Slab doors could be very appropriate to the house. Shaker is on the wane. Be careful you don’t jump on a sinking ship. Of remuddle something hat doesn’t need to be updated. Updating is a dirty word.

If shaker is on the wane, what is hot? I think Shaker cabinets are timeless with their clean lines.

Shaker will always be popular because of its clean lines.

White or oak slab cabinets from the 1980's were said to be timeless with their clean lines. Now they make people barf. :)

It's true that Shaker will always be around, as it has always been around, but it has been so ubiquitous for the last dozen years it's going to look tired and dated for awhile before it looks interesting and appropriate again.

If you just love the look and have always wanted shaker cabinets, then you can do it, but if you really want an "updated" look, refinishing the plywood to make it look fresh and clean will do you better.

I'm not interested in updated looks. I know what I like when I see it. Thanks
