Cabinets 2.0

Sara and I were able to go out to the house together Tuesday night and see a lot more movement inside on the cabinets and trim.

Sara is looking at the kitchen island here. Yesterday when I was out at the house it was in two pieces. We had them put routered tops on the backside of the island so we can use what would otherwise be dead space. Sara is playing around with the doors because we put blue motion slow close on the doors and drawers in the kitchen.



The put together the cabinets above the hearth today. The open looking doors in the center on the top will have glass. Our first cabinet drawing had all of these the same height. I'm very glad we got some definition to the kitchen by having them vary the heights on the cabinets. It is really coming together nicely.







This is a big locker area in the mudroom off of the garage. We'll have coat hangers in the open area, and will be able to store stuff in the part up top. The bottom is open for those pairs of shoes we choose to keep in the house.


The top of the stairs is coming together. This wasn't done yesterday.



They also put the laundry room together today. We'll have counter top across the washer and dryer. There is a sink next to the door, and we'll have a bar to hang close from the upper cabinets to the wall by the door.





After we went to the house, we did a whirlwind tour (actually, Tuesday AND Wednesday nights) to Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, Village (yes, after all of our selections, one of our tiles was back ordered for a few months) and Sherwin Williams. I'm 99.9% sure we picked out our stain. And we've purchased nearly all of our lights now.

We even ran into our builder Tom at the Home Depot Tuesday looking for lights for his new cabin in Wisconsin.
