I have worked for Sylvester Cabinets for over 8 years. I have been in houses that range from the starter home to custom houses at the beach and everywhere in between. I have seen the old farmhouses turned modern and the little kitchen removed to make way for a larger one. I say all of this so you know that I have been around the block when it comes to houses and kitchens. Up until the day I was going to photograph this job I had only seen it in our design software, and when I walked in and saw this kitchen I was in awe. This kitchen takes modern cabinetry and mixes it with a timeless design ..read more

Winter is over, which means it is time for spring cleaning! To get your started early, here are a few tips that can help you declutter your kitchen. Step 1: Create a donate/trash pile This step can seem the most daunting, but it is the most crucial. Go through all of your cabinets and be honest with yourself. If there is something you don’t use, place it in the donate or cash pile. I know what you’re thinking.. What about that one serving tray I could use if I threw a party that was lemonade themed?! PUT IT IN THE PILE! If that day comes, I’m sure you can find a serving tray that fits more th ..read more

We love a good remodel here at Sylvester Cabinetry. There is something about removing something old and replacing it with something new. One of our favorite things about remodels would be seeing the before and afters. We get to watch the progress from beginning to end, however once everything is complete we like to sit back and compare the two. This kitchen is no exception to that, in fact it is one of our favorites to date. This was an old farmhouse that the owners decided to remodel. They worked with what the house had to offer, removed a few walls, added paint, flooring and cabinetry, and ..read more

We are frequently asked how we differ from the large box cabinet dealers. People also see the word “custom” in our company name and assume this means that we only do complex cabinetry and that our cabinets come with a higher price tag. To start off a large reason that we differ from box cabinets and why we say our cabinets are custom is due to the way we build our boxes. We do produce our cabinetry at our shop located in Harrington, Delaware. When we are designing cabinetry we do not have to stick to any standard size. People who are used to working with box cabinets know that you have to st ..read more

I cannot believe that we are already in 2022, it feels like just yesterday we were setting our goals and going over plans for 2021. At the beginning of every year, we like to try to guess what styles we will see in the coming year. It is always cool to see what sticks around from year to year and what new styles pop up. Last year we guessed that we would continue to see white cabinetry but would see a variety of color pops. We also thought we would see open floor plans with even more open cabinetry.

Did someone say “home office”? I feel like in 2020 a home office is more prevalent than ever. Whether you have had to work from home, your kid has had to do school work, or maybe you just want some more home organization, a home office would be the answer for you. Just because you hear the word office, doesn’t mean you have to have a whole room just for the office. Something just having a designated space for your stuff makes it that much easier. Your first questions might be “where do I start?” Well first you want to figure out what you want out of your home office. Do you need space for stor ..read more

I’m dreaming of warm weather, palm trees, sand everywhere and a fruity drink in my hand…. Wait, we aren’t talking about that kind of island are we? Sorry, its hard to not dream of a warmer place when we are in the middle of winter with snow everywhere! Kitchen islands are often the focal point of a kitchen. They are so versatile, and can be many shapes, sizes, and colors! One of the first things we look at when designing a kitchen island is how much room we have for an island. If space isn’t an issue, we then ask what your main use of the island will be. Islands are used for some people as the ..read more

New year, new me? Isn’t that the saying? Maybe for 2021 we should make it “New year, New kitchen!!” With this blog I want to touch on some things we expect to see for trends throughout this year. First and foremost, as shown in the last few years, white is here to stay. White cabinetry is timeless. It can brighten up even the darkest rooms, and people really love the clean look it creates in their home. With this being said, in 2021 I think we can expect to see more of a variety of colors. We might see this with pops of color in the island or bathroom cabinets, or we might see it in the whol ..read more
