Boomer,
Here are the cabinets and drawers in our kitchen.
There are no raised panels on the drawers. We made a slight error with the knobs on the drawers. It was suggested that we put only one, in the center. We disregarded that advise because of aesthetics, but we were wrong, there should be only one. People pull from the center with one hand.
You will also notice that we opted to have one cabinet a different color. Our pantry on the end of the kitchen is totally different, and we think it looks great. We get lots of positive comments from visitors.
