Board and Batten Kitchen Cabinetry

Tags: Home Design

I'm desperately searching for "board and batten" style kitchen cabinetry like that featured on the reality TV show "Starting Over". The following link is specifically what it looks loke:

I've tried countless kitchen designers, manufacturer catalogs and retail stores but haven't been able to find anything close to this style. Can anybody tell me where I might be able to locate it or a similar style? Or whether there is a name other than "board and batten" that might be used to try and describe it?

Thanks so much for all your help!

I also did some searches for you, and came up with:

Young Furniture has beaded doors like your photo (but a small width), but no battens, perhaps they can be added after installation.

Kemper also has a style called Crosscreek, again, no battens, but the beadboard is random width, very attractive.

Have you tried emailing the show's website to ask?

If this is a DIY, perhaps you can order all your shells and just have the doors custom-made?

If you are willing to invest the time and money, it would be worth your while to have a designer draw up the plans and specs so you can get bids for custom work.

Happy renovating!
