Lola -- Welcome to the forums!

Take a look at StacyLu's or jgsearls' Progress Blogs in the Progress Blogs forum. They've each got the birch effect frames with Adel Medium Brown doors. Also, in the Finished Kitchens Gallery on the Fansite side of things (click on Home in the upper right corner, then navigate to Finished), take a look at evaperconti's Adel Birch kitchen...she used birch frames with no cover panels, so you can see how closely the frames match the birch finish in Adel.

Thank you so much for the kind welcome!

Actually, the OP is my hubby and we are so confused as what to do regarding color, wood type, etc! These forums are a wonderful resource for us!

Found this through your "similar threads" which "rock"

EVA
if I could ask a few questions about your birch kitchen I will use adel)
1. Is there a posting of cabinets available in birch?
2. In one picture there are bookshelves over cabinets. Is that also a birch frame?
3.Do the birch frames match other Ikea Birch stuff like narrower shelving?
4. On the back of your island I noticed seating. How deep is that ledge? And is it adequate?

Thanks
Paul

BTW what do you think of birch and Numerar grey?

Re: Birch effect frame - what does that mean?

Paul, in case Eva doesn't see this, you may want to start a new thread with her name in the title to catch her attention. I believe the bookshelves in her kitchen are Billy bookcases with doors on the bottom part.

Re: Birch effect frame - what does that mean?

Gloria: You're right - the bookcases in Eva's kitchen are billy bookcases with the birch doors on the bottom only. Also note - Eva's kitchen is Nexus birch (I have adel birch in my kitchen).

Got it!

1. Is there a posting of cabinets available in birch?

I believe all are available in birch with the exception of the horizontal wall cabs. You can successfully cover the horizontals with maple contact paper to match, though...there's a thread on it.

2. In one picture there are bookshelves over cabinets. Is that also a birch frame?

Those are Billy bookcases with the doors on the lower half.

3.Do the birch frames match other Ikea Birch stuff like narrower shelving?

They match Billy birch!

4. On the back of your island I noticed seating. How deep is that ledge? And is it adequate?

It's 10 1/2 inches, and it is fairly adequate. It was supposed to be 12 which is what I would recommend as a comfortable minimum.


Thanks
Paul

Pretty!
