“The homeowner had a vision for their project from the start. They were looking for Old World details with classical styling. I loved the idea of the juxtaposition of the very modern bent glass wine cellar in the middle of the classical design elements. We paid homage to ancient architecture while still keeping the design fresh and livable.” - Leann Agnew, Designer & Contractor, Living Settled LLC, Texas
An old world classical kitchen is not something that all custom cabinet builders are used to making. At a time when transitional and modern designs are more popular than ever, achieving true classical proportions and details is becoming a lost art. Designer and contractor Leann Agnew teamed up with White River Design Services to help a custom cabinetry maker achieve an old world look for her clients’ kitchen and living areas. She came to us with this inspiration photo from her clients and we worked from there to modify the design to fit the space and functionality the clients were after.

Special consideration was made for the choice of crown, at it extended beyond the kitchen, into the living area, and around the curved dining area and wine room glass wall. This crown also had to be available in wood, curved resin, and stone.
Onlays were carefully chosen as focal points for the Rangehood, Island, and Doors. The look is beautifully balanced and pleasing to the eye.

This material worked great for one of our custom jobs. Thanks!
I am a one man show who ordered a lot of wood for a home office design. The packaging was superb. As with poplar wood there could be some imperfections, cracks, etc., but I am able to work around those issues. That is why it is best to pad your order. Shown is my work in progress. It is a slow process for me but will eventually get the office done.
Came in as ordered looks great
Tons of communication, delivery was timely, product was good, and customer service was on point. Thank you! Not painted yet, but soon!
Did not realize the curved part of the corbel was made of wood (maple) strips so staining is out of the question which was the plan. Now will need to paint. Still beautiful, very heavy, and well made. Always have a plan B.
