Cabinets

The first delivery of cabinets made its appearance last week.  Here you can see the back row of cabinets, with the boxes for the island (between the columns) to the side.



Here they are up close and personal.  That gap is where the stove will go.  The appliances are scheduled to be delivered next week (thank you tax free holiday!) but I will be calling to postpone that - still too much to do and we don't need to be storing them and then trying to move them around as the floors are finished and walls are painted.

I'm very excited about the backside of those shelves -- not only will they be the right height to perch on if you're checking out a show or listening to a bass performance in the stage area, but they have some great drawers as well.  Now that technology has eliminated the need to store cassettes, videos, or cd's, I guess we'll just have to put some warm blankets and extra pillows in there.  

The front boxes and wall are in as well.  Countertop and granite is chosen, so that is all in process. 



Another nice detail I'm excited about is the shelving at either end of the island.  If the kids deign to do their homework at the end counter as planned, it ought to provide some nice camoflage for those papers.

 

So here is the view from the 'back' door - lacking the countertops and back counter, but it's really starting to feel like the final space!

Almost ready to pull up a stool. Certainly ready for that drink!
