no, these are off the rack at Home Depot, custom would be a ton more expensive. I don't think that's boring at all. What i have chosen for the kitchen is very similar in style to what i had put in downstairs in the butler's pantry when we finished the basement. We went with a butler's pantry instead of a bar, since we don't really entertain like that.

it's BASICALLY these, but with a warmer cherry type wood and with dark granite countertops. I like whatever that is with the lines up and down on the doors. cottage style or something? don't have the descriptive language. i want black wrought iron-like handles etc. and none of that glass display stuff, want closed cabinets.

Nice, but I think the larger panels, like in front of the sink need something to break up the monotony. Even a divider in the middle to make it look like two sections.

You will love those cabinets, I swear you will-

It is rustic style-and I love it-those are the same cabinets I have in my kitchen-except mine are knotty pine, and the pulls/handles are the rustic black wrought iron type. I first saw the style at Home Depot, too but the cabinet maker was able to make the same thing for less, with no loss of quality-but here, every other guy is either a welder who makes fences and ornamental stuff, or makes cabinets and furniture-even MrT5 did-so custom cabinets and stuff like that are very reasonable because it is a cottage industry.

I’m wanting to have the same cabinets made again for my nest. My counters are tile here, but I’ll decide on counter tops for the nest further down the road-it will be either granite solid surface I buy, or tile mosaic that I do myself, which is a very appealing idea, if time consuming.

I like those cabinets so much that I had the same ones made for the master bath here, too, with glass pulls, and a marble solid surface top with double shell sinks, but I may do something different there this next time...

They look similar to beadboard. Pretty.
In other news, this looks promising. Boomer Sooner!

That will be pretty - I have a dark granite and honestly lose things on the surface! lol Black bread ties just blend in with the granite and I often have to get down a bit to eye level to find those things! lol But I love the granite and wouldn’t trade it!
