Here is a link that might be useful: Walnut Kitchen Cabinets

Try google again. Might try the images icon as it had some beautiful examples of black walnut kitchen cabinets.

In the link that ci_lantro provided, you might want to try editing the search term to include your style.

I changed the search from "black walnut kitchen cabinets" to black walnut kitchen modern and got hits that are much closer to the info I'd like to see.

I know that every wood is different -- but I think some styles tend to go toward certain shades of certain woods and it makes the look entirely different.

I've been in one home that had them, and they were stunning. They aren't too dark at all with the right lighting! They were original 60's plain slab cabinets that the homeowner built himself, and even back then, he said the wood was expensive. I'm sure it's now up there with real teak or rosewood or maybe gold plated cabinets! LOL!

Black Walnut is one gorgeous wood! I think walnut cabinets with a lighter wood floor, light granite countertops and plenty of lighting would be incredible. Someone gave me a good quantity of black walnut boards. I am going to have a dining room table and a coffee table made out of them.

My cabinet maker has been in the industry for 30 years and has so many trade secrets, it's amazing.

Thus, he can get black walnut at a very good price, and he is picky, picky, picky about his wood, going down to the dock personally, hand selecting each board for each project.

The black walnut will be the same price as cherry and he says the issue is finding good quality wood since there's a lot of bad out there.

I am starting to love my cabinet guy more and more as we go through this process. I feel very blessed cause he is trying to break into the local market in my area (he did the high end Seattle homes before) combined with the downturn in the economy, so based on bids (I got about 7), I know I am paying almost 1/2 of what I would be anywhere else.

I have a sample of natural stained walnut here he did - it is stunning. But it will go on my perimeter so there will be lots of it. However, I will have a white/cream glazed island and light countertops and lighter floors, and will be putting in good lighting. My only worry is that it will be too dark.

We used walnut for our kitchen and masterbath. I love the wood, just gorgeous. I know there was someone over on the building a home forum that used black walnut cabs (I think for the kitchen and bookcases in family room??). You might try a search via the monthly postings there "its (month) how is your build coming?".

Walnut is pricey, but just a hair more than cherry. I don't think the wood is too dark if you have a lot of lighting. Here's some pics of ours:

thanks for those pics... i have a cabinet maker who likes the walnut wood and provided me a quote ~22-24K perhaps a few more than your kitchen. my dilemna has been trying to visualize the walnut wood (even though i went to his shop where he showed me non finish walnut cabinet and door styles etc it has always been one of my favorites) and my initial plan of designing a traditional cream color kitchen. so i'm still on the fence about going with a local cabinet maker with the walnut cabinets(although a bit over my bugdet) or bidding out my cabinets to a kitchen design place. having said all that, if you have any more pics of the walnut cabinets you could post I would really appreciate. From your pics, our styles are in the same line(backsplash,double wall oven/island/lighting choice etc. beautiful ligh pendants in the kitchen. thks

Yes, the more pictures the better. I found the thread you mentioned, and I saw another pic of your bath posted in it, and it looked so much lighter than the one here.

The lighting must have sooooo much to do with it because I am finding so much variation. For instance, this kitchen is black walnut, or so it says, and the sample I have from my cab guy looks pretty close to this (but a little darker, more grain, and prettier), and that's what I would like in the end, but most pics of it don't look like this kitchen or my sample. Even the black walnut cabinets in my cabinet makers shop that hold his sample stuff don't look like the sample I have or like this kitchen:

I guess it does look darker to the far left. Maybe it's just the bright sunshine that lightens it up so much.

I've done two kitchens in walnut with Plain & Fancy. It's a beautiful wood! With P&F, walnut is the same price as cherry.

I don't have any pics to show....but here's a link to the P&F site:

As a matter of fact, all of our kitchen cabs and living room entertainment center are black walnut, as well as a large timber accent at the fireplace and the mantel. We had trees near our garden cut down, and made into lumber for our cabinets. We love it!! I'm told that the wood lightens with time and exposure. These are not stained, just a natural finish. The wood has a rich depth to it that cannot be appreciated in the photos.

Oh coffehaus!!!! It was YOU!! I'm so glad you saw this and posted for needsometips because I had remembered your gorgeous black walnut cabs and couldn't find the old thread/remember who they belonged to!! They are just gorgeous

don't mean to hijack, but mairin, your kitchen looks gorgeous. i don't think i've seen any updated pics. the last one i saw was a sneek peak at your backsplash. it really turned out great. i LOVE the onyx behind your cooktop. really really beautiful. do you have any more pics?????

Mairin...thanks for the kind words. I saw that photo of your bathroom. WOW! That's one knockout vanity! The black walnut is just a timeless classic. Needsometips...you can't go wrong if you choose it.

gglks: LOL...we moved in Apr. 30th and my slacker self hasn't picked out stools yet and I was trying to wait until I had all the trimmings :) I might just have to do my official post, though, because even though I found the perfect table for the bfast nook (this gorgeous copper table), we're out of $$ for now (spent it all on the backsplash!!). I finally just got the window coverings, so perhaps it's time!

I had my main powder bath cabient made in BW. My cabinet maker stained a little darker than I wanted but this gives you an idea.
