Floor to Ceiling Shaker Cabinetry and Refinish





















Colour: SW7004 Snowbound White
from Sherwin Williams

Maple Shaker Cabinetry with
dual wall oven design.
Wall oven openings standard
20" upper height and 28" lower
in a standard wide 30" cabinet
built to take the weight load
(KCMA rating of 600lbs required).
Double doweled and reinforced
with Simpson strong ties.

A new trend has developed where
clients want cabinetry to stretch
to the ceiling for additional
storage space. Easy fix, we pulled
all the existing uppers down and
built taller boxes and placed new
shaker mid-rail cabinet doors up !
It's a nice look as now the crown
mould can be placed on the ceiling.

Great thanks to Allan and June
for the project !

Another Dove White with Crown Mould and Valance Additions




































































Recent refinish of a kitchen that was formerly
done in a cinnamon fruitwood 90's stain.

Transformation done in Katilac's Greenstar
approved Dove White in 50 Sheen with
Aquavar tannin blocking primer as basecoat
in a 4 coat KCMA approved finish.

Also added some custom valances
and engineered a rear island door
access point to get at areas in the
island that were not reachable before
- added storage bonus !


  • Hinges by Blum - short profile 90 angle
  • Keepers and Strong Ties by Simpson
  • for all Valance Work
  • Crown Mould Suspended with custom
  • blocking and compression nailed above cabinets.

Goodbye 80's -90's Fruitwood Look !
(the varnish was beginning to dull and fade)


Great thanks to Karen and Anthony
Enjoy a night at the Keg on us !


Steel Drawer Box Upgrades...Well Worth it !














Have an old particle board rabbeted cabinet
drawer box problem ?

The best upgrades are from Richelieu, Samet
and Blum. No more racking and screws splitting
cheap rabbeted fits and glue ups.
