Cabinets!

And so the cabinet installation began with the lonely refrigerator enclosure as you saw at the end of my last post. The rest of the cabinets were brought into my living room and/or brought in piece by piece off the truck for installation.

And for the next few hours, or should I say from 9:45 am to about 5 pm, they were slowly installed.

 Piece by piece they put them in. Man they were sooo meticulous!

 All of them were made to be perfectly level. If they were even a hair off in either direction, they would adjust them until they fit in like a glove.

So later that afternoon, it started to look muuuuch more like a kitchen than a blank slate!

 Hopefully when the cabinet guy comes back tomorrow to finish the rest of the cabinets, he will have the glass doors finished to install for my display cabinets.

I love how the canned lights fit perfectly with the cabinets and make them glow beautifully. And man, the granite just ties everything in together like a glove. I have to admit, and brag a little, that my kitchen is freaking gorgeous.

Tomorrow the 2nd part of the cabinet installation will commence. That includes the 2 upstairs hallway linen cabinets, my make-up vanity in the bedroom, and all final touches with trim.

 Hallway cabinet #1. This one we added into the house, so he had to build the entire compartment and face for it.

 Hallway cabinet #2. This one only required a new face since there was already an existing linen cabinet there.

And the alcove/niche to the left is where my make-up vanity will go. Also there will be a light installed above it where you can currently see a hole.

Tomorrow I'll put up pictures of the granite. It's simply stunning! The sinks look great and I can NOT wait to be able to start using them!

Back to work tomorrow as well. Ahh!! In less than a week this "work zone" will officially be my home!
