Start With How You Cook
A beautiful kitchen that works poorly will frustrate you daily. Plan around how you cook, where people gather, and what you need to store before choosing finishes.
Proportions Make the Room
Island size, aisle widths, and cabinet heights should suit the room and the people using it. An island that is too large crowds the space; one that is too small looks like an afterthought.
The Details That Read as Custom
Panels scribed tight to uneven walls, crown and base trim that tie cabinets into the room, and finished end panels on islands are what separate a custom look from an off the shelf one. John fits these details by hand.
Refacing as an Option
If your cabinet boxes are sound, refacing with new doors, face frames, and trim can deliver a fresh look on a smaller budget.
