Black Bean Island and Accent Cabinetry



Beaded Shaker Island done in
SW6006 Black Bean. Accent cabinetry
Also in Black Bean to jazz the kitchen
up a bit. Our first order from the state of Michigan.!

Island built and shop finished and assembled on site. No more rickety truck
deliveries to knock hardware alignments
out of true. All drawers metal box from Richelieu with rs2832 Accuride 16" glides.

We even had time to hang out at
Lake Macatawa. Dutch frites and Stroopwaffle anyone!!! ?

So glad we are not babysitting a retail cabinet gallery, frees us up to travel and work. ! Best of both worlds if u ask us.

Richelieu Accuride Glides and Soft Close Promotion til Dec 20, 2016

For those of you considering hardware
upgrades over your existing builder
hardware cabinets, Richelieu is running
a 20% off fall promotion.

Must be a cabinet maker or kitchen
refinisher to buy Direct...

Contact us..we can help modernize that
kitchen.


Bottom Base Project
















Standard 30",24",15"and Corner Bases and Simple Shaker Maple
1/4" reveal Lexington Cabinetry.

We helped a builder out of a jam with
5 day turnaround on this one...! Previous suppliers' CNC
gantry fell out of alignment due to forklift accident and
could not meet the staging deadline.  Here's where we
shine...fast service, fast install, excellent finishing work...

Get too big too fast as a company and everything gets slowwwww...
everything gets debated and overanalyzed..paralysis by overanalysis.

Ask anyone whose used us to do their kitchen, we install flawlessly
and fast. I once hung 64 cabinet doors and drawers in under 37 minutes while
on the phone with another customer.

Great thanks to the folks at Pidel Homes in
Guelph.

More Dove White !

Everyone's Entitled to their Own Opinion...Here's Mine !

The advantages of waterborne lacquers:


  • Fast dry and stack
  • Greenguard and GS 11 Approved 
  • Low voc's
  • Non yellowing
  • KCMA 5+ rating 
  • SCAQMD rated
  • Thousands of colours
  • No catalysts or sensitizer catalysts required
  • Easy for homeowner to touch up in the event of scuff

  • Solvented lacquers on the other hand:


  • Flammable vapour
  • Requires NFPA33 and OSHA certified booth ( great for the booth guys)
  • Carcinogenic profile is documented
  • Is anyone actually still spraying nitrocellulose lacquer ???



Hmmm....which one to pick.....at the end of the day your
cabinet doors are just decorative pieces of wood hiding foodstuffs
and keeping your kitchen looking neat. Let's not go
overboard, we heard some guy is trying to put epoxy
on doors....OVERKILL OVERKILL OVERKILL.....!!!
do you not realize there could be small children
and pets in the home ? Get a grip. That stuff is not
meant for cabinetry and is illegal to apply in a non
ventilated work area...

Go Greenstar....

Katilac Coatings...Aquavar 50 Sheen.
