Here's a sneak peek at some of our cabinetry you can see there!

Just a reminder for those of you in the NYC area this weekend: The Architectural Digest Home Design Show started yesterday, and was open just to those in the trade. Today and through Sunday the 21st, all are invited! You can see our cabinetry on display; stop by and introduce yourself!

Note the difference between the panel treatment on the refrigerator versus the dishwasher and trash compactor.

“My refrigerator will have matching panels applied to its face because I prefer the built-in look. Are they going to stick out?”

The short answer is “Probably”. Almost all refrigerator manufacturers, save one we know of, do not create allowances for a refrigerator to be completely recessed to the point of being installed flush with the adjacent face frame. It needs to sit proud of it so that the door can swing open. And it’s possible, depending upon the fridge, that it may project 2 1/2″ out!

Our tip is this: Do your appliance homework! Go and talk to your appliance dealer, and get them to show you exactly how far out your refrigerator will stick out.

Oh, and this is not a recommendation, just an observation: Sub-Zero not too long ago introduced a true flush-fit refrigerator, their BI (Built In) series. Google away…

Clear your schedule and get your Tivos ready!  Crown Point Cabinetry is going to be featured for a second time on the This Old House Hour, this coming Saturday!

Episode six of the Emmy Award winning series will feature Crown Point Cabinetry designer Tamara Raymond, as she discusses the kitchen design of the Newton Centre Project.  Our cabinetmakers are building custom white Farrow & Ball painted cabinetry for the 1915 Dutch Colonial Revival home in Newton Centre, Massachusetts.

This is not the first time Crown Point has been featured on This Old House.  Last year, Norm Abram and his film crew visited the Claremont facility to take a look at cabinetry being built for the Weston, Massachusetts house.   Norm’s shop tour was featured on This Old House shortly thereafter.

New Hampshire Public Television will air episode six on Saturday, November 14 at 4:00 pm, and again on Sunday, November 15 at 1:00pm.  Check your local listings for date and time in your area.

Future episodes airing at a later date will show the actual installation of the Crown Point Cabinetry, as well as the finished kitchen.  As always, we’ll keep you posted!

American Bungalow Magazine recently highlighted a Cherry Craftsman style Crown Point kitchen in their “New and Noteworthy” section!

Located on the water in East Otis, MA, the featured kitchen is a bright, open Craftsman design with authentic details from our Arts & Crafts Designer Series.

What makes this kitchen noteworthy, is that the cabinetry is crafted from Cherry, rather than your usual Quartersawn Oak used in most Craftsman designs.  Here, the warmth of cherry creates a wonderfully warm and inviting place to cook, gather, and simply relax!
