Recessed panel door
A recessed panel door, such as a Shaker style door, is one in which the center panel is recessed or lower than the surrounding frame.
Rift-cut wood is lumber that is less vulnerable to distortion than flat sawn lumber. Rift-cut wood is sawed strictly along a log’s radials – perpendicular to the annular growth ring orientation or wood grain – resulting in a straight grain pattern. This type of wood is used to create beautiful and functional flooring, furniture and cabinetry.
A soffit is a box-shaped area below the ceiling that conceals piping or wiring or other internal mechanisms. Sometimes soffits are created simply to fill the space between the cabinets and the ceiling. In some cases, it may be possible to remove the soffit and extend the kitchen cabinets to the ceiling to create a cleaner design and/or make the ceiling appear higher.
