Cabinet Drawings

A few posts ago I mentioned that Tony and Donna Gutowski of Gutowski cabinets had come up on a Saturday to layout and get measurements to start the process of building the cabinets for the house.

These drawings are of the kitchen area and pantry

Late last week we received the drawings for the cabinets. Shortly after they had taken the measurements we did some re-thinking on the style we wanted. We had originally considered going with a raised panel door and using knotty Alder wood.

These pictures are of the upstairs office, which will be apart of the loft area. The next picture is of a hutch that will be seen as you enter the front door of the house.

After doing some research we started looking more towards the Craftsman style or also know as the shaker style cabinet. Our thinking here is that the straight lines would blend well with all of the straight lines and square timbers of the timber frame. Also traditionally the shaker style cabinets are constructed of oak, which is the type of wood that the timber frame is made of. Our only concern that it may just be to much oak. One answer that we are considering is to possibly get some contrast with the stain we end up choosing.

These drawings are of laundry room and the small powder room right off of the kitchen area.

Our current plans are to visit a show room that Tony and Donna currently have under construction in Prescott, AZ this Saturday, where they have used the Shaker style cabinet in their show room kitchen.
