Week 6 Day 4

Today we had 2 carpenters working on the house.  One was installing cabinets in our living room which is semi-below my office.  The noise was loud and of a certain decibel where a coworker thought I was near a cow about to give birth.  I'm not sure that's exactly what it sounded like, but it was unique.  The guys got a kick out of that during our weekly construction meeting.

A small peak of the island taking shape as seen through the door from the hallway.

I need to find a good before/after shot for the wall below.  No more white range/oven combo, wall mounted microwave, and refrigerator.\

Filling in the space as the cabinets wrap around.  The cabinets on all the walls in the kitchen are Bellmont 1900 series in a biscuit finish.  I need to look up the cabinet door style because I don't remember it off the top of my head.

A peak at the rich Bellmont 1900 series Maple Spice stain that will be the cabinets for the island and in the living room.  This picture more accurately reflects the door style than the one above.

 The living room built in is taking shape.  There will be matching cabinets on each side of the fireplace.  The right side will have a floating shelf about half way between the top and the window above (not seen in this picture.)  The doors will be the same spice color as the kitchen cabinets.  If you look close, there are toe kicks to the right propped up in front of the cardboard in Spice.

This is the best shot I could get of my go-to angle of progression since there are cabinets and a refrigerator blocking where I normally stand.

 A double-tier cutlery drawer.  Even the carpenter thought this was cool.  Both tiers are the full depth of the drawer, and the top tier will push all the way back into the drawer so you can access everything underneath as needed.

Built in trash cans and recycling centers.  There are two of these cabinets in the kitchen.  I can't wait to tell you more about one of them in the future as more work in that space progresses.

 Both sink cabinets have this silver mat in the base of them.  It has little dimples that will catch water should there ever be a leak, in this space.  It's a bit futuristic looking in person, but a nice up-grade to protect a space that is often times damaged from water drips, cleaner spills, etc.

All the plumbing fixtures showed up today.  There are faucets, and instant hot, and the big sink in the garage.  This little sink caught my eye in the kitchen because I thought it said Mirabella on it which is where my in-laws live.   I was trying to figure out how something for the Mirabella got delivered to our house. But it's actually the Mirabelle sink, which goes in the island as a prep sink.
