It is always exciting when the kitchen starts to take shape, and this week we see the start of that process with the arrival of the beautiful cabinetry components from Kitchen and Bath Solutions.
Kitchen and Bath Solutions was a fledgling firm in the summer of 2004, just waiting for a big break, and while Hurricane Ivan was no picnic, there is no doubt that the timing was pretty fortuitous for a company that had just geared up with a great product line and was raring to go.
“We compressed about ten years of experience into 18 months” laughs Matthew Adams, the K&BS owner who was at the front line during that 2005 initiation by fire. “We learned a lot about quality control, lessons which we apply regularly today” he added.
One of the areas where Matthew and K&BS have addressed quality is the acquisition of the rights to distribute the Executive Cabinetry product line out of South Carolina
It’s eco-friendly cabinet line is right in tune with today’s custom home buyers, who expects not only top quality products but products by companies that are sensitive to the use of renewable resources and energy conservation. Improvement of indoor air quality, through avoidance of formaldehyde producing chemicals in the home is one of the major sales features of the Executive line, as there is growing concern about the harmful effects of vapors, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and Heavy Metals. These harmful irritants are found in traditional solvent based finishing materials whereas this whole line uses water-based solvents.

The quality of this product is apparent immediately. With all ¾” Maple ply construction, dovetail connections, and the soft-closing hinges, it is a pleasure to contemplate using this product everyday. “We even stain-finish the insides of the open face drawers for that fully finished custom look” said Matthew.
The cabinetry scope extends throughout the home, from the kitchen and laundry room to the wet bar and entry millwork, through all the bathroom cabinetry – a comprehensive design that is consistent throughout the home.
You can look forward to seeing Matthew and Leon Kingbird Drive Corporate Electric Building
Look also for the new contemporary European “Bellini Cabinet Line” from K&BS and Executive, arriving soon.
This is just one of the multiple organizing drawers in the kitchen. Beautiful Maple craftsmanship.
