LANZ CABINETS

This article had some great information about how to choose cabinetry for any project. As a Pacific Northwest fully custom cabinet shop, I think this article highlights some very important choices to create the desired look and style for cabinets. I would also add, however, the importance of cabinet overlay construction. Whether it is a face frame construction (traditional, full overlay, or flush inset) or a European frameless construction; the construction method goes a long way in setting the tone for your cabinets.

This is some really helpful information for anyone looking to renovate their kitchen. I never thought about how many different aspects there are to think about when it came to kitchen cabinets. Between styles, colors, finishes, pulls and handles, and molding, there is an awful lot that should go into the decision. But organizing your thoughts into simple categories like this is one of the best ways to make sure the final product is one you love. Thanks so much for writing!

As I sit and watch yet another cooking show, I look behind the cook and see yet another kitchen in shaker style.

Its the go-to choice for homeowners these day. A classic that will never go out of style and lasts forever. A safe bet, if you will.

Once you jump off the fence and take that leap, you really don't want to choose a style that is trendy -- stick with what you like too.

Shaker style is synonymous with classic goes with most colors and materials. cherry, white, maple, gray, black, distressed, you name it. It always works! We've designed this kitchen to it's area--New England. Over 100 years old, the home already has a rich and classic style, it was a the kitchen they always envisioned and now it's a reality.

The island is ideal and the space handles many cooks. It also has the 'work triangle' that makes it super functional. The lighting placed strategically for prep areas by the 2 'cooks of the house'. Ideal for dinner parties and holiday gatherings too. Guests can simply walk up and socialize with the cook or join in the prep work and have a glass of wine while nibbling on appetizers.

Make your kitchen that 'classic beauty' that you've always dreamed of and the decision to remodel your kitchen will be less daunting. Come on, you've been dreaming all these years, you know you love Shaker! Go for it!
