Preview of this kitchen remodel in homeland neighborhood of Baltimore. An update and opening up of a 1960's style Kitchen with metal cabinets and Lime green wallpaper and separate Dining Room covered in patterned wallpaper. We went back with some rustic wood cabinets to tie the houses heritage into the more transitional looking white shaker cabinet. We utilized KraftMaid Cabinetry's inset look installing columns between every cabinet that are set 15/16" past the cabinet face frame to bring flush with the full overlay doors. This method gave us the look we wanted without the down sides that come with inset door cabinets.
