Yes, that's a nice looking kitchen, I love the cabinets. Maybe I'll do something like that in my house.

Self-closing and expensive... that's most likely the under mount drawer slides, they are the most expensive kind with the self-closing feature. Or they could be the side mount slide, which is a little cheaper. Thanks for the speedy reply!

Thanks! I can't remember the make of the slide. I can tell you that they were expensive and have that self-closing feature. Once the drawer gets close to the frame, it pulls tight on it's own.

Hi Tim, your kitchen looks great! I've been a cabinet maker and installer for 5 years, and who ever did your kitchen are pros. Its the little things you notice after you've done it for a while like the mitres on the furniture kick on the island, crown and valance. The gap between doors and drawers are even, and the colour is consistent throughout. Cherry is great to work with, soft and great to stain, although it does darken with age. I'm just curious about what kind of drawer slide you chose.

Thanks. Those are cherry cabinets. Maple is great, but be sure to do a test on several boards to see if you can get it to the color you want. Stain them and finish completely.

Oh man, I hope that my kitchen could look as good as your one day.I loved what you did with it, what kind of wood was that? Cause I'm thinking of going with Maple wood and staining it cherry. I hear Maple wood looks great with a cherry stain, as long as it is done right.Take care, Greg

You can get graining kits that allow you to mimic stained wood. Go to a national-brand paint store, not a home center. Although you may discover the kit at a home center.

I love the color of the cabinets. Could their be a paint color that would match closely to what you have or does it just come in stain?? I am looking to paint my cupboards in a "cherry wood" color. Thanks.

I found my girl friends cat on top of her ice chest once, the ice chest is inset in a cabinet like thing and the only way I could see the cat getting on top of it was jumping the whole 6ft strait up on top of it, and yes cats are always on counters. Keep up the great videos.
