St. Vital Current Custom Kitchen Build -two views of the current custom designed and built cabinets in progress.  3/4" birch plywood bases with 1/2" plywood drawers that all slide out with Blum Tandem under mount soft return sliders.  The cabinets/drawers are faced with a gray horizontal laminate.  All upper cabinets will be horizontal cabinets that have lift up Blum soft return Aventos HK-S lift hinges.  The custom island breakfast table is installed and awaiting Quartzform counters from River City Stone.  he island base seen incomplete will be drywalled with a circular stainless steel ring mounted as a decorative feature that will match the stainless appliances the client has purchased.    

I'm told from various people that i'm the ONLY custom Euro kitchen builder in Winnipeg.  That is building from scratch to fit the needs and the specific environment of peoples homes in the horizontal like cabinet style.  This is very interesting considering the size of the market and how many kitchen cabinetry business' there are.  The CEO & owner of a local (10 years plus in business) successful and growing stone business loves my work and said "they don't build cabinets like you do any longer" and uniquely designed and custom built.   He also told me that local cabinet builders and suppliers don't use and install the best of cabinets that people are paying huge dollars for.
