Cabinet Base-ics

Still a ways to go, but base cabinet delivery and installation means that the dirtiest of the dirty work is behind you! Once demolition has been completed, and new walls are framed, the cabinet shop will come in to take final measurements to begin production on the boxes. In this project, the cabinets are solid wood, and the final finish will be painted. A paint-grade wood vs. stain-grade will affect the cost of finished cabinetry. Often, painted cabinetry will be well suited for a vintage (or vintage-feel) home. Here are some of the cabinets in place...or close.

Here is the base for the kitchen island, not yet slid into place. And here is the cabinetry that will house the stacking ovens. Of course the real personality comes through when the counter tops and doors are installed, but even with just the bases, you really start to get a feel of the space and how it will work. Cabinet doors are generally one of the last things installed in a renovation, in order to reduce damage to the finish. Progress in other areas to follow!
