the kitchen cupboards are in

The day you've all been waiting for, or more aptly, the day I've been waiting for. It's been a year and a bit with no kitchen cupboards, countertops or dish drainer. I've used folding tables, the floor, plastic shelving units, a laundry tub and a massive rubbermaid (with the lid upside down for drying dishes). It's been all right but I'm for sure ready for the next stage which is called, cupboards with no countertop or hardware:P We also plan on installing a ceiling fan (IT IS HOT), range hood and two windows up above the cabinets flanking the stove. It'll come- Aaron has some ideas so it might be awhile but it'll be worth it.

By the way- the best thing ever?? Standing in one spot making a meal with EVERYTHING YOU NEED WITHIN REACH. Ohhhhhhhh my land! Delightful!

The cabinets are Kraftmaid, maple wood, chestnut stain and an onyx glaze.

(Please ignore the random red vase perched up there, I forgot to take it down.)

Looks awesome!
We were going to do concrete (they look really cool) but decided our to-do list is too long to add something else to it.

Beautiful kitchen! What are you putting after every second tile on the floor? I love slate!

Angelina Lynn said...

Mrs. J- You can either pour concrete countertops in place or in forms outside. I think we're going to do them outside.... Aaron's the one calling the shots on that though! Rachelle- The skinny rows are also slate they are just strips of like 1.5"x1.5" tiles.
