Elegance and Warmth

I have worked for Sylvester Cabinets for over 8 years. I have been in houses that range from the starter home to custom houses at the beach and everywhere in between. I have seen the old farmhouses turned modern and the little kitchen removed to make way for a larger one. I say all of this so you know that I have been around the block when it comes to houses and kitchens. Up until the day I was going to photograph this job I had only seen it in our design software, and when I walked in and saw this kitchen I was in awe. This kitchen takes modern cabinetry and mixes it with a timeless design.

One of the main features of this kitchen is the hidden appliance garage. It is not your typical appliance garage. This one spans over 6 feet of the counter top and when the doors are open it gives the appearance of floating shelves.

Another thing that makes this kitchen stand out is that most of the appliances are panelized. The fridge, freezer drawers and there is even an ice maker hiding in there somewhere. This allows the look of the cabinets to continue for most of the kitchen.

Also hidden in the kitchen is a hanging space for jackets. This might not be your first thought to have in your kitchen, but if you’re tight on space for a coat closest on the first floor, it definitely gets the job done. Plus, it could easily be repurposed later on if you realize you no longer have a use for it as a coat closet!

This kitchen had a pop of color added to it for the bar area. This area was done in a deep blue which was finished off with glass cabinets up top to show off different items. On paper a stained kitchen along with a painted blue bar might sound unusual, but in this case it all pulls together for one beautiful kitchen.

You’re Just Steps Away From Your Dream Cabinets

Trust The Process

Whether you are thinking about remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or even just adding some storage cabinets to a walk-way in your home we are here to help!

This can be a very stressful time when trying to make all of the decisions at once and we want to help out in any way we can.

Below is a very short version of how the process works with our team!

We like to start with a meeting in our showroom in Harrington. At this time you can bring a hand sketch of your space along with some current images and some inspiration images. Here we get a feel for what your goal is, along with what we have to work with.

After this meeting we will do a quick prelim drawing with an estimate. If you would like to proceed we will set up a time to go out to your house to grab our own measurements.

When we are getting our measurements we are also making sure there aren’t pre-existing conditions that might cause complications later. Whether this be a water line that needs to be moved, or a plumbing pipe running through a wall that we were thinking of removing. We like to check for this early on.

From here we come back and update our drawings to the measurements and send them over to either get approval or see if there is anything that needs to be changed.

Once we have a final design and sign off, we will have a meeting for selections. This is always the fun part! This is where you will decide on door style, colors and hardware to bring your vision to life.

We do understand that having your house torn apart can be stressful, and we try to do whatever we can to make this process a breeze. We usually like to tell people to plan to be without a kitchen for a minimum of two weeks from the time the old cabinetry is removed and the new cabinetry is installed.

*** While we do not act as a General Contractor, we do like to meet with all of the sub-contractors that are working on the project at the jobsite, to create a timeline so that everything can run smoothly.

What to Expect When Expecting..... New Cabinets!

So you have decided to build a new house, or you want to revamp your current space. Congratulations! This is a very exciting time and while it might seem like a mountain of work now, I can tell you it is definitely going to be worth it.

We wanted this blog to just be a broad layout of the processes and in later blogs we will try to explain each in more detail… and with lots of pictures (:

Soooo you are ready to pull the trigger on getting some numbers and ideas together for you new cabinetry.

Step one is going to be a new design. This means that the one cabinet or appliance that you have always hated or you want it moved— you CAN move it!

After we nail down your design we will then want to move into the specifics of your cabinets. This is the fun part, but can also be a little stressful. You have to keep in mind flooring color, wall color, back splash, etc. (psssss. Tip: Pick your cabinet color and then pick your wall color and others to compliment your cabinet color)

Once we have the design and selections we send out our final estimate with a sign-off sheet so that the customer can make sure everything is exactly how they want it. We are more than happy to do this step at our showroom as well, just to answer any questions that could arise.

I also forgot to mention picking out accessories for your kitchen! Double trash? You bet! Spice pull-out? Now we are talking! Throughout the design process we will try to accommodate any accessories you want in your kitchen and place them in the most logical space.

Once we have the sign off we get to work! We want to schedule our date to come and do a layout, grab updated measurements and also set an installation date. Now if you are new construction versus remodel this part of the time frame can vary, but the most important part is cabinet installation date. The day we are set to bring you your cabinets!

Each job will vary from the design down to the timeline. We here at Sylvester want to make sure you are getting your dream cabinets. We are here to help from the beginning to the end. If you would like to inquire about new cabinetry visit http://sylvestercustomcabinetry.com/contact-2

As always thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next one! (:

Welcome, 2020!

Before we get into it I want to say hello! All of us here at Sylvester Cabinetry thought it would be a great idea to do some blogs throughout the year that are educational on the things that we do. For starters since we just started a new year we wanted to touch on all of the posts you’re going to be seeing about 2020 trends.

With every new year comes a new set of trends we can expect to see. This can range from what diet will be in, what type of fashion will be in, and the newest kitchen trends.

We might be a little biased, but we love the kitchen trends the most (:

Something we here at Sylvester Cabinetry have noticed is that in Delaware we tend to be a few years behind most trends. But don’t worry, we love to give people the kitchen that they want, no matter what trends are in.

So what can we expect in 2020?

Jackson Job

According to Elle Decor we can see more requests for Navy Blue cabinetry. Side note: (am I allowed to do this? I hope so!) In 2019 we did see a rise of the amount of people that were moving away from the normal whites and greys into the blues, even if it was just in their accents, and we are excited for more colors!

BHG also touches on single-level islands making a trend. In the last year we have seen the increase from a raised island to just single level island. I think it has to do with the clean look it gives a kitchen. But lets be honest, it also takes a hiding spot away from where I could pile stuff on my island and it not be seen from the living room. This trend right here is making us work!

According to Better Homes & Gardens open layouts are here to stay and I can tell you we are happy about this! We can make a lot work in small kitchens, but there is just a certain feeling you get in a kitchen that has an open concept!

We are excited for all of these trends, and also for anything that comes our way in 2020. Some of our favorite projects come from someone thinking outside of the box and wanting something they don’t think is “normal” like…..

“can we do a hunter green island?” Why yessss you can!

“can I have two islands in one kitchen?” OF COURSE

and one of my favorites

“Can I do two (or more) colors of cabinets?” Absoooolutely

We here at Sylvester are open to all of the ideas that people bring to us. At the end of the day we are designing, producing, and installing the job, remember it is YOUR space. Make whatever decisions you want!
