New Cabinets

Ok, the installer who's done a wonderful job so far is gone for the day so here are some of the pictures. He'll be back tomorrow to hopefully finish up. He's in a holding pattern for installing some of the upper cabinets while he waits for the HVAC crew to come install the ventilation for the exhaust fan. We've also got some questions for the electrician. So it's looking like e-mail time to the foreman.

The picture to the right is the cabinet for the oven and micro convection oven. The cabinets above will be for the cookie sheets, pizza stone, yorkshire pudding tins. The cabinets to the left are the storage drawers that'll hold the storage containers and upper cabinets.

You looking for more pictures, oh good, cause I've got a few more to share with you. This is the corner piece near the prep sink. The cabinet is nice an deep so it'll be a great place to store the baking goods like flour, sugar etc. There's a small corner piece above that we're not all that sure what we'll store in there. Maybe baking spices like vanilla and nutmeg.

These are the cabinets above the prep sink. They'll have glass insert doors with a craftsman style lead glass. The glass is going to be opaque similar to this bottom cabinet we saw at the design gallery. I've spoken with the kitchen designer and we can order additional glass doors if we decide to after the kitchen is all done. We had decided not to put lights in the cabinets because I didn't think it was all a necessary expense and now I'm wondering if that was the right choice.

Milo managed to get into the kitchen this morning and was able to check out some of the installation before we found out he had escaped. Took a while to get the barriers back in place so he was enjoying checking out the cabinets this evening. He was really unhappy at not being able to get down there and see what the installer was doing. I started to yell at him to get down, but we thought without the counter tops installed he wouldn't understand why he can't get up there. So he and his brothers did a thorough investigation and seemed satisfied.

I really like the light color of the cabinets and I think it'll go great with the colors I've chosen for the kitchen. Poor Mark he's getting so tired of me looking at paint colors. I showed the poor guy some colors last night and all he could say it was great go with it and stop looking.

With the cabinets in over the prep sink we've discovered one of the cam lights is in the wrong place and will have to be moved. I think we'll also have them install another cam over by the bathroom since that area seems to be bit dark.

Stay tuned there's more to come.
