November Update

So I haven't posted for a while. The kitchen floor is in, matched great with the original hardwood. The cabinets have started to go in. The butcher block is temporary, probably can't get the granite countertop until May. 

The creme color cabinets are mostly from the kraftmaid outlet. I had to buy a corner cabinet (lazy Susan) from Lowes & Ben, my Amish cabinet builder made me a couple fillers. The violet cabinets are part built by Ben & some from outlets that Ben converted to complete this section. The frig will get violet panels for that built in look. My carpenter here, Josh, has done a fantastic job of putting all the pieces of this puzzle together. I love the crown. So patience is paying off. The bad news is that Ben just told me the custom pieces he's building me for the oven &range top won't be ready until the 2nd week of December, so it looks like no kitchen for me for Thanksgiving :( 

Oh well - everyone tells me - it will all be worth it. I made my 4th trip to the outlets yesterday, didn't get a lot, some trim and a spacer. The mouldings were $5, I couldn't believe it! Until next time...
