Well done sir! And good luck that they "stick."

Impressive fix. I would be happy with that if it were my kitchen

I rather like it. The center piece helps the doors emphasize the vertical aspect of the cabinet, and it better suits the space. It's a large piece. Without the thoughtfully conceived design element, the cabinet would look almost monolithic, even with the panels.

I like that description. I'll have to repeat that to the customer if she decides she would rather have "regular" doors.
I've since heard that she asked her friend and neighbor, who's a woodworking friend of mine, to make wooden pulls for the doors. I take that as a sign they are staying.

One more update. The handles I used on the doors were the same as in the rest of the kitchen, but no one thought they looked good on these doors (see photo above). So my friend made some new ones for them from rosewood, I think, with brass inlays. I like these handles much better. More importantly, my client likes the handles and the doors. I like that she paid me, too.
