Good thing we’ve got a mudroom…

…because we have plenty of mud…thanks to a lot of rain and the lack of grass on the side of our yard…

 

All the cabinets are in…

All the kitchen cabinets are in and set…we have a lot of trim work to do and we have to get the countertops going, but it looks great considering the significant challenges the not so square walls in the kitchen presented.

    

Wrapping the beams

Time to hide all the structural support beams that run through the kitchen and common area.  We found some nice Arkansas Pine (from Texas, no less) that will transition nicely with the Southern Yellow we are using on the wall in the kitchen area and in the ceiling in the entry way.

 

More kitchen progress…

     

A door…in a pocket…

 

Kitchen moving along…

The base cabinets for the main part of the kitchen are set and we’ll hopefully hammer out the top cabinets in the next day or so…

  

Cabinet time…

…managed to get a couple of the cabinets in so we can check all our lines and figure out the best way to make the base cabinets run true…it isn’t much yet, but it looks great while the rest patiently wait…

 

Another day…

…more architectural details…the trim work over the fireplace and two stage built in are complete and we’ve started to flesh out the trim around the knee wall bookcase between the living room and entry way…we’ve been busy getting ready to install the kitchen that this is all the woodwork we managed to get done today.

   

  

It’s a mantle…

Another day, some more progress…the cedar beams are in to create the mantle and the last bookcase has been built!

  

More fun with trim…

Things are starting to move a little quicker…we’ve got the tongue and groove ceiling up, some baseboard work done and another bookshelf built…not bad for a Monday…
