From the Shop Floor #4

Gray painted Shaker cabinets, in process.

Sometimes, when I'm walking through the shop I see something interesting and I snap a few photos. Painted cabinets have always been popular, but what I think drives the popularity now for factory finished painted cabinets is the ability to get a mirror like finish on the product. The flawless factory finish combined with the organic feel of paint on wood strikes a perfect balance of a wood product that you would want to use every day.

I'm really pleased with our painted cabinet. We have a great partnership with CalDoor and our painting/finish professional is top-notch. Another kitchen I am anxious to see in real life. Custom cabinetry for living.

Gray Painted Racked

We use Hafele racking for our painted doors. Allows them to dry evenly and to be moved without damaging the finish.

Gray Painted Up Close

Up close view of the Shaker doors. We typically use an MDF panel when it is painted to avoid movement in the final product - solid wood panels shift and can cause cracking at the joints.

Kind of a bland picture, trying to capture the mirror like quality.
