Can one be green-conscious and remodel their kitchen? I like to think so. My big ole kitchen is in dire need of a facelift and I decided to start with cabinet doors. Now, I could have opted to spend a fortune and completely redo the existing cabinets, but, why, when I can get a new look and feel by simply refacing the cabinets with new matching doors?
My existing cabinets were created with solid ash throughout. From the bases to the inside shelving, all ash, and all custom work. It seemed a shame to waste all that precious wood. A compromise was just replacing the existing doors with new ones.
We located a local woodshop, Hardwood Innovations that specializes in cabinet doors. They arrived armed with a notepad and a measuring tape and a brochure of all the styles available. We chose a simple but timeless classic design and ordered all the doors made out of ash to match the existing wood in the kitchen. I’ve a big kitchen and I need a total of twenty-three doors! That’s a lot of doors!
My husband visited the shop to see the work in progress. It’s an amazing place. Busy as elves before the holiday!
