Don't know name but...it's OK on the larger, lower cabinet; too busy for me on smaller areas -- like the white chest and the bathroom.

I like the pattern. I think using it on some cabinets is the key to an attractive outcome. It is pretty in both the photos you posted.

Crossbuck cabinet doors.

Crossbuck! That’s the word I was looking for.

Here is a kitchen I like,

I will have limited uppers, so was just thinking on the three sets of doubles.

Ignore the colors, just playing with options.

Very nice.
Gives a bit of visual interest!

That style would be great for a log cabin!

$$$$ is what you call it. It will be right at the top of the price range if you can even find a company that offers it. It’s a difficult style to construct. And a little goes a looong way or it starts looking like a stable.

Call Sherrs. They will be happy to work with you. They make things. This door can be made in various ways. Nothing prohibitive about it. They can make doors and drawer fronts for Ikea boxes if you want. Your drawn layout reminds me of a bookcase in Meryl Streep's character's home in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. Raised panel doors with a diamond design. Your spacing may make the cross pieces difficult because of the need to make them a minimum width.

I like it, though it makes me think of the British Union Jack. I agree that you should use restraint with this cabinet front ... it's a strong statement, and a little can go a long way.

Maybe the Union Jack vibe is what attracts me to it. Here’s my car, lol.

I’m also considering doing 30” high cabinets with 15” high cabinets stacked on top. I’m going to have to measure my ceiling height next time I’m there. If I can I’d just do the crossbuck on the cabinets around the range.

I like the style as well for your log cabin. If you can do the stacked uppers, what about the crosses on the small uppers only? Hood just a solid panel? Just playing around with youdoodle. It’s a fun little app right.

Rebunky, you are obviously better at you doodle than I! How did you get those perfect Xs?

Love your kitchen, the issue of how to do a hood is a problem. I’m going to have to hide the venting in the upper cabinets going to the right.

I saw this from another GWer post and thought it was a good option as well.

So here is how it might end up.

And here is a kitchen I love for color inspiration.

When I was younger I always wanted a horse in the house. . . I now realize why my parents only kept them outside. Then again, we didn't have a horse stall built in! How do you even find these pictures Sophie!? Lol

Love that pic, Sophie. Totally would have been me back in the day!

I used to show hunter jumpers so the barn thing is great with me. My current home is a Dutch Colonial with a gambrel roof and my town is the horsey place to be, dressage and show barns all around me. So maybe I’m trying to keep a bit of that when we move to the mountain cabin. And actually the entrance to our new home’s development is graced by a big beautiful pasture and old red barn.

You could probably customize a recessed panel door like a shaker or one with a beaded or v-groove panel with an X overlay of matching trim...if done carefully.

I think Sophie's pic is an actual stable, not a home where people live, with a kitchen. Like Annette, I ride, and many stables have kitchens or kitchenettes in the barn. That is because riders can spend all day at the barn, and need to eat. Or, at the fancier stables, they hold riding clinics where people travel to get there for the clinic, and food needs to be served. Just wanted to make that clear.

Though the lady with the frilly dress and bare feet is all wrong. No bare feet, ever, in the barn, for obvious reasons.

Kitchen Designer Mick De Giulio's take on a barn kitchen, complete with a La Cornue range, natch.

Just popped back in and laughed out loud when I saw Sophie's last post.

When I boarded my horses, several stables had kitchens but they weren't open to the stall area! I don't know what this is, but I know in this setup, my mare would have snapped those ties, knocked me AND little miss barefoot down and finished that lettuce and maybe the artificial flowers. You can see the horse is thinking about it.

I had that hairstyle - maybe early 70s?

That photo is the funniest thing I've seen all year!

Barncatz you are so right! I didn't even think about how that food was in that horse's view and nose! The barefoot thing kills me the most though. Barns I've been in don't even allow sandals.

The last barn I went to had a great kitchen and a beautiful loft room above the stall area. The owner of the barn started holding Pilates classes up there. So there was a small group of us wandering around in yoga gear in the barn. Always made people do a double take.

Well, breeches - yoga pants... some resemblance, lol. And friedajune, DH and I once went for an escorted ride through a state park in Texas hill country, fairly rough terrain. Anyway, the woman who took us out told us she had pulled the plug on a ride the day before when the one of the riders showed up in high heeled sandals!

Annette, looking at that stall door in Sophie's hilarious photo reminded me I had been wondering how the cabinets would look if you used half an x on each side of a pair of cabinet doors. On the four cabinet doors on either side of the hood? Just another thought.

This kitchen just appeared on my main page feed. Check out the door on the left! Maybe that detail for your pantry and not your cabs, as here?

Those doors are stunning!

Im thinking I’d do shaker doors and drawers in the majority of the kitchen and just do the crossbuck type doors around the hood.
