When our photography crew travels to shoot installed Crown Point kitchens, we often encounter family pets who are quite curious about us and our equipment.  This inspired us to create this segment of our blog called “Crown Point Critters.”

Today’s Critters are 12-year-old lab, Sophie, and 6-year-old Schipperke, Jodie.  Here, they’re relaxing in their favorite spot-right in the middle of their Crown Point Kitchen!

“Given the proximity of food, the kitchen is their favorite room in the house,”  the homeowner says.  “We contemplated putting in an island, but the dogs vetoed that idea.  They wanted a full view of everything happening.”

Do you have a Crown Point Critter?  Send a photo of your pet posing with your Crown Point Cabinetry.  We just might feature your furry (or scaley, or feathery) friend on the blog!

Crown Point President Brian Stowell showcases a very popular custom pantry, hand-painted in Farrow & Ball’s Pitch Black. With ten drawers, sliding doors and a sideboard cabinet made from antique heart pine, this pantry is a big hit with everyone who visits our facility.  Take a look!

Sea Green Base Cabinet with Saw-tooth Detail!

This section of Wood Shavings invites you to see newly completed cabinetry before it leaves our cabinet shop! Each month we feature a snapshot of an interesting piece and share the details of its design.

Saw-tooth adjustable shelf supports add character to this period style base cabinet

Traditional saw-tooth adjustable shelf supports are the unsung heroes of this handsome base cabinet. These brackets provide excellent shelf stability, allow for flexibile storage options and add period style charm. A Knotty Pine beadboard back creates a nice contrast against the distressed Sea Green finish, completing the look.

• Wood: Clear PIne/Knotty Pine
• Series: Beaded Inset
• Sea Green/Burnt Umber with Van Dyke glaze
