor to that was that this was new construction that didn't have adequate temperature/humidity control achieved yet. It was only a couple of doors, so it wasn't a problem to ask for replacement. But, really, it's up to the customer to achieve temperature/humidity control in the environment before the cabinets are installed. It wasn't worth it to make that point with only a couple of doors affected, so we registered the point with the customer, had the doors replaced, and made sure we adequately cover that issue more clearly in the future. One of my newer colleagues had an issue with a laundry room he did in Bisque---because he didn't adequately explain all of the above that I listed to the customer. She was very unhappy about the joint line cracking. She eventually accepted it (with several doors replaced and a discount) because it was a laundry room. My colleague had a meeting with me he won't soon forget and now adequately qualifies the customer on the front end. Especially those who say they want paint. Often, what they really want is thermofoil that looks like paint, not real paint. I have done one kitchen in the Dove White this year that turned out quite nicely. It was in the shaker style with the satin chrome bow pulls and very simple moldings and a lot of clear glass with in cabinet lighting. Light grey floor tile and beadboard backing for the peninsula and back splash. Very serene beachy looking and the customer loved it. We had zero issues on the cabinets other than KM "losing" half the order (which showed up the next week), and yes, some of them came in with the paint already showing some cracking at the joints. She knew to expect this, because it was explained on the front end. So, it was not a problem....See MoreKraftmaid or Merillat Pewter w/Graphite glaze - anyone have this?
Comments (0)If so, I would love to see a pic! We are considering this color for our island with darker stained perimeter cabinets. I think, based on the 4x4" square my cabinet guy has, that this is a taupy-grey color overall, but I would like to see it in real life... or at least on my monitor. I have only found a couple of pics with google search. Thanks!...See MoreACK! Kraftmaid Cabs installed today - another problem!
Comments (33)Thanks for all the replies! I really appreciate having so many virtual friends to help! DH will go today to meet w/ kitchen designer, OK the door swap in person, and get the show back on the road. Christmas dinner will be in the crock pot, but that's OK, we're moving forward. I am posting some pics of the counter/backsplash samples on the other thread, but here's one anyway (can't resist). Tile size on left (11/2 x 1/2) is the shape, but the squares on the right show the tile color. It does look different on the card here than it did on the sample board in the showroom. I liked the sample board a lot better. Here's a picture from sonoma tilemakers' website. It's the same tile, in a 1/2 x 1/2 - color is jade. The color I chose is called minka. This just shows the reflectiveness of it. Here's the minka from their website. Sorry it's so small, I couldn't seem to enlarge it. It's got more grays/taupes/blues in it. What do you think? Be HONEST, please. Suzanne...See MoreKraftmaid Vantage Evercore or painted maple?
Comments (22)@itsourcasa I just came across this post and then noticed your backsplash in your post about the window trim. I love it! Would you mind sharing a link to that tile? And do you have any pictures of your finished kitchen? You can message me, if you like. We are meeting with a KD next week and we are very interested in the Evercore (slab doors, dove white and maybe midnight like yours or one of the grey tones, not planning on upgrading the boxes). Are you happy with the finished product?...See MoreRelated Professionals
