Cabinets, doors and details

 

It's so exciting to see some of the finishing work beginning...that means it's getting closer to move in time. I'm ready to start putting our kitchen things in the cabinets and sorting out what goes where, but I guess it's a little too early for that! And it's officially winter here. The heat is on (except for the driveway, which needs shoveling!)

The cabinet installers worked for several days last week getting the kitchen, laundry and bathroom cabinets installed. The cherry in the kitchen is beautiful; it has much more character and warmth than I expected!

The refrigerator will fit in between these cabinets. In the bottom half of the cabinets on the right we have the slide out trays...no more losing canned goods in the back of the cabinet!

The laundry is a darker stain on knotty alder and the master bathroom is the darkest stain on knotty alder. We liked the darker cabinets with the light colored granite that we have picked out.

Here are some shots of the installers hard at work. 

The tile installer has been busy prepping the shower walls The granite fabricator came today to make templates so we are on our way to counter tops and flooring.

The doors are all doug fir to match the windows. We liked the 3 panel doors to be a little different than a standard 2 panel. Looks like the doors all ended up swinging the way we planned. 

 We picked out two pieces of quartzite stone to use as the fireplace hearth. They will go well with the malapai rock that will be on the chimney.

 The pile of stone for the chimney is growing.
