We got the cabinets at barkercabinets.com. I’ve been planning to do a separate post on them once everything was done but I’ve been slacking on the blog lately. Overall, we are very happy with them. There were a few minor problems (a few wrong pieces delivered, two of the doors were not quarter sawn oak), but we ordered a ton of cabinets and as far as I have read/researched, it was not a huge problem. They were easy to work with, answered questions quickly and replaced incorrect pieces without hesitation.

But don’t get me wrong. It was a ton of work. The dying, the staining, the poly, the assembly, the install.

But they are gorgeous. They look exactly how we wanted them to look. I couldn’t find these in any IKEA, Home Depot, or showroom around.

LOVE them! And yay for accessing the inside of your drawers!!

I spent some time looking for where you got the cabinets themselves (in an un-assembled state) b/c hubs and I are going to re-do the kitchen, and want to try to do it on the cheap – have you not posted about where you got them because you didn’t like them? Where did you get them? Did you happen to find any feedback from anyone else on un-assembled cabinets?

Thanks!

Also, what are the dimensions of the actual shelves?

Found your blog after a google search (I too am on a quest to construct built-in bookshelves). This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

Gorgeous! I love it when a plan comes together. You’ve given me some good ideas and great process to follow.

How about a butcher block top on the island – useful and charming.

The choice on the pulls is perfect and I covet those counters every time I see them in these pics. The kitchen looks great.

I really like the new pulls but (I hate to be the dissenter) I would have put the pulls in the upper band of the drawers. In the deep drawers they work OK in the center but in the shallow drawers they look like you’d rake your knuckles when you reach for the pull. The reality is who cares what anyone thinks so long as you are happy.

I have to say that I love the new pulls sooooo much better than the other ones. And the positioning looks great, too.

I hope that you have photos of your gorgeous cabinets on your cell so that you can proudly show them off to everyone! haha They’re stunning.
