Showplace Enhances Finish Lineup with Three New Earthy Stains

Posted on June 13, 2023February 27, 2024 by Justin Ehrman

(HARRISBURG, SD) – Showplace Cabinetry announces the introduction of three new stains, inspired by the natural beauty of wood. Sable and Sparrow offer a rich and earthy feel, providing a unique and organic light brown tone. Buff is also a light brown stain emulating a neutral tone on quartersawn white oak.

“Lighter brown stains have been consistently trending in home design over the last couple of years and we wanted to add more options to our stain family to fit that need,” said Lisa Myers, at Showplace Cabinetry.

Warm and natural with organic elements, Sable features a red ever-so-slight undertone. As every wood species uniquely interprets Sable, wide variation in color exists between the species.

Warm, yet slightly cooler than Sable, Sparrow has a tan/taupe undertone. Sparrow is available on all Showplace wood species and celebrates variability between species as well.

Sable and Sparrow are both considered character stains which are meant to enhance the graining of the wood. Buff is an equalizer formula specifically crafted for quartersawn white oak which helps neutralize the natural yellow undertones. Each stain has been carefully crafted to ensure that it not only looks beautiful, but also complements a wide range of styles and tastes.

“We are thrilled to offer these beautiful new stains,” said Hannah Gebauer, Director of Marketing at Showplace Cabinetry. “Sable and Sparrow are similar depths but with warm and cool undertones, so designers and homeowners can choose which one fits their overall color palette better. Buff is a beautiful take on quartersawn white oak that our dealers have been asking for a stain with a little less yellow.”

There are several “families” of door styles in our collection with a variety of construction methods. From doors made of three or five parts, or flat or raised center panel doors, to classic applied molding or contemporary slab doors, there is something for everyone.

3 or 5-Piece

Most of our doors are constructed with five pieces, consisting of two styles and rails, and one center panel.

We also offer a 3-piece door (shown above) called “Villa.” This unique door, constructed with two styles and a middle panel, brings a trendy, contemporary look to any space.

Flat/Raised Panel

Most of our door styles are either constructed with a flat or raised (shown above) center panel, but some are available with either option.

In many cases, flat panel doors have a veneered plywood center panel, while the raised center panel doors are made of solid hardwood.

Applied Molding

When you’re looking for a more classic look with decorative flair, our collection of doors with detailed molding applied to the inside of the door frame is the look for you.

We offer a variety of molding styles that range from simple square edges to eloquent and classy.

Slab

Contemporary design is where simple, sleek styles are most popular. Our selection of slab doors are made from MDF material covered with veneer and solid wood edgeband.

A couple of newer door styles, built with louvers or kerfs, give you even more choices in the ever-changing world of design.

Kerfed

The contemporary “Lane” door style is one of our kerfed doors with vertical grooves (kerfs) cut into the slab door. (Shown inset with frame)

Louvered

The “Cabana” door is a louvered door built with angled slats. This stylish door has plenty of character and gives a spa or island vibe.
