Galaxy Pistachio Green wall cabinets with drawers: building a counter hutch
Reviewed September 2026 · Captivating Cabinets
Four boxes live on this page, and all of them stand on the worktop rather than hanging above it: GPG WD1848, WD1854, WD1857 and WD1860, 18 inches wide, 12 deep and 48 to 60 inches tall, from $796.25 to $926.25. In Galaxy Pistachio Green they are the nearest thing the catalogue has to a piece of furniture — a painted hutch built into the counter — and the best way to plan one is to stop thinking of it as a wall cabinet at all. Think of it as half of a pair, sitting on a surface, with a job to frame something.
What the shelf packs tell you about the inside
The listings describe a wall cabinet with drawers and stop there. They do not publish how many drawers each height has or how the front is split. But the rest of the catalogue fills in more than you would expect. The loose-parts list sells adjustable shelves made specifically for this box — one shelf at $37.05 (GPG AS-WD18), and packs of two at $78.00 and three at $113.75 — and you do not make shelf packs for a cabinet that is nothing but drawers. The line’s own descriptions put the drawers at the bottom, under a door.
So read it as a two-part object: a bank of drawers at counter level, where your hands already are, and a shelved cupboard above it that runs up to the top line of the room. That is the anatomy of a traditional kitchen dresser, and it is why these boxes plan so much better in pairs and at the ends of runs than they do as a single tower mid-counter.
| Part | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| GPG WD1848 | 18″ × 48″ × 12″ tower | $796.25 |
| GPG WD1854 | 18″ × 54″ × 12″ tower | $877.50 |
| GPG WD1857 | 18″ × 57″ × 12″ tower | $880.75 |
| GPG WD1860 | 18″ × 60″ × 12″ tower | $926.25 |
| GPG AS-WD18 | One extra adjustable shelf | $37.05 |
| GPG AS-WD18-2 / -3 | Two-pack / three-pack of shelves | $78.00 / $113.75 |
| GPG SK WD | Finished end skin for one side | $169.00 |
A small catalogue wrinkle worth knowing: there are two single-shelf listings for this box, GPG AS-WD18 at $37.05 and GPG AS-WD18-1 at $37.70. We have not seen anything that says they differ. If you are ordering one extra shelf, ask which one you need rather than guessing — and before you buy any, check how many shelves ship in the box at your height, which the listing does not state.
A hutch is usually two towers and something between them

One tower on a counter can look like an afterthought. Two of them, framing a centre, look like a decision. The centre is what you are really designing, and there are four that work well with an 18-inch tower on each side:
A window
The classic dresser elevation: drawers and cupboard either side, the window between, a sill-height counter running under all three. The towers give the window a frame and give you storage that would otherwise have to go in uppers you did not want to hang across the glass.
An open unit
Hang a 30-inch open shelf unit between them and you have a full hutch. The two-hutch arithmetic is simple here: a 54-inch tower on a 36-inch counter tops out at 90 inches, and so does a 36-inch-tall wall box hung on the usual 54-inch line. GPG WOS3036 is $672.75, so the set of three is $2,427.75 before skins. The unit is on the open shelf page.
A coffee or bar machine
The machine sits in the middle, the drawers either side hold what it consumes, and the cupboards above hold cups and glasses. This is the pairing that earns its keep every morning.
A range, with care
Towers either side of a cooktop look handsome and are a real commitment: they narrow the landing space on both sides and put painted cabinet sides next to the heat. If you want to do it, leave generous counter between the burners and the towers and let the hood, not the towers, be the tallest thing on that wall.
Count the sides that show before you count the cost
A tower has two sides at eye level, and in a hutch layout at least one of them is usually exposed. Flanking a window, the inner sides face each other across the glass and both show. Flanking an open unit, the inner sides are covered but the outer ones may not be. At the end of a run against a return wall, one side is hidden and one is not.
Each exposed side takes GPG SK WD at $169.00. On a pair of 54-inch towers that is the difference between $1,755.00 and $2,093.00 with two skins, or $2,431.00 with all four. Put the skins on the same order as the boxes so the colour comes from one batch — on a painted finish, a skin ordered later is the most visible place in the kitchen to discover a slight shift.
A painted hutch is an old idea, which is why green suits it
Painted dressers in soft greens are one of the longest-running looks in kitchen furniture, and a gray-sage tower reads in that tradition rather than as a new trend. That matters for the resale worry most people have about a green kitchen: two towers are a limited, contained use of the colour, and they read as a furnishing choice rather than as a whole room committed to it.
Three things decide how the pair looks. The counter they stand on: marble or a warm white makes the green crisper, butcher block makes it softer and more rustic, and the join between tower and counter is visible for the full width, so choose the stone with the towers in mind. The hardware: knobs on the doors above and cup pulls or bars on the drawers below is the dresser convention, in brass for warmth or black for contrast. And the light: hold a door sample ($25.00) on your own counter at the end of the day, because warm evening light pushes a gray-sage toward yellow and the towers are something you will look at in every light.
Filling the two halves
The drawers run on Tandem plus Blumotion full-extension slides with ⅝-inch dovetailed solid-wood boxes, the same as the base drawers in this line, but they are only as deep as a 12-inch cabinet allows. Keep them for small, flat, frequently used things: cutlery and serving spoons, napkins, tea, coffee pods, measuring tools, chargers.
The shelved half above is where the extra shelf packs earn their price. Glasses and cups stack short, so a 60-inch tower with only the shelves it ships with often wastes height between them; an extra shelf or two at $37.05 to $113.75 turns that into another row. Plates and bowls sit comfortably on a 12-inch-deep shelf; platters wider than about eleven inches will not. And the top shelf of a 60-inch tower on a 36-inch counter sits well above head height — store the things you use at parties up there, not the things you use at breakfast.
Getting a hutch drawn and ordered
Measure the finished counter height, not the nominal one — a thicker slab moves every tower top with it. Decide the centre first, then the tower height that meets the top line around it, then the sides that show. Confirm the drawer layout and the shelves that ship at your height with us before ordering.
A free 3D design will draw the elevation with the pair, the centre and the skins in place; a designer replies within one business day and the full design and quote follow within 24 to 48 hours. Boxes arrive pre-assembled, typically in 7 days to 3 weeks. If the towers are part of a bigger remodel, the base cabinets they stand on and the wall run around them are one click away, contractors get 20 to 40% through Captivating Pro, and the whole finish is on the collection page.

Common questions
- What is a wall cabinet with drawers?
- A narrow cabinet that stands on the counter and runs up to the top line of the wall cabinets, with drawers low and a shelved cupboard above. In this finish it comes 18 inches wide and 12 deep, in 48, 54, 57 and 60-inch heights, from $796.25 to $926.25.
- Can I buy extra shelves for a WD cabinet?
- Yes. The loose-parts list sells adjustable shelves made for the WD18: one shelf at $37.05, a two-pack at $78.00 and a three-pack at $113.75. There is also a second single-shelf listing at $37.70; ask which you need before ordering.
- How many drawers does the wall cabinet with drawers have?
- The listing does not publish the drawer count or how the front is split between drawers and door, and it may differ by height. Confirm it with us before ordering, particularly if you are pairing two towers and want them to match exactly.
- Should I use one tower or two?
- Two, in most kitchens. A pair framing a window, an open unit or a coffee machine reads as a designed hutch. A single tower works at the end of a run against a wall, where it has something to lean on visually; in the middle of a counter it tends to look like an obstruction.
- How much does a finished side cost for these towers?
- GPG SK WD is $169.00 per side. A pair flanking a window usually needs two, so a pair of 54-inch towers comes to $2,093.00 with skins. Order skins on the same order as the boxes so the paint comes from one batch.
- Will a green hutch hurt resale?
- A pair of towers is a contained use of the colour and reads as furniture, which is the least risky way to bring green into a kitchen. A buyer who dislikes it is looking at two boxes, not a whole room. Judge the shade from a door sample in your own light before committing.
