The builder made that selection. She works out her finishes after I do the space planning.

what kitchen cabinets are these? can you give me a spec or manufacturer and model?

Spencer Cabinetry out of Monroe, WA. They make a nice builder-grade cabinet. I designed around their limitations for this project which was a spec home and, therefore, a good decision for the builder. Most of my projects are owner-direct and for those clients I use Aristocratic Cabinets out of Chehalis, WA. They were the West coast's first computer-driven cabinet shop, so customizing and non-standard configurations are easily done. You'll see their work throughout my website: www.spaceplanner.com.

in your pictures here, the color looks really yellow and the cabinets look really dark. These cabinets are walnut? In the builders pictures, the color is much different. What is the more accurate representation?

Interesting. We're both using photos from the same source. I can tell you that the cabinets are alder with full-face espresso-tone finish--likely a glaze. You'll see the same color tones on my website, www.spaceplanner.com, Project #2, on alder.
