To offset the cost I went with a shaker style door (less expensive than raised panel). The flush/inset cabinetry does really make my kitchen feel complete. <br /><br />I work as a designer at a custom cabinetry shop, so the employee discount didn't hurt either :) <br /><br />Good luck kitchen planning!

When we did our kitchen we couldn't afford the custom cabinets we wanted either, so we did a mix of painted big-box cabinets with unique hardware found online, antique pieces for an island and a buffet, and a little handmade spice cabinet that's painted a different color than the rest of the cabinets. I love the personal feel of it all. You will not regret the unfitted look.

When your readers are done looking at that blog, they just close the window and your blog is still open where they left off -- no hitting the back button, or worse yet, losing visitors altogether.

This is all very low-cost. The first thing we did was tear out the 1950s cabinets, and strip off the layers of flooring. Up went the beadboard wainscoting, to match the original still in the bathroom. Then we put in a long butcher-block counter made from recycled bowling alley flooring. (Too good, huh?) The island is my grandfather's workbench, and the main cabinet in the room is an antique pie safe. All very workable, very "green," and pretty.

Luckily they went the simple route, if I see one more ugly granite counter I'll run for the hills, which made our old farmhouse table fit right in as an island, eating, chopping, all purpose piece.
