hose of you who know me best know that I am a total and complete cabinet nerd. I realize that most people don’t find cabinets as EXCITING, FASCINATING OR FABULOUS as I do…but, hey, we all have our hang ups, right?! Just a few years ago my husband and I opened a whole new Oklahoma company with my guilty pleasure in mind: Wilshire Cabinet + Co was born! From kitchens and baths to great rooms and laundries – and even the great outdoors – when you need fine cabinetry there is always something unique and custom that our amazing team can create for your new home or remodel. As I see it, there is nothing wrong with a clean, crisp, white, Shaker kitchen. But if that’s not for you, then there are bold colors, statement hardware, integrated lighting, and, most recently new, unexpected finishes and textures for your cabinet doors and drawers. I have followed the growing momentum in Europe and now in the US; non-traditional, textural elements are being used to make a design statement. This is no trend. Now that we have harnessed this technology, I believe texture is here to stay!
And so, I am thrilled to share some very exciting news from the cabinetry world with you. Our partners at Plato Woodwork, Inc. have long been revered as one of the top finefinished custom cabinets in the United States, and 125 years of excellence and innovation has brought them to their newest launch: THE COLLECTION. Showcasing textures in simple geometry, with innovative forms and function, the surfaces will captivate your senses. Focusing on unique textures for every door and drawer, this collection is the boldest step that the domestic cabinetry industry has ever made. It debuts with eight texture families: Crete, Crinkle, Hide, Ripple, Shine, Surf, Talc and Timber in a total of 28 finishes.
