Wood
Cherry and Maple have been running neck and neck as the most popular choice of wood for cabinets, followed by Oak. With the recent concern about renewable resources, Beech was introduced as a viable alternative and is quickly gaining momentum and popularity. Known as the chameleon wood species it has the ability to be stained to look like its' more expensive alternatives. With Beech's availability and sustainability, expect to see it surpass Cherry and Maple in popularity. All of these are classified as "hard woods" and have beautiful, unique wood grains that are characteristic to their species. Staining the cabinets with a light color, or no stain with a lacquer finish, will expose the inherent beauty of the natural wood.

 | Clear, colored, frosted, ribbed or leaded glass can be added to door fronts to create an elegant look or to showcase decorative pieces. Use them sparingly on selected door fronts to focus attention to your fine crystal collection, or use them throughout the kitchen for an open and airy look. |
