Woohoo! We have cabinets. They installed them last Monday and Tuesday. Here are some pictures...
The cabinet in the first picture is not the island, it's actually the cabinet that is perpendicular to the sink (the opening next to the dishwasher) in the bottom picture. The wine rack used to be over this cabinet but we relocated it next to the refrigerator. This used to be the desk but we never used it as a desk so we raised it to countertop height and it is now a dry bar. All of the wine glasses, beer glasses, decanters, etc will be stored here.
We've only encountered one "problem" so far and actually, I'm not even sure I can call it a problem. They put the island in the wrong place. We specifically wanted the island in the same place as the original one. The new one is 6 inches longer but it's the same width. Well, they installed it much too close to the sink but it has since been repositioned so all is well. Of course now the electrician needs to move the outlets for the pendant lights so that they are centered over the island. Um, I told him when he put in the new outlets last week that I didn't think they were in the right position and I guess I was right. Anyway, he's going to do this tomorrow.
I had intended to write this blog post yesterday but we were busy putting up Christmas decorations. Yes, in the midst of all of the clutter and mess, there are now Christmas decorations. There are still a few that I haven't put up yet because I'm waiting until I get the dining room back in order after the kitchen is finished. As for the outside, here's what Bill did yesterday...
OK, until next time...
Melanie.. your kitchen is looking great! Send Bill this way when he's done with your lights.. we have a few that need hanging.
