Custom. Made. Cabinetry.
Now I know, I know, that 'custom made' doesn't mean 'good quality'. If I were to whip out the Skilsaw and had a forest to work with I could probably create cabinetry that's suitable for use -- as kindling. And I know that it doesn't mean 'attractive', either. Some of the glossy pieces that I've seen for sale are elegantly made -- and ugly. And I know that it's possible to go too far -- I've seen kitchens with more cabinetry than counterspace. It was beautiful, but functional? No. Not what I have in mind.

There is an elegance and sophistication, a blending of form and function, that is almost a sensual pleasure. It captivates me.
