Cabinet Install Day 3 11/7/2008

The Kitchen...
Starting at the Pantry...


Moving past the stove, and the sink...


Around to the other side of the sink, past the dishwasher and trash compactor...



Close up of the corner cabinet and lazy susan...


From the hallway, past the dining table...


Close-ups of the island...

Close-ups of the wine bar...

We're still waiting on a few shelves, doors and touch-ups, but the cabinets are basically done! Obviously, the Rubbermaid tub sink and plywood countertops are temporary (granite due Nov.19th)!

1st Day Cabinet Install 11/5/2008

Well, all the cabinets are here, and the bases are installed!

Here is the island, with all the doors for everything piled on top.




This is where the stove will go. There will be a lazy susan at the corner.


The pantry. (No, it hasnt been shot! The light reflected weird.)

Waiting for Cabinets

Just waiting on the cabinets to arrive! The walls are prepped.

We emptied out the microwave center.

And Rich got the dining room wall finished with Venetian Plaster!!

Now, the installers have about 20 minutes to arrive before Rich goes out to hunt them down! ;-)

(UPDATE: Good news! the guys showed up with the cabinets!! Hooray!)

Working in the hallway- everyone pitches in!

Check it out!! It looks SOOOOO much better!

Now the fun part: cleanup.

What a mess!


Dining Room wall: ain't it cool!? If we'd have known how quickly it would come down, we'd have done this the second day we were in this house!
