Installing kitchen cabinets and appliances

The cabinets will be painted in place, matching the color of the beams. The island countertop will be fabricated from the same local wormy maple that is on the floors. We’ll repeat the grey tile used elsewhere for the countertop by the induction cooktop and the wall behind it. One missing cabinet above the stove vent is on re-order from Thomasville, which participates in an environmental stewardship program (though our main motivation was finding unfinished cabinets in a rush!).

27 feet of cabinets

Thanks again, Bill Stratton Building Company, for donating this set of oak library cabinets salvaged from another home. They will become our long workspace upstairs for Susan’s office and homework space for the children. Free is good, and the chance to be a little greener in our building is great.
