Starling Custom Creations took root in a somewhat unconventional way - ugly cabinets. In love with their new home, Mike and Doreen agreed on one thing, the kitchen cabinets had to go. Disappointed by the poorly crafted prebuilt options on the market, Mike muttered the sentiment everyone has felt at some point, "I can do better than that."

With no prior woodworking experience, Mike began a journey to learn about cabinetry. What he found, along with beautiful, well-designed cabinets, was a new passion for taking ordinary wood and pulling the beauty from within to create functional works of art.
