Information on Cabinetry
Door styles range from flat to raised to curved and may be plain and
simple or intricately carved. In more traditional kitchens, you’ll
find inset and lipped doors, while partial overlay and full overlay
provide the clean lines associated with more contemporary designs.
Karlson Kitchens suggests pulls and knobs to further personalize
your kitchen. A Shaker style door in cherry can go from traditional
with a brass knob to contemporary with a nickel pole.
Maple has eclipsed oak as the most popular wood for cabinet doors.
Cherry comes in third, followed by hickory and pine. Light stains
will let the natural beauty of the wood show through.
Wood-Mode Cabinetry
 |
For over 50 years Wood-Mode has been providing discerning homeowners with the finest custom cabinetry available. The high standards of the cabinetry are obvious as Wood-Mode includes a lifetime limited warranty. In fact, Wood-Mode craftspeople perform a painstaking hand-rubbing process on each cabinet, a unique procedure for sure. Gloss, matte, opaque or custom finishes are available. Discontinued finishes can be reproduced even decades later, so that no color or finish ever becomes obsolete. |
Brookhaven Cabinetry
 |
This semi-custom cabinetry line is built by Pennsylvania based cabinet manufacturer Wood-Mode. Cabinet sides are extra thick for added durability, and then joined with the strongest bond possible…just like the fine furniture in your home! Adjustable shelves, deep-penetrating finishes, optional mullion doors and drawer bottoms laminated on both sides with odorless, easy-to-clean vinyl in a matching maple grain, make one wonder if this semi-custom line is really
custom |
Studio Becker
 |
Contemporary or traditional, Studio Becker custom cabinetry offers the discriminating homeowner over 200 choices in door styles! Self described as “Avant Garde,” California-based
Studio Becker offers options such as broom closets and pantry cabinets. German engineering and full extension drawers are industry setting standards offered by the cabinet manufacturer. |

Appliance Lines Found at Karlson Kitchens
 |
Before you purchase new appliances, you’ll need to
decide if you want to have them built into the cabinetry. If
you have a built-in refrigerator for example, you won’t be
able tell at first glance that it’s in the room. Its doors
will look just like those of your cabinets and it will lie
flush with the cabinets rather than sticking out.

Countertops
 |
When it comes to your
countertop choices, you can achieve the best
of all worlds by carving out space for a mix
of surfacing materials—a granite island for
serving, a maple butcher-block square for
cutting, solid-surface tops for heavy
food-preparation tasks, and tile for a
backsplash accent. |
|
Sinks, Faucets and Toilets
 |
Plumbing fixtures are certainly the crowing jewels of any room. When it comes to your sinks and faucets it is important to consider your daily tasks. Do you want to fill tall pots from your faucet? Will you add a water filter? Do you want one sink or two, and how deep should they be? |
