CUSTOM CABINETRY
Your Dream Kitchen, Designed Around How You Actually Live
From custom cabinetry to full kitchen remodels, Arch and Gable brings thoughtful design and old-house expertise to homes across Lawrence, KS. Let's turn your kitchen into the room your family gathers in.
OUR KITCHEN DESIGN PROCESS
1. Discovery Consultation and Design Proposal
We start with a conversation, either at our Cabinet Studio or in your home. We talk through how you use your kitchen, what's not working, your style, and your budget range — no pressure, just listening. We can then provide a proposal for the design work.
2. Design & Cabinetry Selection
If you decide to move forward with our services, we translate that conversation into a layout, cabinetry style, and finish palette tailored to your home and your budget. You'll browse door styles, colors, and hardware in our studio and see how the pieces come together before anything is ordered.
3. Proposal & Timeline
You'll receive a clear proposal outlining the scope, investment, and estimated timeline — so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
4. Ordering & Coordination
Once approved, we handle the details: ordering cabinetry, coordinating with contractors and trades, and keeping the project on schedule so you don't have to manage a dozen moving parts yourself.
5. Installation
Your cabinetry and finishes come together on-site. We stay involved throughout to make sure the craftsmanship matches the design.
6. Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished space with you, make sure every detail is right, and hand over a kitchen designed to be lived in — not just looked at.
