Wood Kitchen cabinet Choosing ideas

If you’ve chosen wood cabinets, you’ll need to decide between leaving your wood in its natural state, which means to simply apply a clear varnish; staining it, which will add color, but still allow the grain of the wood to show through; and painting it, which adds opaque color and obscures the grain.
Select the wood you want and desired finish. Maple, oak and cherry are favorite hardwoods. Signs of quality cabinets are grain that matches from piece to piece and furniture-quality finishes.

If you’ve chosen wood cabinets, you have still another batch of choices to sift through. You have to choose which wood you want.
Alder is a wood that has just recently come into favor as cabinet material. It has very little grain, is very pale, and accepts stains easily, so it can be colored any shade you’d like.

Birch is the least-expensive option in cabinet materials, and it’s the material most commonly used in stock cabinets. It’s usually quite pale, but may vary in porosity, so if you stain it, you may not get color quite as uniform as you’d like.
Cherry wood has been used in upscale kitchens for decades. It has a very smooth, uniform grain and looks very elegant. It can be stained many shades, but the most common is a deep brown-red.
Ebony is a very dark, almost black, wood with a noticeable black grain. It can make your kitchen feel very exotic, but it is quite expensive.
Hickory is another option. It’s a very hard wood that holds up well. It has a pronounced straight grain and is most at home in country kitchens.
Maple is the number one choice for kitchen cabinets presently. It has a smooth, fine grain that accepts color well, so it can blend right in with your kitchen, no matter what the style.
Mahogany is gaining in popularity as a cabinet material choice. It’s very dark, with a straight grain, so it fits in best with formal kitchens.
Oak has traditionally been the most popular choice for kitchen cabinetry and it’s easy to see why. It has a coarse texture that can be made more pronounced with a dark stain, or lessened with a lighter stain. It’s very durable and doesn’t expand with humidity as much as other woods.
Pine is a fairly inexpensive choice for cabinets. It is light-colored and accepts stain well. It has a definite grain, possibly even with a few knots to give it character, so it’s best suited to less formal kitchens.
The final choice in kitchen cabinetry wood is walnut. Walnut is very dark, although not as dark as ebony. It has an open grain, which means the texture that occurs naturally in the wood is very apparent. Walnut is usually more expensive and can only be obtained through custom cabinet makers.

Tips For Buying Kitchen Storage Cabinets

admin — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 03:20:41 +0000

Before you start to build more storage space into your kitchen, you will need to know what needs to be stored. In a kitchen a storage cabinet can be used to hold serving platters, seldom used baking or cooking items or heirloom kitchen items that have been passed down to you.

If you need to add some space for pots and pans, dishes and glassware, trays and serving bowls, spices or packaged foods, you will need to measure the items you will be storing so you know how large your storage units should be.

Decide how much you can afford. Prioritize your wish list. Be prepared to match it with your budget. Price cheaper varieties of cabinet-grade wood. Give your measurements to a store employee who can give you an idea of the cost of your project.

Create a list of the supplies you will need. Shop more than one store to find the lowest possible prices. Keep all receipts so you can return unused or unopened products. then you will have a great value and quality at a super price.

Look in magazines and stores to find what look you like. Stock cabinets come in a limited number of styles, whereas semi-custom and custom cabinets offer more choices. you also can visit kitchen cabinet retailers for inspiration. Take home free pamphlets and brochures. Find free building plans in home improvement stores or online.

You can choose from a dozen or more door styles and several different pulls and accessories. Goods are sold on a cash-and-carry basis, knocked down in flat boxes. You can assemble and mount them yourself to save money or you can arrange for delivery and installation with a contractor.

Metal, self-closing drawer glides roll more smoothly than standard glides, buy they aren’t necessary. As long as standard glides are rated to hold 75 lbs., they should give you many years of problem-free use.

Choose your wood carefully. Avoid pieces that are warped or damaged. If you need smaller pieces check for discounted pieces already cut. You can save a considerable amount of money shopping the bargain bin.
