It's cabinet week! The cabinetmakers moved in all of our new cupboards and units last Tuesday, and have been working on installing them ever since. As of today, they've nearly finished, and have probably only one day's work left. I've updated the photo diary with new pictures, showing the work that's been done.
I'm really happy with how everything is looking. The best thing about custom cabinetry is the perfect fit with the space, and the finishes. The crown moulding has turned out great, as have the furniture bases on the cabinet runs. The colour that I went with ("Cloud White" by Benjamin Moore) was a good choice, too - warm and creamy. The new galley kitchen seems slightly claustrophobic, since we've gone from an open space to floor-to-ceiling cabinetry - it feels a bit canyon-like in there at the moment! But I'm sure it'll be great once the countertops and lighting are in, and everything is finished. And cooking in there is definitely going to be super-efficient.
Last Thursday, the countertop installer came in to template for our new quartz countertops, so we expect those to be delivered in about three weeks. In the interim, we need to have the electricians back to install our appliances and finish the lighting, and the plumber back to hook up the dishwasher, and install the tap and water supply to the sink. There's also the cabinet hardware and door/window trim to sort out, and backsplash tile to be chosen. So while we've passed a major milestone this week, there's still lots to come.
