Classic White Shaker Cabinetry with Black and Grey Accents This La Quinta project is a new home build and included installing cabinetry in the kitchen, baths, pantry, laundry room, and Casita kitchenette. Classic white Shaker cabinets paired with gray flooring, clean white walls, and decorative graphic accent tiles, make this transitional design timeless.
Full Home Cabinetry Installation The new owner of this 6,450 sq ft expanded ranch home refreshed and fully updated all the finishes throughout. Cabinets of the Desert installed a clean white painted updated shaker, Bellmont Cabinet Co.’s Matisse cabinet door, for the chef’s kitchen, attached pantry, breakfast seating area, and detached Casita. For the TV, built-in bar and desk, and floating accent shelving we used a Cleaf laminate product – Tyburn – a warm greige neutral with a texture inspired by oak wood to blend with the oak plank flooring used throughout the home.
