Cabinet Doors

We've been tasked to pick out the design of the cabinet doors for the kitchen. Once this decision is made, 1 door will be ordered and given to the interior decorator. From that door, and an interview, she'll know our style and begin shopping for elements of the house. So, no pressure on this decision.
We are going with Crystal Cabinets. As I've stated before, we're going for a "Craftsman Style" house. Based on that, Dave the builder (no relation to Bob) suggested that we avoid miter cuts (45 degree joints) and stick with box cuts (90 degree cuts). Along with the door design, we need to decide on wood and color. We like the look of both the Red Oak and the Alder, which is convenient because those are both the least expensive woods available (inexpensive, not cheap, is our motto.) If you look at the featured home on Thomas David's web site, the kitchen cabinets in that house are Alder.
