I just finished scouring the internet for ideas and stores for my powder room, and maybe the following will be helpful. Although you all probably already know about faucetsdirect, I put it here because I loved their search methodology. Turns out they had good prices even on unusual items, so I bought everything from them. Here are other links I used too. http://www.faucetdirect.com/ http://www.csnstores.com/ http://www.bellacor.com/index.cfm http://www.whitehauscollection.com/ http://www.qualitybath.com/index.htm http://www.insidestore.com/index.jsp http://www.danze.com/default.asp http://insights1.com/shop.php?serial=MD0yNjUxNDM0MzU9NTA2Njc5MjI3PTE3ODI5NSZiaWRrZXl3b3JkPXZlc3NlbCBzaW5rJnByb3ZrZXl3b3JkPXZlc3NlbCBzaW5rcyZiaWRtYXRjaD1z After all my internet searching, going to Home Depot was a let down for me, hardly any choices! LOL! Have fun. ~Lynn

I am also looking for frameless, too bad Rubottom is about 100 miles out of range for us-beautiful work. I went to look at a full kitchen Kraftmaid Venicia display at Lowes and was very disappointed. They chose the Tigress Gloss style to display, and it was hideous up close. Looked like something from a Barbie doll house. The doors and drawers did not all close smoothly and the hinged door corner cabinet had a large gap in the corner. In general, I don't like the hinged doors that go with lazy Susan's in blind corners. I saw a nice single door angled cabinet in another thread (blind corner thread) that housed a lazy Susan but I suspect it might not be possible with frameless construction. Now I'm wondering if I should go with full overlay framed cabinets. I see very little difference in overall appearance and the cabinetmakers I have met are much more comfortable with traditional construction.

I own a small kitchen cabinet showroom and I would take your business! I can give you some insight however to the problems you are facing. First of all, buying one cabinet isn't the issue. For me, the delivery is. I use a local service and for me to deliver one cabinet (up to 5) the cost is $250. A whole kitchen costs $350, but no more than $550. To add that cost to the cost of the cabinet, is usually cost-prohibitive. I fortunately, have as my business partner, a contractor with a truck who will do these smaller deliveries for me. However if it is a larger cabinet, he needs another man, who must be paid, and the problem starts again! As far as countertops, kitchen cabinet showrooms usually do not fabricate their own tops. The way this works is, I as the owner, am charged one price, and then I am supposed to sell it to you with an upcharge. This is all well and good except I have NO control over who is making/delivering your top. When they don't show up as planned, when the seam is wrong, etc..., you, as the buyer are mad at ME, and I had no control. It is not worth the $ I could potentially make. Therefore, my practice is to give my customers MY price, thereby alleviating me of the responsibility. My customers can deal directly with the countertop people. I make it very clear. You get my price, but I am not involved. Everyone is happy! : ) That having been said, I will always help anyone with a small jobs - guide you and explain all of this so you don't feel brushed off. Good luck!

weenie, not in Hagerstown, we are in Annapolis. Hagerstown is a custom builder, they build their own cabinets. We did not use a kitchen designer as we generally knew what we wanted and they put it on paper. However they did provide some suggestions. They do have their own in-house kitchen designer/sale rep that can help you put your ideas on paper and help to come up with solutions and designs. Pricing is all dependent on the size of the kitchen, level of detail you want in your cabinet, wood species, features etc, so what we paid will not necessarily represent what you will pay. I will say that we were able to get kitchen cabinets and two bath vanities (one is a double and cherry, the other is single) for approx. +/-20% less than what we would have spent at Plain and Fancy or the like which only included their basic cabinet box and hardware. Pricing is more in line with some of the Amish builders recommended on here and was a hair above a semi custom builder like Jim Bishop, but the quality is exponentially better. Hagerstown does offer a semi custom line if costs for their custom line prove to prohibitive. They are worth considering, you might be surprised.
