[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Painted cabinets have always been considered less desirable. Perhaps a beach house in the Hamptons could get away with white painted ones, but not many other places.

Just a note to think about. [/quote]

In the $1-2M price range it’s rare to see a home with wood stained cabinets. [/quote]

Yeah, but in higher end homes it's rare to find painted cabinets.

The reason is painted cabinets are "popular" in lower end builds now because that allows builders and cabinet sellers to get away with selling cheap pre-fab compressed wood pulp/etc. cabinets. Engineered boards with a cheap veneer.

Higher end cabinets use real wood and stained coated finishes or even higher end using hand rubbed oil finishes. [/quote]

This.

In Bethesda, Potomac, McLean or Great Falls, all hardwood cabinets are in the kitchens of the majority of homes even below $2M. Yes, as always exceptions do exist. The color of the stain will vary. The wood might be oak, maple, or something else. Most often, the cabinet style aligns with the architecture of the house overall. [/quote]

Are these not painted cabinets?

Ooo OP I didn’t post this, but this is a good kitchen for you to look at. See how the cabinet profile is simple and doesn’t feel fussy, but it has that molding so it’s not a flat plain shaker door? Love it. Would be a good choice for your house too.

And if I’m seeing this correctly, they have the same type of profile elsewhere even though I don’t think it is the same inset.
