The Light at the End of the Tunnel

It has been a week and a half since I last posted.  This post will again be picture heavy, as last week was the week for deliveries and crews.  The painter should finish up today, cupboards are hung.  The trades (plumbers and electricians) are in this week finishing up the final lines and vents.

With granite sample in hand, my sister and I traveled to Dwyers in Farmington to choose the slabs for the kitchen.  What a beautiful place and pleasant experience. We were finished in a bit over an hour, easy-breezy.  It was good having a sample in your price range, there are so many beautiful slabs there one could easily be distracted.

More Granite, Yikes!!


Granite is difficult to photograph.

Some are quite unusual.

 Our cabinets arrived, on schedule and without incident, they are beautiful.





Our "Made in Michigan" cabinets have arrived.


A crew of two and lots of cabinets.

They come shrink wrapped.

The new Pantry coming through.


Silverware drawer, fabulous!

Beginning of Kitchen layout.

That first corner is quite important.

Inside of cabinets, check out the quality.

This is a pick of my twirly pantry gadget.

Kitchen takes shape.
 Haha, you think, "another purple room"  not really, this is called "Wet Concrete" a brownish grey, the hall is "Silver Fox" a greenish grey.  They are both what I call chameleon color, it looks like a different color on each wall/from each angle.
Other side of kitchen.


Crew sets up island.

Uppers, over the stove.

View down the hall.

Vent going in, hopefully windows soon.

Easy Closets.

These are a few of the boxes of my "Easy Closets".  I found this company on line, so far so good.  The crew is installing the base part of the wall units.  They comment that the directions are excellent and they truly are easy.  I'll blog more about them when I install the components.  That will be after carpeting. I will comment that they have been easy to deal with on the phone, the product arrived quickly and they immediately replaced the ONE defective part the very next day.

Bye for now, I need to go check on the crew;-)
