I haven't seen "What Lies Beneath" and found Jack Nicholson's character in "Something's Gotta Give" too distractingly irritating to really notice the decor (maybe I need to watch it again with the sound off! LOL), so I can't really help you with specifics there. :-) Since you've got a simple ranch, I would keep the doors very simple too. I can easily see a Shakerish two-panel or even a single panel to echo your cabinetry, unless you're going very fussy with your new moldings which I think would be incompatible with your architecture. Because they're all on a different floor mixing in the six-panel style isn't as big a deal, although that's one of the very few things I do have a bit of a fetish for consistency about... PO put an addition on our house and used six-panel doors when the rest of the house has four-panel, and I think they just scream "addition". (Thankfully there are some of the old four-panel doors in the shed so we can swap them out eventually. Why he didn't use those instead of buying new doors is beyond me, considering how cheap he was on everything else!) I did go dig up some pictures of the SGG set and noticed a lot of use of French doors - would you consider using French doors (singles) on rooms that don't require privacy? Oh, and if you know the name of that discontinued SW paint, they'll almost certainly have the formula for it in their computer. Just for giggles, I'm daydreaming about a (partially) white and (faux) soapstone kitchen too, although it's much warmer... I've linked to pictures that have been serving as inspiration for said daydreams below. I don't know whose kitchen it is, it's probably from a magazine, but someone gave them to me a couple of years ago. Unless we win the lottery, mine'll be Ikea and Formica instead of custom and soapstone, but I think it'll still get the point across. BTW, you don't need a special tool to open the privacy knob sets that have a hole in the knob. We've always just used a nail or a bobby pin... in fact, in the houses where I babysat, the parents usually kept a nail on the top of the door casing because their mischievous little monstersoffspring ;-) would lock themselves into various rooms!

I also have the Edgemont door style in white -- mine is Nordic. I had custom painted white cabinets before, and I hated how the oil based paint had turned dingy yellow beige, so I wanted a true, clean white. I also have a lot of warmer tones in adjoining rooms, so I didn't want to go with a cool undertone. I like the crisp white. I also like the Edgemont door style. There is -- or at least at the time was -- one door style in Brookhaven that is less that Edgemont. I think that is the Andover. Chatham is a Woodmode door style -- although it appears to be a simpler style, the Woodmode line is going to run more. I personally prefer the softer line and little bit of detail in the Edgemont -- you make like the sharper edges of the Chatham (more rustic or more contemporary leanings). I think that decision would be based on the look you are going for and possibly your budget. Either one is going to be a good choice.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE that second one!! I think the laminate looks great in that style, like Poggen - Pohl, which seems VERY expensive. Nancy

Hey abbeycat - your cabinets look beautiful - I don't think they look country at all! I guess it depends which style you liked better, the shaker or the slab... Sounds like you're more of a slab person. :-) I wanted the big drawers not to stand out so much in style from the cabinet doors. Plus I love my shaker style and wanted as much of it as possible - it's a wide shaker with 3" rails & stiles. I thought it looked a little more contemporary than the standard shaker. (After I'd ordered the cabinets, it occurred to me to wonder how they were going to do 3" rails on 6" high drawers... or would the 6" drawers be slab after all. Turned out they did 2" rails with 3" stiles - looks great!) Someday I'll have photos to post. My contractor messed up my cabinet installation... I'm currently waiting for the replacement cabinets to come in. (Sigh.)
