Cabinet Hardware

I ordered hardware for the cabinet doors special ordered from Lowes. I need 53 pulls! I dont think I realized just how many cabinets we will have in the new kitchen. I was hopping that lowes had some longer ones that matched there every-day ones (6 inch ones were only 4.00) but even they looked the similar, the depth was different.

The are similar to the one in the photo. The ones for the bottom the tall cabinets are 13 inches and the rest are 5 3/4 inches.

The Crown

The molding is in place. WOW! I cant believe how nice it looks. What a different look with the molding. Thanks to SG's work on squaring up the room and KG for the hard work in making things look great.

I think we have a winner for the backsplash tile. I am not sure what type of stone it is, but its from the Mordern Mythology line by crossville inc. Its a 2x4 inch stone tile (the one next to the counter sample). Not sure if we will add any details (kind of like the dark rounded bullnose strip, it also comes in a 2x4 in that same color) but still thinking about it. This photo is not that great, the counter material is not rally that dark.

The counter people are comming next week to template the counter, island and desk area.

I also picked out a realy cool looking sink faucet.

Now we need to work on the paint.

The cabinets are almost all installed. Only the island needs to be fixed in place.

View from hallway area, notice NO POLE!! View from living room area.

Now if we could decide on what to use for th backsplash. I like this glass tile that has a slight coke bottle green look. My daughter likes a hand painted subway tile.

More cabinets installed

The wall of 12 inch deep cabinets have been installed.

Lots of boxes still reside in the living room.

Cabinets Arrived

The cabinets have arrived, they have taken up residence with the appliances in the living room. The base cabinets along the window wall have been installed.

Floor completed

The floor is completed and looks great. NO more pink!! The cabinets are being delivered today and work on the base cabinets will begin today. Hopefully we can make the decision on the backsplash this weekend.

Floor Tile

The floor tile is going down and is about half way completed. The reset of the appliances arrived today and are sitting in the living room(aka video game room).

Plaster

Before drywall and plaster!

After drywall and plaster!

The walls and ceiling have been plastered. The patched area in the hallway between the bathroom and dining room looks great, it should not be visible after the ceiling is painted. (Thanks to CJ, my 14 year old daughter who showed me how to edit the html to add photobucket gif .images)

March SNOW

The drywall was completed last end of last week. The plastering was going to be done today but we had around 10 inches of snow last night and the town didnt plow until after 1:00 pm.
