A beautiful new Slim Shaker cabinet door style is now available on Burrows Cabinets’ Full Overlay Frameless cabinets!
Online searches for Slim Shaker cabinet doors have increased dramatically over the past couple years as seen in this online search graph from Google:
Home buyers want their homes to be a representation of their unique personality and taste while keeping a timeless, universally appealing look.

Slim Shaker cabinet doors feature:
- 1″ frame detail
- High quality, durable construction on a solid back
- Stable 90 degree joints
- 19 versatile color options – paint and EVGRN options
- Available on full overlay cabinets for a clean, modern look

The look of light, natural wood is a popular choice for kitchen cabinets due to the versatility of the neutral color, and options for pairing with a wide variety of countertop materials and different wall colors and design themes. Natural materials and neutral colors also create a calming effect visually, which makes the space inviting and relaxing.
Burrows Cabinets Maple Savaii option combines the beauty and durability of Maple wood with a light, clove-hued stain. This neutral stain color is subtle and pairs as well with white, cream, gray and black as well as pops of bright accent colors like orange, blue, green and pink.
The durability of maple makes it a great choice for cabinets in high use rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry and dining rooms.
Wood cabinet doors speak to the quality of the cabinet and create a high end look and feel in built-ins like the kitchen buffet cabinets shown below. The light colored, maple cabinets contrast well with built-in floating shelves in Burrows Cabinets’ darker Kona finish.
Burrows Cabinets’ Maple Savaii pairs as well with light colored walls and countertops as it does with more moody, dramatic dark colors as shown below with the high-contrast black herringbone tile walls in this primary bath.
Burrows Cabinets offers stain and paint colors in a wide variety of options, to fit any interior design theme. Visit our finishes page to view all our paint and stain options, and visit our EVRGRN options page to view our beautiful, 3-D grain matched engineered material options.
With over a decade of monochrome white and gray rooms dominating the kitchen and bath scene, it’s not a surprise that bold, black cabinets have taken center stage.
Black cabinets are showing up in mainstream kitchens, bathrooms, powder rooms, laundry rooms, mud rooms and offices. There’s not a single space in the home where the rich, deep, moody color isn’t being used to ground the space.
Black paint and black stained cabinets bring sophistication to a room and they allow beautiful hardware selections to shine.
Black also allows artistic wall treatments and backsplash tiles, and veined slabs to stand out. Black cabinets create a gallery frame effect for other visually interesting items in the room.
Burrows Cabinets offers a beautiful black paint called Breu shown in the buffet, island and Shaker vent hood photos above. It is a soft black which reflects light and pairs well with a wide variety of colors and finishes.
Black cabinets in the home office create a sophisticated atmosphere and a professional look and feel for in person and virtual meetings.
The high contrast of black cabinets to light colored walls, countertops and floors creates visual interest in a room and keeps the space from being monotone and uninteresting.
Burrows Cabinets’ sophisticated black stain is called Cacao and it is offered in Maple, Alder, Knotty Alder and Beech. Cacao (shown above on Beech) is a deep, warm black stain, with brown-black undertones, and it allows the woodgrain to subtly show through the stain.
Powder rooms have become homeowners’ design playground, with bold color and material choices giving a fun, moody or elegant appearance to small spaces. The painted deep green Saba floating vanity cabinets below brings personality and a pop of color to this powder room with black herringbone tile wall, white countertop and natural woodgrain floating shelves.
Burrows Cabinets’ Saba and Greystone paint colors create a dark backdrop for bright white walls and countertops, or vibrant and fun tile colors and wall patterns.
Our warm, natural color rift-white-oak-look Biscay floating vanity cabinet pairs well with soothing blue-green wall tiles in a herringbone pattern, and playful black and white check flooring for an updated, nature-inspired powder bath.
This floating vanity in EVRGRN Portaria below pairs perfectly with a unique mosaic tile wall in moody blues and black, and under cabinet lighting brightens the room and highlights the beautiful tile work.
In the small powder room below, a pull down cabinet door on the powder vanity is the perfect solution to access cabinet space without having to maneuver around the door. Burrows Cabinets Laurent EVRGRN material warms up the cool colors in the room.
Beautiful work by the homebuilders’ design teams!
Straight Grain Rift-White-Oak look

Burrows Cabinets’ deep-green, Saba cabinets are a perfect, nature inspired hue that is calming, inviting and has a classic, established home look.
The dark green cabinets pair well with light wood tones, as well as cream, grey, black, tan and white paint.
According to the The National Kitchen and Bath Association 2024 Kitchen and Bath Trends Report, buyers are looking for muted, natural colors with green topping the list.
Green was selected as a popular color choice for kitchen cabinets by 32% of designers, topping wood and white for the first time.
The NKBA polls over 600 industry experts and “provides a comprehensive look into key aspects of kitchen design with the goal of revealing anticipated trends for the next three years in styles, colors, products, materials and finishes.” Nature inspired hues topped the NKBA’s list of color preferences.
When asked to list popular kitchen color trends, 28% of designers chose wood, while 26% chose white.
Natural wood, and colors found in nature, like wood tones, greens and blues, instantly bring warmth and unique characteristics to a room.
Burrows Cabinets Maple Savaii is a beautiful, light stained wood that pairs well with our Saba green cabinets.
Full Overlay, Frameless cabinets are now available with our Atlas Core cabinet box, a commercial grade, ¾” construction, full-access box.

This two-tone, white upper cabinet and woodgrain lower cabinet kitchen is a very popular combination, and this specific combination of Luxe and Biscay is a designer and homeowner favorite!
Hardware pulls and knobs are like jewelry for cabinets.
They are the small detail that creates a thoughtful, well-designed, completed look. The four pull handles above are a few of our customer favorites!
Our Matte Black (far left) and Brushed Oil Rubbed Bronze (middle left) both provide high contrast for our lighter cabinet paint and finish options. Subtle differences in hardware color and sheen can create a completely different look. Oil Rubbed Bronze creates a slightly more casual or rustic feel than Matte Black. Both are very versatile, as are the elegant Gold and modern Brushed Nickel options.

According to NKBA Kitchen Trends Report, 40% of kitchen designers said their recent kitchen designs have become larger in scope vs previous years, with more designing bigger kitchens with walk-in pantries, working pantries and butler’s pantries.
Designers are filling a need for more storage and organization in the kitchen, and a means for creating a clean, uncluttered entertaining/work/homework area.
Working pantries serve as out-of-eyesight staging areas for food prep and dirty dish storage before a meal, between courses or at the end of a meal. Some working pantries are becoming very large in scale and include an extra dishwasher, refrigerator, wine storage and sink and upper and lower cabinets.
Walk in pantries are perfect for storing large appliances, box-store-size packages of dry and canned goods, and special occasion food prep items and serving dishes.
Below are photos of some of the walk in pantry, butler’s pantry and working pantry cabinets Burrows Cabinets recently completed for design inspiration.
A very deserving Marine family was given the surprise gift of a lifetime this week, a mortgage free home!
U.S. Marine Corporal William Makaafi and his family were selected out of a large group of applicants who are rigorously vetted and chosen for this incredible award. Makaafi served our country as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan. His unit suffered many casualties and Makaafi suffered injuries as a result of his deployment.
Operation Finally Home provides wounded, ill and injured Military veterans and first responders across the U.S. with mortgage-free homes and home modifications in honor of their service and sacrifice to country and community.
For the Makaafi family, Operation Finally Home worked with Scott Felder Homes, Tiemann Land and Cattle Development and many trade vendors and local businesses to fund and build a beautiful 2-story home in the Blackhawk neighborhood in Pflugerville, Texas.
Burrows Cabinets is grateful to have been part of the process, donating 100 percent of the cabinets for Makaafi’s home.
The family believed they were going to be interviewed as an applicant for a home and was surprised to find out they had already been chosen by Operation Finally Home, and the home would be theirs.
The home is still under construction, allowing the family to see notes of support, appreciation and love placed within the walls.
Thank you to Corporal William Makaafi for your sacrifice and service to our country! You are so deserving of this honor.
