Aldergrove Cabinetry · Burlington, Vermont
We design and build cabinetry for the hours it is actually used — kitchens that catch the morning off the lake, shelving that holds the afternoon, a mudroom that works after dark.
Selected work
Hard noon light is unforgiving. It finds every seam, every uneven sand, every door that hangs a hair out of true. So the work is shot in the light it lives in, and shown that way.
What we build
Every piece is drawn for the room it goes into — the ceiling line, the window wall, the way you move through it.
Warm wood does most of the work. It holds early light without going cold, and it keeps a north-facing room from reading grey by February.
Cabinet runs drawn around the window wall, the work triangle and the way you actually cook in the room.
Shelving that fits the wall it lives on, floor to ceiling, sized to books, records and the objects on the sill.
Vanities built to the plumbing layout and to the morning rush, with storage where hands reach first.
Lockers sized for the coats, boots and bags that come through the door in a Vermont winter.
New doors and a new finish for cabinetry that still has good bones, when a full rebuild is more than the room needs.
How it works
A kitchen at seven in the morning is a different room than the same kitchen at seven at night. Cabinetry should be drawn for the one you live in.
Early for a kitchen. Late for a mudroom. We watch where the light actually falls before anything is drawn.
Cabinet depth, door profile and finish sheen are chosen against the way your room reads at that hour, with the wood sample standing in the real light.
Cabinetry is made to your walls and your ceiling line, then set and finished in place, room by room.
