Shannon Poe Thanks!

Doug Rooney What material are the counter tops?

Sandra Goddard What is the paint color for the Blue?

Shannon Poe I'm sorry, I don't have the info on the hardware. I provided the cabinetry design, but another designer provided the hardware in this show house kitchen.

Shannon Poe I'm sorry, I don't have any info about the windows.

Shannon Poe All the cabinetry in this kitchen is custom, including the blue cabinets. The doors were ordered from a door supplier called Conestoga. The finish was applied by a local artisan on site. The countertops are wood.

Shannon Poe @charmalloy, I'm sorry I didn't see your message! The artisan is Sean Sheppard at Silver Crow Studios in Westfield, IN.

Shannon Poe I don't have the color of the paint. The artisan worked directly with the homeowner to custom match a color based on her pieces of Deruta Pottery.

Shannon Poe The countertop around the sink is honed granite called Golden Lightning. The blue cabinet sit on wood countertops.

Jan Ros I'm ok with the "old" look. My concern is does it spot like a stainless sink? I'm not a big fan of stainless :)

Shannon Poe Copper is a living finish. it will patina over time. There are polishes that you can use to revive the finish, but it won't look exactly like it does the day it is installed.

cynthia murphy Wow, cabinetry is my specialty and the terms pre-fab and custom can mean one thing to some people and a completely different to others. I prefer to use the term "Stock" meaning produced with no modification from the manufacturers specifications and "semi custom" for some modifications allowed with possible upcharges and then "custom" which typically means every cabinet is produced per your specific requests. Factory finishes can be on all three types of cabinets with varying degree of expertise. A factory finish is not necessarily a bad thing at all-typically can have excellent durability and the conditions are well controled helping to keep a consistent finished product from one cabinet to another and especially if you need to order a replacement cabinet down the line. Cabinets bought off the store shelf would still be considered "stock" as are cabinets ordered from the manufacturer- you just might get a better selection of finishes, door styles and cabinet options. You could also use a local "cabinetmaker" and get stock cabinets as they may order there boxes broken down and ready to build from an outside vendor and then "customize" then at your home. Best advice I can offer is make sure you inspect any cabinet product before ordering-not just the door style and finish the whole cabinet box . That way you will get the best product you can that satisfies your desire for quality.

Norm Tessier Cabinets, Inc. Actually, many local cabinet manufacturers compete with the finishes of factory cabinet companies. Usually with your local manufacturer, you can have more input into the finish and other factors that will go into your project. I definitely recommend taking some time and visiting your local manufacturer and see what they can offer, you should be pleasantly surprised!
