“Five elements in your plans should include the type of wood, cabinet design, type of finish, custom specifications, and the hardware. Each of these is interrelated and can be combined to create the perfect kitchen for your log home.”

 

Start by accurately measuring the spaces for the cabinets and designing the layout. Submit this plan to the cabinet makers including the type of wood, cabinet choice, smooth or hand-hewn surface, color, and finish. They will take your ideas and create gorgeous rustic cabinets for your log or conventional home.

Clear Coat, Stain, or Painted Finish on Kitchen Cabinets?

custom-kitchen-cabinetYou can vary the appearance of your kitchen by using a clear coat, stain, or painted finish. 

  • Clear Coat – Clear Coat does not add color to the wood because, as it implies, it is a transparent finish. It brings out the natural colors and characteristics with a smooth and durable satin look. Clearcoat resembles looking at a photo under glass.
  • Stained – Cabinets can be stained with a variety of colors from light to medium to dark to satisfy your décor and color scheme. Stains can be covered with a clear coat to create a beautiful and rustic finished product.
  • Painted – Painted cabinets can add another dimension of color that can enhance the knots, grains, and mineral streaks of wood. You can make it light with a whitewash or go with darker shades to vary the natural characteristics.

Just remember to be very specific about colors and finishes when ordering your custom kitchen cabinets.
