Design Notes
Color gets the attention. Preparation creates the finish.
Whether cabinetry is painted or stained, the final appearance depends on numerous steps that happen before you ever see the finished door.

Sanding and surface preparation create the foundation.
A premium finish can’t compensate for poor preparation.
Wood is natural.
Variation isn’t necessarily a defect—it’s part of the material.
Two boards from the same species can absorb stain differently or display different grain.
That’s part of what makes wood cabinetry beautiful.
