I'd probably use solid wood (no frame/panel). I can't tell from your
cabinet pix what the door edges are like but I'd probably make a shallow
rabbet on the outside of the drawer edges so that there was a "panel"
standing slightly proud framed by a less thick border, said border of a
width/depth that looks good with the cabinet doors. I would *not* try to
make a curve in the top drawer. I'd make the drawer faces full overlay and
undercut a bit on the bottom back for an integral pull; IOW, I wouldn't use
any hardware pulls on them.

John:

I think stile and rail drawer faces will look too busy. The doors have a
nice clean look with the flat panels. I'd recommend just using a flat
overlayed panel for drawer faces. See how the drawer faces in this pic:
http://rude-tone.com/bts01.jpg are just raised panels without a frame? In
this cabinet, the doors and drawer faces are beaded inset. For your drawer
faces I'd use a flat panel, overlayed as are your doors. A nice clean look.

Plain satin nickel knobs on the drawers, and knobs with escutcheons on the
doors, would match the fridge, and be in keeping with the clean lines you
have going there.

Just my .02.
