Cabinets Ordered!

We waited until they were running the Memorial Day sale, then ordered our kitchen cabinets!  Although it didn't make for the most exciting way to spend our holiday weekend, it saved literally thousands, just by waiting until that weekend!

Here's the print outs of the plans... the windows aren't the right proportions, and the walls aren't going to be green, so disregard that stuff! 

View from the seating area, and just to the right of the back door.

The main thing we wanted was for the hood & stove area to look like a hearth.  The hood has a ledge that I can put platters & decorate .  We also loved having the small upper cabinets for storage in our last house's kitchen.  They were so useful, so we knew we wanted to do that again.

In the far back corner, we put additional cabinets.  We were thinking we'd use the antique butler's pantry cabinetry here, but since that will fit in a U shape, in the area behind the stove wall, we had to pick something else for this nook.

More funkiness with the computer program for the photos below, but it gives you an idea...

That empty area on the right will have our table (corner banquette?)... we still have to find & purchase that.

To the left of the fridge will be the door to the basement.  To the right of the cabinets is the doorway into the dining room & butler's pantry.

It normally takes 4-5 weeks for the cabinets to be made, but we won't be ready for them so we put a delay on the delivery.  They are going to give us a call in another two weeks to see how it's moving along.

We still have to pick out the countertops. We have a good idea of what we want, but don't need to order that for a while yet.  (I'm hoping we can wait to see if there's a good Independence Day sale!)
