More Cabinetry

It is difficult to describe just how beautiful this cabinetry is with-out paint, or stain. Leon Beimer and his son Eric are fine craftsmen.
The painted cabinets are made of poplar with a MDF material used in the center of the cabinet doors. The inset of the doors are beveled with a softer edge design. The above pictured cabinet was installed above each of the commodes and will be excellant storage space.
The cabinetry in the master bath pictured below is of cherry wood. We saw this similar shaker design at Lowe's. Beimer Cabinets copied the simple design of squared, Shaker lines we chose. Notice the detail Leon added with the inset dots of darker squares on the narrower overlaid pieces surrounding the doors. We chose this same Shaker style cabinetry for the kitchen.
Steve explained to us last night Leon is one of the few cabinet makers who installs his cabinets. Most drop the cabinets off with a diagram explanation, then the builder has to install them. Steve also pointed out the crown detail work around the top of the cabinets. He said the Beimer's install this themselves where other cabinet makers do not. The owners have to call on the builder, or someone else to apply this finished detail work later. I am learning so much.
This last photo is of the upstairs cabinets in the laundry room. It was difficult to take photos in such a small space, no room to back up.
