This kitchen is made in Butternut. It is a relatively soft chestnut colored wood rarely used and can be difficult to find. It does however have a very attractive grain and a warm appearance. As with every kitchen we only use one piece panels, rare for sure but even more rare in butternut.

This kitchen sink features a D.R.DIMES signature design element with the dovetail bracket base. Many kitchen shops will put a furniture base but we haven't seen anyone dovetail it. As primarily furniture makers, it is logical to us. To the right of the sink is the dishwasher and to the left a rollout trash, both with wonderful solid bronze handles. The matching Sub Zero Fridge and Freezer, also with solid bronze appliance handles, were a tight fit but we managed. The integration of modern appliances is critical to a quality job.

Granted most homes don't have room for a pantry area such as this nor do they have a duplicate sink, but it is both beautiful and useful. We make a lot of tall wall pantry units since they provide large volumes of convenient storage.
