-Introducing Town & Country-
Schaefferstown, PA – Wanting the best of both worlds is not impossible these days, especially when it comes to home decorating. Many consumers who live in urban areas gravitate naturally to the subtle sophistication of an ‘uptown’ look but still want to maintain the relaxed feeling that goes hand and hand with ‘country’ living. Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry has perfected this combination style for today’s homeowners with its newest inspiration, the Town & Country kitchen.
The Town & Country kitchen is a mix of uptown elegance blended with a relaxed rural feel. Imagine a NYC brownstone ripe with rustic sensibilities or a farmhouse that projects a more urban sophistication. Truly, it is the best of both worlds---Town & Country.
The Old World patina of Plain & Fancy’s Brushmark Crackle finish segways to a refined showcase of mullion-windowed cabinets in Plain & Fancy’s White Wash finish. Elegant and refined, yet warm and inviting this flexible kitchen is perfect for small intimate gatherings or for entertaining larger groups.
“Town & Country is all about a ‘down home’ feeling merged delicately with a bit of ‘town’ aesthetics to create a refined elegance that works so well in the everyday world... a kitchen that is cozy, but beautiful without being pretentious,” said Loretta Achey, Founder and Treasurer for Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry. “With all the modern conveniences built right-in, this kitchen still feels remarkably humble with an ‘Old World’ air that also becomes the perfect room to showcase some of your favorite collectables that may have been saved in the past for only dining room display,” states, Achey.
The Town & Country island is a cook’s paradise. The warm hue of a Bisque Stain on Cherry (distressed with Dry Brush Glaze) on the pillars provides a feeling of farmhouse chic. The Century Blue Brushmark Crackle finish on the front panel and back drawers creates the illusion of a piece that has been passed down through generations. Storage abounds in the central island, housing a very accessible Wolf Cooktop, with pots and pans easy to find and ready for use in handy underneath pull-out drawers. Other side drawers keep a sundry of kitchen utensils in precise order. A horizontal knife drawer with two sliding butcher block tiers that overlap and pull out with ease has impressions for each of your chef’s knives and your most important cooking tools.
Modern-day convenience and technology are concealed by Plain & Fancy’s custom finish that boasts of Old World tradition, perfect for those homeowners who appreciate a look of faded elegance but do not want to sacrifice contemporary convenience. The Brushmark Crackle finish is also available is six other custom colors.
Uptown cache is created while showcasing worldly collectables on the ‘town’ wall consisting of mullion-windowed cabinets in Plain & Fancy’s White Wash finish. The tall cabinetry becomes the ultimate space to show off your favorite finds. The bottom half of the cabinetry if outfitted in windowless Cornwall Beaded Inset doors, also in White Wash Finish, perfect for hiding other precious table top goodies. The sophistication of metropolitan living melds perfectly with the country cabinets to make a seamless statement. Modernity is only relevant if it incorporates the best of both worlds.
Open shelving tops a handy plate rack that sits above an under-mount fireclay sink housed in bowed cabinetry and flanked on either side with functional cabinets and ample counter space. Beadboard detailing and Old World tile evoke a rural appeal, as well as the Kent Raised Panel Beaded Inset Door Style. A straightforward style is created for the bottom cabinetry, with an arched version for the upper cabinets. The classic door style lends itself flawlessly to the Brushmark Crackle finish in Century Blue and Tavern White.
The country styling instantly transformed by the durable, functional, yet charming fireclay sink stands the test of time to create a relaxed yet high-end feeling. The antique brass faucet and fixtures, including a matching soap dispenser complete the ‘country’ look with a refined twist.
The Town & Country kitchen truly incorporates the best of both worlds and could easily be outfitted in any dwelling, i.e. a chic townhouse in the city, or just as easily in a large country estate.

Schaefferstown, PA – The latest custom cabinetry inspiration from Plain & Fancy marries two current design trends, Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer. The Safarience trend is known for its rich textures, animal prints and overall rustic appeal. Glimmer of Shimmer reveals shine and sparkle naturally found in metal and glass. The combination of Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer achieves seamless transitional style, offering a softer side to modern.
Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry’s Safarience with a Glimmer of Shimmer kitchen assumes this transitional style with grace. The new “Transition” door style, created in celebration of these combined trends, brings a simple modern look to life. The bold grain of the Walnut cabinetry, accentuated by the rich Cocoa finish, mimics animal prints, while Safari-themed dishware is strategically placed throughout the kitchen.
“Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer combine to form a trend that is cool and warm, modern and traditional. The beauty of transitional design is that it brings a fresh twist to something familiar,” says George (Butch) Achey, president of Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry. “The kitchen remains comfortable and inviting, but without sacrificing design aesthetics.”
The Safarience trend evokes an appreciation for nature and authentic African design elements that have a story to tell, integrating a sense of worldliness into the kitchen. The illustrious Glimmer of Shimmer trend is evident in the kitchen’s aluminum-framed cabinets, stainless sink and brushed nickel hardware. The rich Walnut wood, shimmery glass subway backsplash and clean lines of the “Transition” door combine to form an inviting insight into contemporary, where Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer can truly exist effortlessly and harmoniously.
