I love the cabinets! How was the stain applied to get that look and what type of stain?

Katy,

Thanks for the compliment on the cabinets.

The stain in that application was simply wiped on with a rag.

Our standard finishing process is to spray the stain on, let it sit a few minutes and then wipe it off. Then spray a laquer sanding sealer, let dry, sand them and then 2 clear coats.

We decided to just hand wipe the stain after finishing 1 of the doors as a sample and liking what we saw.

That Alder also has a lot more character than we normally see. If you look at the other photos of Alder cabinets in our portfolio you can see quite a difference in the woods.

The finish on those cabinets was 1 of the more "controversial" finishes I have experienced. People who saw them either loved them or hated them. There was no middle of the road. Personally I really like the look and am glad to hear you do too.

The stain used was Minwax #230 Early American.

Cabinet design/style ideas
Q

So we have finally decided on a kitchen design: Taken inspiration from : this is the floor plan. The dinning area will be moved to next to the steps, in front of the alfresco area. The family room will be in front of the kitchen with another outdoor area next to it. But dilemma not is that we cannot decide on plain cabinet doors or shaker style. The colour of the doors will be Satin White with black knobs matching the black granite sink and charcoal glass splash back. The bench top will most likely be something similar to Calcutta Quartz. I like the modern simplicity of plain doors but i don't want it to look too clinical. I like how shaker style adds a bit of character to the whole area, but i don't want it to look too traditional. What do you think? Any other style suggestions?

What grit of sandpaper did you use to finish sand? Would like to try to duplicate this in some custom cabinets I am having done. Thanks much!

Tiffany,

I honestly have no idea what grit sandpaper my painter used. I built that home about 14 years ago and he no longer paints for me.
