Thank you for your input. Yes, renovation is indeed expensive! 200k for cabinetry alone and this is not inclusive of the Blums 😏

Initially I was thinking of going for solid wood for dry kitchen, master wardrobe, and bathroom cabinets and HDF for wet kitchen and the rest of house. Now I may need to rethink it.

Let me know if you know of any solid wood carpenter. I’ve seen quite a few but I’m not convinced with neither. Thanks again for your input I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your input. I was considering solid wood for dry kitchen for aesthetic purposes, as I am interested in the classic english style.

I'm aware that the classic english style is achievable using plywood/HDF. Do you know what would be the difference between solid wood and plywood/HDF in terms on aesthetic? In other words, would it look the same?

TIA!!

Thanks! you've been of great help.  I'm planning to have a white kitchen I was thinking to spray paint the cabinet but some carpenters told me that it is better to stain it. What do you think?
