Elegance and Sophistication: Moulding in Layers

At Edgewood Cabinetry, you can customize your cabinets to achieve the exact look that you want. Gone are the days of prefabricated (or stock) cabinets that can often be bland or boring. Because the kitchen is the room where the most time is spent, you want to make sure that your kitchen reflects your design taste and style. The cabinetry is often the focal point of the kitchen because it takes up the most space, therefore you should hire craftsmen that will take their time to build and install the cabinets that will bring life into your kitchen through craftsmanship, design, and color.
Edgewood Cabinetry feels that “custom cabinetry makes a kitchen.” This is the reason that the craftsmen pay special attention to detail, ensuring that every element you desire in your cabinetry, from extra storage; knobs, handles and pulls; islands; and built in appliance units, can be brought to life. Edgewood Cabinetry will draw the plans out for you, and provide you with 3D images that include texture, color, and style, so that you can see a realistic depiction of what you’re paying for, before process begins.
Some design elements that Edgewood Cabinetry can include are:
Layered, stacked or stepped, crown moulding. Moulding in layers gives your cabinets, and kitchen, a uniquely elegant and sophisticated appearance.
Ample storage allows you to have cutlery; appliance; pots and pans; as well as food, wine and spice storage where ever you want it.
Islands provide you with more counter, cabinet, and storage space.
If you’re looking to have custom cabinets designed, built, and installed in your kitchen, and you’re in the Clayton, NC area, Edgewood Custom Cabinetry is the company for you. Contact us, and let’s get started on your project right away!

Distressed Finishes Give Cabinetry Charm and Character

Are you shopping for new kitchen cabinets and everything you find looks too perfect?  The shiny, smooth, contemporary choices can be cold and uninviting, and maybe you would rather have cabinetry that gives off a casual, warm vibe.  Whether you’re trying to find something that fits in with a century old farmhouse or you just have an eclectic taste, distressed finishes might be the look you’re going for.
What is a Distressed Finish?
A distressed finish is a fairly simple procedure that makes cabinetry appear aged.  Normal wear and tear causes finishes to have nicks, blemishes, and edges that are worn from daily use.  A distressed finish allows you to have the benefits of brand new cabinetry, with the aesthetic charm and character of older woodwork.
How Do You Distress Wood?
There are many ways to distress wood.  One way is to simply make some imperfections in the wood with a chain or hammer before finishing the wood.  With painted cabinetry, we simply lightly sand some areas to reveal the wood below, making it look like it has been lovingly used for years.  Using many different shades of paint will reveal layers, giving the appearance of decades of history.  After the perfect result is achieved, the wood is sealed so that the look will hold up for years, and it will give you a smooth surface for easy cleaning.
Distressed wood is becoming a popular choice for cabinetry both in new homes and older remodels.  Homeowners find the distressed look makes their kitchen warm and welcoming, providing a perfect place to relax, whether it’s a quiet family night at home or you’re planning on entertaining a crowd.
Distressed finishes will look great in your kitchen whether your style is country, traditional, or old world.  The result will be a unique, custom look that you won’t regret.  And if cost is a concern, check out our price match challenge.  To get started on choosing your new cabinets, contact us.

Storage Shelves, Cabinets and Closets

Many modern homes come with open spaces, connected living areas, more windows and fewer walls separating rooms.  In addition, what used to be attic space is often being converted into additional rooms.  While the increased living space is a welcome advance, it does have a consequence.  Homeowners are having a harder time than ever finding adequate storage space.

If you have a need to add storage to your home, ask Edgewood Cabinetry how adding storage shelves, walk-in closet cabinetry, and other storage solutions can help.

Mud Rooms & Laundry Rooms

The kitchen is the most important room in a modern home.  This is why most homeowners invest more in the kitchen than any other room.  And cabinets, more than any other item, determine the style and feeling of a kitchen.  Of course, countertops, flooring, light fixtures, appliances and wall tile all play an important role.  But your choice of cabinets is what establishes the look, feel, and mood of the kitchen.

If you want to create a traditional, rustic, contemporary, or modern look, it is the cabinets that  form the central design element of the entire room.  Since cabinets play a central role in a kitchen’s design, it is important to learn as much as possible about kitchen cabinetry and the choices available.
