Owner and Principal Designer Yvonne McLeod is more than an award-winning designer with 25 years of experience. Her company, Amber Light Custom Cabinetry, was inspired by a deeper motivation.
“After my parents divorced, my mother had to work multiple jobs,” recalls Yvonne. “That often kept us from sharing family dinners — a cherished aspect of my early years. Children would rush home from the playgrounds as streetlights illuminated the evening, eager to gather around the dinner table. As a child in a single-parent home, I often found solace in my imagination, waiting for friends to finish their meals so we could sneak in a few more games of hide and seek. I would stroll down the street, captivated by the warm amber light emanating from homes, which sparked my curiosity about the lives within.
“These moments deepened my longing for family gatherings around the dining table — experiences I treasured during visits to my grandparents’ home, filled with laughter and connection.
“This desire to reconnect with the warmth of those amber lights inspired me to establish my own cabinetry company. I aim to help people create spaces that foster a sense of belonging. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, nurturing connection and togetherness. This vision is the foundation of Amber Light.”
