Deborah Ferrer Design Studio

Curating materials for a coastal vibe project. 🌊

Back from Spring Market and jumped right into design presentations and material selections.

Our clients have been LOVING wood cabinet options. Today, natural hickory was selected for perimeter cabinets with a soft black for the island.

Hickory isn’t for the faint of heart. Before anyone commits to this wood species, a long discussion will take place. Although it’s extremely durable it is also very dramatic. There is a high color variation. A single door can feature many colors ranging from nearly white/blonde to a dark brown chocolate. It has a very rugged grain pattern - It can be straight, It can be wavy and irregular. Hickory can have small knots, pinholes and mineral streaks. These are all considered normal and are not a defect.

Excited for the client to make final design decisions with the layout and start the estimating process for the project.
