Why choose The Cabinetry Studio?

A Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD) is the highest distinction awarded by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), and it is earned by only a select group of professionals across the country. Achieving this title requires a minimum of 17 years of specialized experience in kitchen and bath design, completion of multiple certifications, and passing rigorous exams that assess technical knowledge, design ability, and industry best practices.

But the designation goes beyond experience alone—it also reflects a deep commitment to the profession. To become a CMKBD, a designer must demonstrate leadership, mentorship, and meaningful contributions to the industry, such as publishing, speaking, or mentoring others in the field. It’s a recognition of both mastery and service.

Working with a CMKBD means you’re choosing a designer who not only has decades of hands-on experience but also continues to learn, lead, and elevate the profession. It’s peace of mind that your space is being handled by someone who understands not just what looks beautiful—but what works, what lasts, and what avoids costly errors down the road.

At The Cabinetry Studio, we’re not a local cabinet shop or a source for ready-to-assemble (RTA) products. We specialize in high-end, custom cabinetry paired with concierge-level service and industry-leading design expertise. Our cabinetry—crafted by Wood-Mode—offers a superior finish, timeless construction, and a legacy of excellence backed by a lifetime warranty.

We exist to serve those who desire more: more precision, more elegance, more attention to detail, and a final result that feels curated and complete—not just installed. Our clients seek exceptional results, and they understand that achieving that requires more than just cabinetry—it takes expertise, communication, and a commitment to quality at every stage.

We’re not the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay. But if you’re looking to elevate beyond “standard” finishes and want a partner who brings decades of kitchen and bath expertise to ensure a flawless result the first time, then you’ve found your people. We’re here to help you level up—and to show you what’s possible when you expect more.

Wood-Mode is a legacy brand with over 85 years of craftsmanship and innovation. Known for its precision fit, luxury finishes, and full customization capabilities, Wood-Mode cabinetry offers timeless design and a lifetime warranty. As a premier dealer, we work closely with you to design cabinetry that reflects your lifestyle and elevates your home.

Currently, our focus is on offering Wood-Mode—America’s premier luxury custom cabinetry manufacturer. We believe in specializing deeply rather than spreading our attention across multiple lines. Wood-Mode’s product portfolio, including its semi-custom line Brookhaven, provides an exceptional range of styles, finishes, and customization options to suit nearly every need.

Wood-Mode is known for its handcrafted quality, timeless appeal, and enduring durability, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Brookhaven is its sister line—offering the same craftsmanship with a slightly more streamlined catalog and semi-custom approach, making it ideal for spaces that don’t require full bespoke detailing but still demand elevated design and quality.

By focusing exclusively on these lines, we’re able to provide the highest level of expertise, service, and successful results.

The design retainer ensures that our time, expertise, and thoughtful attention are reserved specifically for your project. As seasoned design professionals—not just cabinet dealers—we bring decades of knowledge in kitchen and bath planning, spatial design, and technical detailing to the table.

Just as you wouldn’t ask an attorney or doctor for a free diagnosis, our retainer reflects the value of the insight and planning we provide up front. It allows us to thoroughly understand your needs, solve potential challenges before they arise, and create a cabinetry solution that fits beautifully and functions flawlessly.

Our process is about far more than selling cabinetry—we take on the heavy lifting of planning, coordination, and problem-solving so your project is done right the first time, avoiding costly mistakes and delays. The retainer also applies toward your cabinetry order once you decide to move forward, making it an investment in both peace of mind and project success.

Yes! We love collaborating with exceptional trade professionals. Whether you're an interior designer, builder, or architect, we act as your cabinetry partner, providing technical expertise, thorough documentation, and concierge-level service that supports the success of the entire project.

No problem at all. While we often collaborate with designers, architects, and builders, we understand that not everyone comes to us with a full team in place. Through Twelve Stones Designs, our founder Christy Bowen—Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer (CMKBD), UDCP—can provide full design services to help guide your vision from concept to completion.

Additionally, we’ve built trusted relationships with exceptional builders and tradespeople who share our commitment to craftsmanship and concierge-level service. If needed, we’re happy to connect you with our preferred partners to ensure that your cabinetry is not only beautifully designed but also seamlessly integrated into your space.

Whether you come to us with a full team or are just beginning your journey, we’re here to help bring your vision to life with expertise, care, and a standard of excellence that sets us apart.

Yes, we offer professional installation through a select team of trusted cabinetry installers. Our process includes benchmark check-ins during the construction phase to ensure the site is properly prepared, helping to avoid costly surprises and ensure a flawless result.

While timelines can vary depending on project scope, design development, and manufacturing lead times, most projects take several weeks for design and 10–14 weeks for production. We’ll walk you through the full schedule, so you know what to expect every step of the way.

Absolutely. We invite clients and design professionals to explore our curated showroom by appointment. Enjoy a glass of wine or espresso while experiencing our signature cabinetry collections in person—we believe in designing spaces that engage all the senses.

While walk-ins are always welcome, we encourage appointments so that we can give you our full attention and create a more personalized experience.

The Cabinetry Studio isn’t a typical retail showroom—it’s a thoughtfully curated space where we explore ideas, review plans, and guide clients through a truly custom design journey. Because of the level of detail and collaboration we offer, we often step away from the showroom to be onsite—ensuring concierge-level service, verifying custom fit and finish, and communicating directly with the execution team to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Scheduling an appointment ensures we will be in the showroom to greet you and allows us to be fully prepared for your visit—gathering drawings, materials, or inspiration images—and ensures uninterrupted time focused entirely on your project. You’ll receive the benefit of our expertise, deep attention to detail, and thoughtful design insights that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

You're always welcome to stop by, but for the best experience, we recommend booking ahead. We can’t wait to welcome you in!

At The Cabinetry Studio, our goal is to provide a complete cabinetry solution—from thoughtful design to white-glove installation. While our design process is robust and highly detailed, it is exclusively offered as part of a full-service cabinetry purchase. We do not offer design-only services, as our focus is on delivering a complete product—from concept to completion—with impeccable fit, finish, and functionality. This ensures the best possible outcome and protects the integrity of your investment.
