How thick are the kitchen shelves and what are they made from? - I want to do this type of shelving in my new kitchen and I don't know what it is made of and if they are painted. Please help me with more information of these shelves. »

Erotas Building Corporation I believe the shelves are about 1 1/2" thick and made of MDF then just painted. Very durable.
Thanks,

What colors of white and their Brand names do you suggest for kitchen cabinets? - I will be having the kitchen cabinets painted soon. »
· Comment · 4 months ago
Erotas Building Corporation The white cabinet colors we tend to use the most are Benjamin Moore Cloud White 976, Bone White PM-30 and White Dove OC-17. I would recommend having samples done up of each to make sure you like the color and that the white does not turn, pink, green, blue, etc as some whites can do in certain rooms and lighting.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

where can I buy the frig cabinet around the greater Milwaukee Wi area »
· Comment · 4 months ago
Erotas Building Corporation I am sorry, but we are in the Minneapolis area and I am not familiar with cabinet makers/suppliers in the Milwaukee area. The cabinets in the kitchen were custom made for the space and to fit around the appliances shown.
Sorry I can't be of any help.

Carmel Builders Being in the Milwaukee area I can tell you the best place to get a fridge cabinet piece is to go thru a local woodworker. The cost is going to be very close to trying to find something that comes out of a box. The carpenter we use at Carmel Builders is Michael David Cabinetry in West Bend. He is very reasonable. Hope that helps!

Nice shelves. Do you know the width of them? Wondering if they are 12" or less. Thanks. »
· Comment · 4 months ago
Erotas Building Corporation The shelves in this Cottage Kitchen I believe are around 15" deep to be able to hold a regular dinner plate without it hanging over the edge.
Thanks,

What Houzz contributors are saying:
2. Open shelving. Installed in place of traditional upper cabinetry, open shelving recalls the days when kitchens were more utilitarian than decorative. Not only was cabinetry expensive, but open shelves allowed cooks to retrieve dishes and tools quickly. Today open shelves are as much about aesthetics as about practicality: Their openness helps make a space feel larger, and they often house accessories in addition to kitchen implements. You don't have to be obsessively neat and organized for open shelving to look attractive, but you'll want to make an effort not to let clutter build. Keeping dishware to a single color, as shown here, creates a striking effect.
Schoolhouse-inspired lights, butcher block, wood floors and simple cabinetry, along with some open shelving, are key to the cottage kitchen.
