We were able to get a fair amount done on our kitchen project over the past week. Probably the biggest thing is that we ordered the floor & countertop. Much of the weeks work involved mundane things like pulling up the old base boards but we did get more spectacular looking things done this weekend. On Saturday Ben came by and helped us install a new light fixture above the window and a dimmer switch that controls both the new light and the lights over the range that we installed last week.

Looks pretty good with the lights dimmed down, don’t you think? While Ben was working on the lights Andy was banishing squeaks from the kitchen by running a whole bunch on deck screws through the floor into the joists below and I was installing pull out wire shelves in the lower section of the microwave cabinet.

We’re quite impressed with these shelves, so much so that we’re planning to get a second set to put in the space above the microwave. (Yes, it will fit – honest.)
Sunday’s project was to install drawer fronts, a full dozen of them. We still have four more drawer fronts that need to be installed but they need to be cut to final size and finished first. Just another item on the to do list.

As you can see we’re already starting to fill the cabinets. Were you wondering about the tape on the drawer fronts? We stuck these on as visual aids to help us choose drawer pulls!

It's really coming together now! The countertops are going to make a huge difference. Are you planning on painting the walls?
I will paint but that will be nearly last after I see how the floor, work-tops and back-splash all look together. ~M
