Artisanal framed inset cabinetry, built to order for your space — North American hardwoods, hand-applied finishes, and Blum® soft-close hardware throughout.
Heritage is St. Martin’s flagship framed inset program — doors and drawer fronts sit perfectly flush inside a solid wood face frame, the most exacting construction in cabinetry, built to order for your space.
Choose from eleven inset door styles and forty-nine hand-applied finishes across paint grade hardwood, paint grade oak, and stained rift white oak, walnut, and cherry — every one of them orderable. To see a color in your own light first, order a $35 St. Martin Vista sample in it: both series run the same finish program. Every order from Captivating Cabinets also includes free 3D kitchen design and nationwide delivery.
The Heritage program offers forty-nine finishes across three collections — smooth painted hardwood, painted open-grain oak, and hand-stained rift white oak, walnut, and cherry. Whether you’re drawn to crisp painted inset cabinetry or the character of natural wood, explore the collection that best matches your project — every finish is hand-applied with water-based brush finishing and multi-stage sanding.
Sixteen hand-applied paint finishes on smooth North American hardwood — from crisp Bright White and Simply White to deep Midnight Blue, Iron Ore, and Simply Black. Water-based brush finishing with multi-stage sanding gives every door a furniture-grade surface.
The same sixteen designer paint colors applied over open-grain oak, letting the natural cathedral grain show through the painted surface for a relaxed, textural take on classic inset cabinetry.
Seventeen stained finishes across rift white oak, walnut, and cherry — from light Sandstone Oak and Natural Walnut to dramatic Carbon Black Oak and Onyx Cherry — each hand-finished to highlight the character of the wood.
Eleven inset door styles span classic shaker, beaded, and clean slab profiles — and every one is available in all forty-nine Heritage finishes, so you can pair any door with any color.

Heritage doors and drawer fronts sit perfectly flush inside a solid wood face frame — the most exacting construction in cabinetry. Behind the inset look is a spec list with no shortcuts: dovetailed solid birch drawers, maple-edged plywood shelves, and Blum® soft-close hardware on every opening.

Common questions about Heritage framed inset cabinets, finishes, and ordering.
Not any more — we no longer stock them. To judge a color before you commit, order a $35 St. Martin Vista sample in the finish you are considering: Vista and Heritage share the same 49-finish paint and stain program, applied the same way by the same hands. What differs between the two series is construction, not color. For the inset look itself, our designers can walk you through door-style renders in your free 3D design.
Inset cabinetry sets the doors and drawer fronts flush inside the face frame rather than overlaying it, so the frame shows as a reveal around every opening. It is the most precise, furniture-like cabinet construction — the signature of the Heritage series.
Heritage offers eleven inset door styles — Clayton, Hampton Square, Montauk, Newport, Bellrose, Lakeland, Lakeland II, Greenfield, Ridgewood, Mystic, and Savannah — spanning shaker, beaded, and slab profiles.
Forty-nine standard finishes: 16 paint colors on smooth paint-grade hardwood, the same 16 on paint-grade oak with visible grain, and 17 stains across rift white oak, walnut, and cherry. Bespoke custom colors are also available.
Solid wood 7/8" face frames and door frames, 3/4" dovetailed solid birch drawer boxes with plywood bottoms, 5/8" plywood sides with maple melamine interiors, 3/4" maple-edged plywood shelves, and Blum® soft-close hinges and undermount full-extension slides throughout.
Yes. Bespoke color customization is available across the full custom collection — each door is water-based brush finished with multi-stage sanding for a hand-crafted, furniture-grade surface.
The 2026 core palette pairs Simply White with Rift White Oak or Washed Walnut, and warm stains like Weathered Walnut or Dark Brown Oak with Simply White perimeter cabinets — a two-tone look that suits inset kitchens beautifully.
