With the big decision behind you (so you think)—deciding to uplevel your kitchen; an even bigger decision remains: what do I pick for a cabinet finish? Stained—Painted—Specialty Finishes such as antiquing or a combination of finishes, begs a big question looking for an answer. We typically upgrade our kitchens every 15-20 years so picking a finish that will stand the test of time & one we will love for the duration is definitely a big decision. You have questions, Cape & Island Kitchens’ Designers have answers!

Let’s explore these 3 finishes and their pros.

Wood Finish Pros

Specialty Finish Pros
