getting closer…

I was on vacation last week and spent most of the time working on the kitchen and made real progress.  It took a bunch of time to assemble and varnish the last four doors.  The first door, the largest in the kitchen, is at the end of the peninsula and opens into the dining room.  It’s on the left in the photo.

Inside the cabinet is another set of the same pull-out wire racks  we used in the microwave cabinet.  Su has already filled these with cookbooks!

The second door is for the corner cabinet.  this one required special hinges so that you can access the pull out shelves inside.  The other two doors completed this week will go on the built in cabinet on the wall to the left of the fridge but those will have to wait until I have a chance to build matching frames.

I also installed LED under cabinet lights to the left of the microwave cabinet and to the right of the fridge. They came out quite nicely if I do say so myself.

If you're real observant you noticed that I spackled over the flaws in the back splash and sealed it with a quick coat of primer. It looks much cleaner and brighter now.
