Inserts

The interior matters as much as the door.

The interior of a cabinet is read every day. It is opened, leaned into, set against. Tier 1 is shop-made by Belle Vie alongside the case. Tier 2 is sourced from Rev-a-Shelf where the mechanism beats anything we would build.

Tier 1

Bespoke, shop-made by Belle Vie

Same wood, same Milesi finish, and same Lamello-assembled frame as the door it lives behind. These are the cabinet, not an add-on to it. Paneled drawer interiors are standard on every Belle Vie kitchen, removed only by request. The rest are part of the design conversation.

Drawer dividers

Solid oak or walnut dividers, dovetailed at the corners, sized to the inside of the Eagle drawer box. Finished to match the cabinet wood.

Rift oak, white oak, walnut, hard maple.

Knife block insert

A walnut or oak block sized to the top kitchen drawer, with hand-cut slots for the client's actual knife set. Recessed flush with the drawer rim so the slots disappear when closed.

Walnut, white oak, hard maple. Slots cut to client knives. Spec'd through partner shop until in-house.

Tray dividers

Vertical solid-wood slots in the upper cabinet for cutting boards, baking sheets, and serving trays. Painted to match the interior or finished as a wood-on-wood reveal.

Paint-grade poplar (painted), white oak, rift oak.

Paneled drawer interiors

A second skin of finished panel inside the Eagle dovetail box, in the same wood and Milesi finish as the door. Replaces the standard plywood reveal at the drawer rim with a flush, finished surface. Standard on every Belle Vie kitchen.

Matched to door wood and finish.

Paneled larder and pantry interiors

Full painted interior on tall pantry casework. Walls, shelves, back panel, and shelf edges all in Milesi paint, in the same color as the doors or in a contrasting palette color.

Paint-grade poplar walls, hardwood shelf edges, Milesi paint.

Peg-board dish drawer

A bottom panel of solid oak with a grid of removable oak pegs. The client moves the pegs to fit their stack of plates, bowls, or platters. Lives in deep base drawers under the run.

White oak, rift oak. Pegs turned in-shop.

Integrated trash pullout casework

The cabinet, drawer-front, and pullout frame are Belle Vie shop-made and finished. The bin glide and bin itself are Rev-a-Shelf hardware. The seam between the two is a deliberate handoff, not a hidden one.

Matched to door wood. Internal hardware: Rev-a-Shelf 4WC.

Vanity drawer with cosmetic dividers

Top vanity drawer fitted with shop-made oak or walnut dividers sized for makeup, brushes, and small bath items. Lower compartment lined in matched wood.

White oak, walnut. Bath vanity application only.

Inset spice rack

A solid-wood spice tier set into the back of a deep drawer or the inside of a tall pantry door, dimensioned to clear the door swing. Bottle slots cut for jars the client already owns.

White oak, walnut, paint-grade poplar (painted).

Cutting-board pullout

A solid edge-grain oak or maple board on a pullout slide, sized to the cabinet bay it lives in. Used as a working surface above the trash pullout or alongside the range.

Edge-grain hard maple, edge-grain white oak.

Lined silverware tray

A second tier of finished oak or walnut dividers above the main drawer divider grid, removable as a unit. Sits on integrated rails inside the Eagle box.

White oak, walnut.

Appliance garage interior

When a client wants the toaster and coffee setup behind a tambour or pocket door, the interior gets the same paneling and Milesi finish as the rest of the kitchen. Outlets placed to disappear into the back panel.

Matched to cabinet finish.

Tier 2

Add-ons, sourced from Rev-a-Shelf

Some problems are mechanism problems. A blind corner needs a pivot. A 36-pound stand mixer needs a spring-loaded lift. These ship pre-finished from Rev-a-Shelf and we install them during build. Common SKUs live in stock at the Somersworth shop.

Lazy susans

36-inch and 42-inch corner cabinets.

Corner cabinets where a full bespoke pullout is not in budget. Polymer or natural wood depending on whether the cabinet opens to a sightline.

Blind corner pullouts

What we do not source from Rev-a-Shelf

Belle Vie does not source from Rev-a-Shelf any item that is visible from outside the cabinet at rest, or any item where the wood and finish are the entire point.

Drawer dividers are always shop-made. Knife blocks are always shop-made, because a knife block sized to a real knife set is a different object than a stock block with stock slots. Pantry interior paneling is always shop-made. Cutting-board pullouts are shop-made in oak or maple.

The rule is short. Mechanism is Rev-a-Shelf. Surface is Belle Vie.

Mechanism matters. So does the wood it lives inside.
