1. Wall Oven Concepts
Transform a wall oven into a tall furniture piece by using handcarved scrolls and rosettes. Frame the oven with traditional capitals and large reeded pilasters, or design an open shelf above the wall ovens and pantries to give the cabinet more dimension and interest!

2. Pantry Concepts
A pantry does not have to look like a tall box - it can look like an elegant piece of furniture with great storage capabilities. Add carved mouldings, decorative onlays, and carved feet to create even greater elegance. Use shallow corbels - if the corbel over projects, it can become overpowering and disproportional. Keep corbel depths to under 3."

3. Capitals, Lineals and Plynths
Capitals, Lineals & Plynths take a large rectangular cabinet and convert it into an elegant addition to a kitchen. A pantry or oven cabinet may not be the main focal point of a kitchen, but with the addition of some carved elements, it will support and complete the room's final design.

4. Ornate Friezes
A frieze is used to make a statement; it is bold and sets the theme of the kitchen. Functionally it bridges the gap from a standard cabinet to a tall ceiling.
