About
Why Walnut Cabinet Co.
We’ve honestly asked ourselves this question for about 2 years, until we purchased the domain and veered into a new venture. The answer is lets focus on what we love and build exceptional quality cabinetry.
We don’t know how to write so bear with us. We really wanted a product that could show the quality and beauty of how great your home can be and we absolutely love using walnut! I think walnut can transform spaces and also I enjoyed this through 2 items in my home. The first was a lower fascia board on my range hood. The wood grain of the black walnut continued around the hood and created a warmth to the space we were enamoured with. Walnut has a gorgeous flow of grain and can be a work of art in itself. I still love when someone enters the home and says that’s gorgeous what is that wood?
The second walnut item I had was our family dining table. If you haven’t built a piece of furniture I don’t think there is one more important than the dining table! We built a 3’6x 8’3 We used mid width walnut averaged about 5.5” a piece and made sure we put our favourite pieces closer to the ends so you could enjoy the elegance of the wood while eating at the table. We had a custom base made by Achord metal products in London with a mid century modern flare painted to a charcoal. The table can seat 8 people and I feel it’s a perfect size for a family of four in my opinion; because you can have another family over and there is room for everyone to enjoy. We’ve built a few tables for clients now and we have them out to select the boards and skiff plane them to see the grain to make sure these are the pieces they love as well. When we have the table assembled we have the clients in to review and may have the family add a personal touch, a signature, a sticker, a different colour wood accent. Many different things. We want this to be a lifetime relationship with wood and with us.
Why do we want these items to be important in your life? Because a table is where you learn about each other, tell stories, share important news. We build these items for you to have for a lifetime. To share a baby smashing their fork against your new table and enjoying the last glass of wine with Grandma. Why not have that generational item to be passed down.
Kitchens are the life of the home. That’s where the amazing smells start to float through the house and that’s moms spaghetti and meatballs and is that garlic bread I smell; or dads chili. I think we all have that favourite cooking memory and we’d love to hear about yours! We tend think about sharing time with friends and neighbours around the island and enjoying great wine and hors d’oeurves. We find islands that work well for more entertaining is a bell shaped or “L” shaped island so you can improve the depth of conversation. Its time to create beautiful functional spaces that you and your loved ones can enjoy.
By the way we also plant new trees to account for what we use in your project. We think its the right thing to do.
We hope this gives you some insight to us and what we’re about.
