When you do a kitchen remodel or new construction, one of the most significant decisions you make is the type of wood species or the cabinet material. It’s the selection that many people make without really knowing why. Deciding which wood species for your cabinet affects how your kitchen will look when you walk in, as well as how long your kitchen may last. 

As painted cabinets continue to rise in popularity, stained or natural wood cabinets are still a proven safe choice. It is easy to get on the bandwagon and choose the latest greatest color of painted cabinetry, but that color may be outdated in just a few years. It is not as simple as just repainting and changing the color of the cabinet.
