Kitchen is finally done

Well its taken a lot of nights and weekends and some hard work but we've finally got the kitchen completed to the point where it's functional. We finally got the last coats of paint on the cupboards so we could unpack all of our kitchen stuff and use it like a normal kitchen. It felt good when we got to that point. We also had to finish the cupboard doors which we cleaned, sanded, added molding, painted, and added hardware to. We got the molding from Home Depot and had to reduce the thickness of it with a table saw. We put a small chamfer on the edges to finish it off a little more. We were able to go to Plas-Tech a couple times to use a lot of tools like a table saw, nail gun, and router which we were very fortunate to be able to use. Made working on the cupboard doors a whole lot easier. We put some nice satin nickel finish hardware on for knobs and hinges. When we were putting the cupboard doors on one at a time, it felt so good cause we could see it coming together and we could see the end was near. We're very happy with the way it turned out. The only major thing left in the kitchen besides laminate flooring in the future is the backsplash. You can see a picture of what we'll be using. We think it'll finish it off nicely. The color of the cupboards is a greyish silver color but looks kind of white in the pictures. If you look at the older post "Sorry it's been so long", you can see some good pictures of what it looked like before.

was listening to a radio commercial while in vancouver this weekend and it referred to the importance of simply painting your house and how much difference it can make in turning a house into a home. it looks like you have both learned that lesson - looks great in the pics but probably even better in person. good work
love dad
