You guys were so helpful last week, we decided we love cream painted cabinets, no glaze, shaker style.....dresse d up with beautiful granite and hardware!!! Thanks!!!

Now my current delimma...got a quote from a high end kitchen design studio, totally custom maple cabs, painted...$24k Just for the cabs!!!(this is not a bog space!!!). Brought the plan to contractor #2 to price compare....he's also custom, but not full wood construction.....laminate boxes, full wood drawers, recommends poplar instead of maple for painting.....I'm a bit concerned! But #2, would probably be a better overall choice fo trades work, as we are demoing several walls and red ing the fireplace...he's a higher end custom home builder.

I am current shopping this plan around for quotes in stock cabs from dynasty/omega and decora.....

Any thoughts? If the stock prices are significantly cheaper, I am inclined to go with #2, as a contractor and have him install the stock cabs???

So, any advice or help is appreciated!!
