You will love those cabinets, I swear you will-

It is rustic style-and I love it-those are the same cabinets I have in my kitchen-except mine are knotty pine, and the pulls/handles are the rustic black wrought iron type. I first saw the style at Home Depot, too but the cabinet maker was able to make the same thing for less, with no loss of quality-but here, every other guy is either a welder who makes fences and ornamental stuff, or makes cabinets and furniture-even MrT5 did-so custom cabinets and stuff like that are very reasonable because it is a cottage industry.

I’m wanting to have the same cabinets made again for my nest. My counters are tile here, but I’ll decide on counter tops for the nest further down the road-it will be either granite solid surface I buy, or tile mosaic that I do myself, which is a very appealing idea, if time consuming.

I like those cabinets so much that I had the same ones made for the master bath here, too, with glass pulls, and a marble solid surface top with double shell sinks, but I may do something different there this next time...

Where are you planning to move to? I know you like having the solitude of your walks in the woods.

i do love those cabinets! they are downstairs and have the wrought iron pulls. i want a wrought iron chandelier to go over the kitchen table to match it too. I have a ceramic tile backsplash downstairs that i designed and he installed for me and Mr B raves about it all the time, he said he has copied it for other customers because he likes it so much. I will probably do something similar again. Custom here would be entirely high end! it’s so funny, bc i feel i am going the cheap route with off the rack and you say custom is cheaper there. we don’t have many guys like that up here!
