Welcome to Cabinet Town

What a transformation this week! I feel like I say that every post but wow...who knew cabinets and trim could make SUCH a difference? When we met with the cabinet maker about a month ago, he took measurements and then sent us the drawings I posted a few weeks back. We never even got a sneak peak at them the whole time he was making them and then Tuesday, they just...showed up. Are you ready??

The kitchen cabinets are AMAZING. The bathrooms and utility cabinets are great too but seriously, the kitchen is perfect. It had everything we envisioned - pull outs for brooms/mops/spices/trash & recycle bins, the most beautiful vent hood, hardly any "traditional" cabinets and mostly deep drawers that fully extend. No more digging for pots and pans!! Can't.freaking.wait. 

The trim guys also got started this week putting in all the interior doors, crown molding, baseboards, closet shelves and rods, and the box beam ceiling in the office. We had planned on them doing the beams for the living room too but they are so long and heavy they needed a lot of support so the framers had to come back out and put those bad boys in but they were super fast and got that done on Friday. They still have a list of things to finish, including a window seat in the master, beadboard in the half bath, trim around the living room beams and some more crown...because they ran out since I wanted so much. :) But here's what it looks like so far with all the cabinets/trim. 

Jack/Jill bath and bedrooms

Master bedroom and bath. Cady likes the patio view already.

The master closet, because everyone needs 3 tiers of hanging racks and 3 dressers in their closet.

There has been a HUGE pile of trash out behind the patio for at least a month now because the framers and the sheetrock crew didn't put it all in the dumpster. So...we had to either pay someone to come out and clean it or get to work. So today, we spent about 5 hrs out there cleaning all that up (after Rob relocated the dumpster closer to the pile) and filled up the entire thing with just what was behind the patio. Whew. It looks SO much better now though. I think my back is going to hurt tomorrow. I also mowed for the 3rd time in my life (all 3 times were on this lot). Hopefully we'll see that in the next time lapse video. 


They weren't able to start brick last week because the last job had some rain delays but they will be starting tomorrow morning!  I know I said I'd cover paint/tile in this post, but I figured I would wait until the next post for that since they're coming this week to start on both!! That way you can see it all on the walls/floors instead of just what sherwin williams tells me it's going to look like and a couple of tiles shoved together on the floor.

Ok...maybe a sneak peak of the paint. Just a little one. Hope that holds you over another week!
