Kitchen cabinets

Kirk and I joined Directbuy back in November 2010, knowing that we were going to build this house and with the hope that we would save a lot of money by purchasing a membership.  One of the items that we really hoped to save on was kitchen cabinets.  I've been working with the kitchen designer through directbuy and told him our likes/dislikes.  He made a few suggestions and ordered us some samples.  I've been waiting patiently and yesterday they finally came!!  I couldn't be more happy with the selection he helped us come up with for our cabinets.  We picked a Lypus cabinet finished in a cappuccino stain with a chocolate glaze for our island.  They are also using an "Old World Distressing" technique to make it look antique.  This includes dips, knife cuts, light chain distressing, rasping, rounded corners, worm holes and worn edges.  For our main cabinets, we picked a maple cabinet finished in a marshmallow creme with a chocolate glaze.  We like having a contrast of white cabinets with a dark colored island.  Here are a few pictures:
