Cabinets...Cabinets...We have Cabinets

Okay - we don't have all the cabinets installed yet, but we're certainly able to visualize what the rooms will look like once they are completed.

This is a quick walk-thru showing some of the cabinets.  It may be a little hard to get a clear picture of the rooms but I tried my best.

Before I get started on the cabinets, here is a picture of the French door that will go into our office/study.  There will be 2 more doors just like this that will go into the formal dining room.

Now...On to the cabinets.  Here is a picture of the bar cabinets (which, for some reason, is Harry's focus).  Once complete, we will have a beverage center, an ice maker, sink, and a wine rack.

Here are the cabinets that will be in my hobby area.

This is the desk that will be in the kitchen area (not really in the kitchen, but just around the corner).  This is where I'll keep my iPad so that I can be in constant communication with the world!

On to the kitchen.  We will have an island in the middle (but that cabinet is not yet complete). 

This is the picture of the cabinets that will face out the back window.  The kitchen sink will be directly below the window.

This is the set of cabinets that will house the double oven and the gas range top.

Now...we enter into the master bedroom.  The first picture is of the vanity in the master bathroom.  We have have 2 of these so that Harry and I won't have to share.

Here is the linen cabinet in the master bathroom.

Here is a partial shot of the shelving in the master closet.

Here is a photo of the utility room cabinets.  It is only one side (the side with the washer/dryer).  The other side will also have cabinets but I couldn't get a picture of them.

Just outside of the utility room is the "mud-room".  This is where Harry will come in and take off his dusty/muddy clothes after working on the farm.

Here are a couple of shots from the upstairs area.  The first one is of one of the vanities from the upstairs bathroom.

This is a picture of the storage cabinets.  We have 2 of these units (one outside of each bedroom).  This is where I'll have the toys for the grand-kids so that they can go upstairs and play.

I saw the painter come in and drop off his painting trailer this afternoon, so I guess he will start painting trim this week.   I'm not sure that the trim guy is ready, so this may move him along a little faster.

I hope everyone out there has an Awesome Week!

First Post of 2012

Okay - we obviously survived the holidays and were once again reminded how blessed we are.  The house is continuing to take shape as the cabinets are being installed, the sheetrock is textured, the trim is going up, and the staircase is be being assembled.  Here are a few pictures to document our progress.

Here is a picture of the cabinets in the utility room.  It was dark when we got out there this evening, so it's not a really good picture.

Here is a picture of the shutters that we'll have on the inside of the windows that are on the front of the house.

 They also dug the trench by the front entrance for the utilities.  They should install the new power pole next week.

Here is a picture of the trim that will be in the more "formal" areas of the house.

And...this shows the early stages of the stairway.  It's the bottom step, the spindles, and the view up the stairs.

Happy New Year to all!!!!!
