Cabinets Installed!

Another good week...the trim carpenters did so much the first couple of weeks they were essentially stuck until the cabinets arrived. Luckily the cabinets showed up on Wednesday evening so the carpenters got straight to work putting them in.
First some other random completion pics:

We went with some crazy 7" baseboard in the office

The tile in the master bath finally got all installed and grouted

The seat is all done

The floor is done

And all the little detail pieces are in

Here is a shot of the many shelves and racks they did in the master closet

Wednesday evening (around 7pm!) the truck with all the cabinets backed up to the screen porch back door and in came a truckload of cabinetry! It was all organized by room and wrapped in plastic. A lot of the pieces are fully assembled and only need to be screwed into the wall studs.
Cabinets in master bath:

Tons of cabinets in the laundry (probably the most individual cabinets in the house):

They filled up the room!

We had previously seen only small drawings of the cabinets - the real things are huge!

The island is one huge piece that took 4 guys to bring in (back side pic:)

(front side:)

The bookcases ready to install:

The guest bathroom cabinet is nice and small

All of the toilets in the house get lovely cabinets above them to hold important items like extra TP and reading material:

Over the next two days they installed virtually all of the cabinets in the house!
Here's a shot of the bar cabinets:

straight-on shot:

Those tall kitchen cabinets in place (the top doors will get glass door inserts)!

The stovetop and island cabinets:

A view from the breakfast room into the kitchen:

The laundry room takes three separate shots to get all the cabinets in:
1) welcome center and sink area

2) washer and dryer area

3) desk area

Finally a shot of the dresser cabinet in the master bedroom:


Next week the rest of the cabinets and trim will be done, the brick mason will start and the painters will be getting ready. We will be out of town but should have more interesting pics by the end of next weekend when we come back!
