Two Tone Dove White/Raccoon Fur ....Striking Contrast !

















Previous kitchen was pickled pink oak, an 80's
theme that has gone the way of the dinosaurs!

Client chose a striking contrast to highlight veining
in carrera marble countertop.

Colours: OC-17 Dove White/ 2126-20 Raccoon Fur (Ben Moore)

Also installed 4 1/2" MDF kickplates custom sprayed and angle
mitred on bases, something you don't normally see in a builder
kitchen (they give you those flimsy 1/4" veneers).

Notice the sleek induction stove on counter - does away with a bulky
range and you get the added bonus of 3 storage drawers below in
a standard 36" wide base cupboard.

Great thanks to the Murphy's, enjoy a night out on us at the Keg !

Sage Vanity














Sage is a hot colour for 2016-7.

Custom sage vanity for client, MDF spray finished
doors and 3 vanity deep Accuride Richelieu glide
drawers with custom Amerock hardware.

Client got a quote for 1600.00 from Lowe's
We took the project away from them for
$850.00 installed and spray finished !

Notice the large glass shower enclosures,
very modern with tile and great lighting.
Get rid of that dingy bathroom...

Custom Vanities Half the Price of Home Depot or Lowes





Custom vanities can be made by us in our
Burlington shop for half the price of Home Depot/Lowes
and built in solid maple, no customs fees, no chipboard
and stained or painted in your choice of finish.
The one above is a Cherry/Chestnut blended finish
topcoated with Akvaline 212-40 waterbased lacquer.

Add some nifty hardware and save $$$

This one we made was less than 380.00 complete
(same model at Depot they wanted 766.00 plus
8 weeks to deliver and 149.00 in U.S. customs declaration).

Stay local for cabinetry folks, the customs fees to import
are ridiculous, plus the US exchange is not good at the
time of this project (.71c).

Current Project: Strip and Refinish 80's Pickled Oak

We are currently assisting a client with removal
of pickled oak finish from the late 1980's and
refinishing with our KCMA approved lacquer
from Sherwin-Williams. Kitchen is large
at 45+ doors and drawers. It is rare to see
this kind of quality White Oak species in
raised panel and we are fortunate to be
given this project. It takes one or two
of us approximately 45 min to 1 hour
of labour per door after orbital profiling,
Irwin rake chisel tooling of profiles and
final vacuum sanding with 11hp extraction.
We then do a final alcohol cleaning with
Methyl Hydrate to ensure that no residues
interfere with priming and finishing.

For those of you die hard clear coat finish fans
this finish is beginning to tack and fail and is not
as bombproof as you think, its at the point where
all the kitchen residues are beginning to stick to
doors and frames because it has finally decayed
from UV exposure.

Pics to follow once complete.
























Great thanks to the Murphy's for the project !

Fieldstone Face Frame Refaced Kitchen/ Bench Storage Cabinetry

Two unique projects we completed in June...

Face framing (old school technique) with
inset Shaker 2.25 stile maple cabinetry...
the complexity is far greater than simple
frameless Euro cabinetry, and its a lot
more fun and visually interesting to look at !
We don't find frameless cabinetry that hard
to build, just really boring..snoooooze........
let the builders install that junk if they want.
I prefer the challenge of using my Microgauge
and building a .0001 tolerance face frame with
Kreg Pocket Screw joinery and wood glue
in an old school technique that actually requires
some woodworking skills, anyone can dial in
an e-cabinet file and watch a CNC pre cut
bored holes on a Thermwood CS-43.

I always thought if you are turning a kitchen
in 1 week with MDF doors and frameless
boxes it's not going to last very long or
fetch much in value. Ever see a Barzotti
Kitchen ? Great quality and refinish friendly
20 years down the road if you get tired of
the look.

Broan hood installed by ColorScapes and
inspected by White Oak Electric.(Call Ted
VanVeen he is an amazing electrician).

Counter Tops by We are Tops Burlington.















1558 Fieldstone Finish shot in MLC Polystar WB lacquer.
Doors 2.15 stile Simple Shaker square profile with
standard Hardiboard panel inserts from Columbia.

Here's one we wrapped early this week,
cabinetry for a mudroom and laundry room.

Colour: OC-17 Dove White

Hardware by Amerock (RONA)

















Great thanks to the Morrier family.

Custom Recessed Built- Ins


















Custom Built-In Bookshelves/Media Mantle Project
by ColorScapes Cabinetry/Black Cat Woodworking

Client gave us a blank canvas in terms of wall
depth and width, this is what we can do with
decent turnaround times. All recessed built in
shelving built and spray finished on site after
transporting and fitting base cabinetry built ins.


$900.00 per side, doors are solid MDF finished
in Target EM6500 production lacquer. Solid one
piece doors cut on a Biesse 24C Rover with
Colonial Ogee Autospindle Bit Diamond Series PCD40
(client paid for custom bit from Royce Tool 565.00)

Profiles are an exact match to kitchen cabinetry !
Yes, our rover is back working again after a 62 day
alignment problem with gantry.

Hardware by Hickory (Lowe's)

Coffered Ceiling built by Pat Daniels of Black Cat
Woodworking Thorold,ONT.

Our built-in price was 45% less than the closest
competitor bidding project.! Our turnaround
time was also faster at 10 days versus 7 weeks
from the competitor.
