Finishing Now Available with 26 Different Options.
We recently discontinued some of our less popular finishes. All kitchen cabinets, bookcases, and furniture are now available unfinished or in a choice of 14 stain colors, 9 paint colors, and 3 specialty finishes with a glaze, and a Natural clearcoat varnish. The specialty finishes are made as follows:
- Caramel = Candlelight stain plus a Brown glaze
- Merlot = Black Cherry stain plus a Black glaze
- Hazelnut = Antique White paint plus a Brown glaze
We use the Becker Acroma Finishing System (www.becker-acroma.com), which is a high-quality, durable, and environmentally friendly set of professional-grade products. After the stain, paint and/or glaze is applied, we use a high-solid, non-yellowing, catalyzed conversion varnish that emits very low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). The conversion varnish high-build properties produce a durable, chemical-resistant finish.
Pine bookcases are not available in painted finishes since there is a chance the knots will show through. Maple is usually the best choice of wood for painting since it has the least amount of grain. Please note that the bottom "toe kick" area of kitchen and vanity cabinets are not made of stain-grade material. For the best appearance, please order matching "toe kick" material or base moulding that is no more than 4"H (the toe kick area is 4"H x 3"D).
To get a sample of the finish colors, please visit our sample request page and see below for the color choices.
As Seen on Home and Garden TV (HGTV)
Our Maple, raised-panel cabinets were recently used on the HGTV show "Spice Up My Kitchen" Episode 210. They were finished with a blue-gray paint color and custom door panels were used to attach to the front of the appliances. The panels on the refrigerator were custom built by the carpenters on the show so that they would fit around the water and ice dispensers. For more details click here to go to the HGTV show page. It really isn't that hard to do yourself, but if you want something spectacular, see below for an example of faux finishing.
