The original kitchen was 14 years old with standard flat panel oak cabinets, white laminate countertops, and an over-mount sink. The layout of the kitchen remained the same. The only additional change was a new built-in buffet with wall-mounted hutch where a butler's rack had stood before.
The homeowners chose a Classic II Raised Panel door style in Natural Maple with a brown glaze. Beaded crown moulding was applied to the tops, and decorative raised panels were added to the exposed ends, replacing the faded veneer of the original. Baltic Brown granite was selected for the countertops with a new under-mount sink. The old drawer boxes were also replaced with new solid hardwood boxes, including new under-mount Blum-Motion slides.
