New Slim Shaker Color and Material Options Now Available

Burrows Cabinets has expanded the material and finish options offered on our Slim Shaker doors, giving builders additional ways to create spaces buyers connect with across a range of communities and price points, without adding unnecessary complexity to their cabinet programs.

Our expanded Slim Shaker palette offers home buyers design freedom to personalize their home with options that build value and pride of ownership.

Slim Shaker is now available in a wide selection of stained wood finishes, from near black Alder Cacao to light-blond Maple Savaii (shown above), options builders trust, in one of our most requested door styles.

The result is greater flexibility within a proven profile, where builders can maintain consistency across their cabinet program while tailoring looks to regional preferences and buyer demographics.

Shown below is Burrows Cabinets’ Maple Driftwood stain on Full Overlay Frameless cabinets, with Slim Shaker doors, built-in appliance panels and tall uppers with glass paneled doors. It delivers a clean, elevated look designed for long-term appeal.

Since 1971 Burrows Cabinets has proudly built cabinets for Texas home builders, and in just a couple months we’ll celebrate 55 years in business! That’s more than five decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and service to the Texas home building industry and Texas families.

A lot has changed since our doors first opened in 1971. Home styles have evolved, materials have advanced, and technology has transformed how we design and build. But through the years one thing has never changed. Burrows Cabinets has always had a singular focus: cabinets. And we’ve always built our cabinets right here in Texas.

Made in Texas. Always.

From day one, every Burrows cabinet has been manufactured in-house at our Texas facility. We’ve never outsourced or imported cabinets. Every cabinet we deliver, whether for a small starter home or a luxury, custom home, is built locally by skilled craftspeople who understand Texas builders, Texas homes and Texas priorities.

That commitment to local manufacturing and singular product mastery gives builders confidence they’re working with a team of product experts who control the entire process from design and production to delivery and installation. It’s how we’ve earned our reputation for quality, service, and on-time deliveries for over five decades.

Evolving with the Industry

In 1971, cabinetmaking was a craft of hand tools, small equipment and local lumber. Today our facility uses advanced, CNC controlled machinery, engineered wood materials and advanced finishing systems to achieve consistency, precision, long-term durability and value.

Our EVRGRN engineered wood line pairs the natural look of woodgrain with the performance of modern materials, similar to the way countertops and flooring have evolved. They look incredible and stand up to daily use! This reflects the way Burrows Cabinets continues to evolve, while keeping craftsmanship and quality at the center of everything we do.

We’ve expanded our product line to include both frameless and face frame cabinet construction, hundreds of door style, material and finish combinations and a complete, turn key cabinet solution designed specifically for Texas home builders.

Built for Builders. Built for Texas.

Burrows Cabinets’ success has always been built on relationships, with our employees, our builder partners and local communities.

Because we manufacture and install our own cabinets, and don’t dilute our focus with multiple product types, we can guarantee the reliability, quality and service Texas home builders expect. Our specialized cabinet production and installation teams make sure jobs are complete, correct and ready on time. It’s a standard we’ve kept for more than half a century.

Proud of Our Past. Excited for the Future

As Burrows Cabinets approaches our 55th anniversary, we’re honored to look back at a legacy built on craftsmanship and partnership, and forward to a future that continues to serve Texas home builders with innovation, excellence and local pride.

From all of us at Burrows Cabinets, Thank You! for 55 years of trust, dedication and partnership in building products we are proud of, at the center of homes where memories will be made for generations.

Here’s to the next 55 years of building beautiful Texas homes, one cabinet at at time.

Burrows Cabinets customers can pair ultra-realistic woodgrain and painted cabinets throughout the home, a growing trend in home design. Their EVRGRN engineered wood delivers warmth and texture of Rift White Oak, Cherry and Maple with the durability and consistency of modern, sustainable material. EVRGRN is ideal for high-use areas like kitchen base cabinets and bathroom vanities, offering both beauty and long-term performance.

For kitchen cabinets, the most sought-after woodgrains are those that offer versatility and a neutral color palette, and pair seamlessly with a wide range of colors and interior design styles. Light-neutral wood color and grain are ideal for creating a versatile design foundation.

We’re excited to introduce our popular Slim Shaker doors, now available in Burrows Cabinets’ 3-D grain matched EVRGRN material – crafted for beauty, durability and sustainability. Slim Shaker is now available in EVRGRN colors for Full Overlay Frameless cabinets, in addition to 11 beautiful paint options.

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 doors have increased in popularity due to home buyers looking for a more minimal, modern-transitional alternative to Shaker cabinet doors which have saturated the market over the past decade.

Slim Shaker doors are a perfect marriage of traditional, square-frame Shaker, with modern slab design. Slim Shaker’s 1″ frame design provides the perfect subtle detail to set the doors apart from the clean look of full overlay cabinets; and the narrow frame detail creates a lighter, more minimal look and feel than traditional Shaker doors.

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

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.

Straight Grain Rift-White-Oak look

Home buyers and designers are requesting more modern, straight-grain material for their cabinets, and Burrows Cabinets has several beautiful options!

Our popular Castel, Reveur, Laurent and Biscay EVRGRN colors shown above have a rift white oak, straight-grain look, with subtle characteristics like pin knots and controlled variations in color and grain.

EVRGRN’s grain-matched texture creates a natural look and feel and provides the durability, performance and visual consistency of cutting-edge, engineered material.

Castel, Reveur, Laurent and Biscay are available in Burrows Cabinets’ Frameless cabinets.

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.

Burrows Cabinets’ pull options range in length from 4-3/4″ to 6-1/8″ to fit different design aesthetics and cabinet door sizes.

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.

Rift White Oak’s popularity as a cabinet and furniture material is soaring due to its subtle, straight grain pattern, neutral color, and durability.

Gold hardware is the warm, rich detail buyers are looking for to personalize their space. Homeowners are moving less frequently with the average homeowner staying in their home 13 years. They are spending more time at home and want options that are more personal and even nostalgic. Gold hardware is the perfect ornament to create a more unique, personal, and inviting space.

Designers pair gold cabinet pulls with brushed stainless and chrome faucets and fixtures for a curated look, in addition to using gold throughout the room.

Gold hardware stands out beautifully on dark paint and deep wood stains.

And gold hardware warms up whites, greys and creams and adds dimension and contrast to neutral color palettes.

Burrows Cabinets now offers three gold cabinet pull options that pair beautifully with modern, transitional and traditional aesthetics.
