This kitchen looks much more finished, now that the granite counters are on. The homeowner chose polished brass knobs and bin pulls and they do go well with the natural cherry wood. Cherry ages over time due to sun exposure and mellows to a rich tone. A few of the high-end details in this room include: dovetailed hardwood drawers on soft-close self-closing under mount slides, a trash and recycling pullout, pantry pullout trays, a wood paneled dishwasher, and a furniture style case piece with raised panels and glass doors .

Painted glazed cabinets



After three days in the finishing studio and seven weeks of building, assembling and sanding, I can finally say that the 5 coat finish is done. Two coats Magnamax tinted woodwitch primer, a brown glaze hand applied and finally two coats of Duravar catalytic dull sheen clear coat. All products used were from M.L. Campbell supplied by Russell Plywood. It is a labor intensive finish especially when you do an entire kitchen at once. The cabinets were masked to preserve the finished maple plywood interiors. Everything looks great and install should go very well next week. All that is left now is to install all of the hardware pack it up and head to northern New Jersey.

Just a Glimspe

…of this lovely new home in Plains, PA. The kitchen is Maple stained Cherry, with a large island and a Hoosier-style baking center. The house features walnut bathroom cabinets and a walnut bedroom set made by the Springhouse Woodshop as well as other built-ins. More photos to come!

Cherry Kitchen with Maple Counters

This is a natural cherry kitchen where we also installed hard maple counters. This was a kitchen that the Springhouse Woodshop designed to fit around the unusual shaped room. The large upper cabinets on the stove wall are actually full depth (24″) to utilize the depth on either side of the stone fireplace which is in the living room on the other side of the wall. Lots of prep area in this kitchen as well as a bar counter for seating or a serving buffet.
