Kitchen design: the basics

By David Wright | February 16, 2021

The back of a cabinet can tell you a lot

By David Wright | February 8, 2021

The back of this cabinet shows us the thickness of the box material – .75″ white melamine (aka industrial grade particle board), as well as the .5″ nailers and the cabinet back. The box can also be made of .75″ Russian plywood where the preference is for a wood interior instead of white.

Euro-style cabinets, hinges and full overlay doors

By David Wright | February 8, 2021

European style cabinets don’t have face frames. This clean, efficient look is standard in commercial and modern residential settings. We use Blum hinges with .75″ thick doors with a full overlay (meaning the doors cover the edge of the cabinet box). A small reveal (meaning the box is visibly wider than the doors and drawers)…

How do the toe kicks work?

By David Wright | January 21, 2021

One of the tricky parts of installing cabinets is getting them level. To simplify this process, we use adjustable leg levelers with a “snap on” toe kick cover. The cover snaps onto the leg levelers once you have them set just right. To turn this feature on, go to “Room” settings (left nav > 3D…
