CabiNETS!

We have drawers! and some cabinet panels! It's kinda looking like a kitchen!

Early on in our project, we had met with one of the project managers, that for some reason always referred to cabinets as cabiNETS with the emphasis on the last syllable. We never asked him why (I'm not aware of any dialect differences, I believe he's from MN) but it always stood out to us, so now I can't really say the word without thinking that in my head!

Above is the sink wall - the sink will go just underneath the window, and the dishwasher will be just to the right of it. The open upper area to the far right is where our microwave will go. 

Below is the range wall - the range will go in the middle of the 3 cabinets on the left. The refrigerator will be in the taller empty cabinet to the right.

Below is our window seat. It is flanked with cabiNETS that will have glass on the top (that's why the backs are finished) and doors on the bottom. The curved valance over the top is meant to reference the arch on the opposite wall, and will have puck lights in it shining down on the window seat.

In any case, we seem to be on the home stretch - just 2 and 1/2 weeks until our end date, and although both the cabinets and the painting are behind schedule, they both have plans to catch up.

Meanwhile, the lighting still has not been shipped, and although I'm nearly in daily contact with the company, I don't really have an ETA, just that the "factory is behind".

At this point it is a little surreal, seeing all the things we've been thinking about for so long, and seeing only on paper, finally coming to life!
