Shenandoah Cabinets (Renovation Experience)
by Sommer Collier — last updated on Feb 23, 2025 Our new kitchen Shenandoah cabinets have been ordered!!!! It was a hard decision, and I’m so thankful for all your input. You guys know A LOT about the best cabinets for kitchen renovations.
Apparently, you’ve done this a time or two.
Well, after going back and forth about the style and color of our new Shenandoah Cabinets, we decided the new ASP Kitchen will have Mission-style cabinetry in Maple Linen.
Like these…
Best Color for Kitchen Cabinets
We always love painted and stained cabinetry as they are easy to clean and maintain. Although I love the dark espresso tones and ultra-modern door styles for this kitchen renovation, we felt the Mission Maple cabinetry was the most transitional. Plus, my kitchen doubles as a photography studio, so I need as much light bouncing around as possible. The “linen” white cabinets keep the kitchen light and airy, perfect for photography and lots of natural light during the day. Light-colored cabinetry also provides more freedom to play around with the colors of appliances, countertops, and backsplash tiles.
I’ll save the glass and hardware choices for the big reveal. In the meantime, let me tell you about the Shenandoah Cabinetry experience.
Where to Find Shenandoah Cabinets
Shenandoah Cabinetry is sold exclusively at Lowe’s. So, after looking at all the options and ideas online, the easiest way to get started is to walk straight into the Lowe’s Kitchen Project Center.
You will find a large display of Shenandoah Cabinetry samples with all the replacement doors, color variations, glass styles, and hardware to fit your personal style. That way, you can put your hands on them and see how they look close up.
They also display Shenandoah Cabinetry mock kitchens, so you can oooooh and ahhhhh over the soft-close feature on the drawers and cabinet doors and see many of the storage solutions first-hand.
When you’ve made up your mind about the style of Shenandoah Cabinetry you like best, you simply measure your kitchen (or have Lowe’s customer service department send someone to measure for you), then take your measurements back to the Kitchen Project Center.
Lt. Dan used graph paper to draw out our current kitchen; isn’t he cute?
He thought it would make it easier for the designer.
The professional kitchen designers will work with you to make your dream kitchen come alive.
They will find the absolute best configuration of base cabinets and upper cabinets so that they look gorgeous and have ample storage. They can also help you select placement for glass door cabinetry, special storage options, soft close drawers, and trim.
When you are finished, you’ll have layouts and renderings of your new kitchen so you can show them to all your friends. It’s kind of like showing them baby pictures and wedding videos.
They. Love. It.
Once you place your order, BAM! A few weeks later, you have fabulous new Shenandoah Cabinetry at your doorstep, ready to install.
This process is much less painful than you might think. In fact, it was actually a great experience.

Disclosure: Shenandoah Cabinetry is providing gorgeous new cabinets for my kitchen makeover project. All opinions are my own.
I just finished a kitchen, very expensive, purchased upgrades and the quality of the cabinets Shenandoah is no producing is awful, NOTHING like the 10 year old display in Lowes. I could have gotten the same cheap quality kitchen for half the price.
Hi, this post came up when i searched for shenandoah mission cabinets as i am looking at them for my kitchen. did you ever post pics of the final? any particular advice you would give on this brand and lowe’s ? thanks!
We decided to replace the cabinets in our new house this past year as opposed to refinishing the existing cabinets. I had to really persuade my husband as it was a big expense, over $8000. We saw the Shenandoah white shaker sample cabinet at Lowe’s and the rep told us it was a pretty good cabinet, not the lowest grade option.
When the cabinets arrived, EVERY SINGLE piece was flawed. Chips, divets, scratches, parts not painted properly, raw edges, etc.
There were 32 damaged areas. Yup, 32.
I cried, literally. Lowes was trying to help us and had ordered some replacement doors and side panels for us. The replacements came in and every one of those were also flawed.
We had gone to Lowes to buy the cheap stock white shaker cabinets that are in stock on the shelf for our laundry room. Diamond brand I believe. To our surprise, those 3 cabinets were pristine! Not one single flaw! This infuriated us because we could have easily bought these cheaper stock cabinets for our kitchen remodel, spent half of what we spent on the Shenandoah, and had beautiful perfect looking cabinets in our new house. Instead, we are stuck looking at cheap flawed garbage cabinets everytime we walk into our kitchen.
How I WISH I had read reviews before proceeding with our purchase.
The worst part is that Shenandoah fought with us and did not give us 1 penny back for the overpriced cabinets we bought from them. They even sent their own rep to our house with the Lowes sales associate to see the condition of the cabinets first hand.
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT buy Shenandoah cabinets.
I hope someone at the company reads this.
