Sneak Peek: Wood and Steel!

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

We’re taking a sneak peek today at this handsome tall cabinet out of Maple and finished with our clear Natural sealer and topcoat. Constructed from our Limited Line, this frameless cabinet features shelving behind the upper doors, a stainless steel tambour, and four drawers below; the two upper drawers clad in felt. The doors, drawer fronts and end panels are all made “open-face”, which means there are no visible plywood seams in any of the faces.

More images of this cabinet can be seen when it is added to our “From the Cabinetmaker’s Bench” section on Monday. Like this contemporary style? Contact one of our top-notch designers today and get started on your own dream kitchen!

The Transitional Kitchen: Blending the Old with the New

Crown Point Cabinetry has long been known as the premier custom cabinetmaker for period style kitchens.  More recently, we’ve delved into the world of frameless cabinetry for our clients looking for a clean, contemporary look.  But what about those who want a touch of vintage style, and also long for a modern feel?

The answer is Crown Point’s Transitional line; a beautiful blending of both vintage and contemporary elements to create the perfect look for any style home.

Fred Puksta, the Product Designer here at Crown Point, spearheaded the development of this line, even using his own kitchen as the prototype (the resulting masterpiece is pictured above).

“We wanted to introduce a totally customizable line that allowed for the modular substitution of design components to create a kitchen unique to the individual,” said Fred of the new line.  “It would be contemporary frameless construction with the option of adding vintage details such as valances, doors and feet, influenced by Victorian, Cottage, Arts & Crafts, Shaker and Early American styles.”

After months of designing, installing, uninstalling, redesigning and final installation, the Transitional Line was born!  For more details, and to check out our offerings in this line, visit our New Transitional page!

Fred was recently interviewed on this subject for a story on HGTV.com.  His tips and tricks to achieving the look can be found in “Guide to Creating a Transitional Kitchen.”

Because we love before pictures, below is a shot of Fred’s kitchen before it was revamped!  Wow!
