New Venetian Gold

And there it is.......New Venetian Gold with a half bullnose edge.

Stay tuned, Tuesday will be a busy day of finishing up all the small details that the guys can. Set the tile backsplash, install the last few pieces of trim, level the cabinet doors. Then we just have to wait for a couple of replacement doors from the cabinet company to be able to finish completely.

Granite at Edy and Jim's

The techs want to be sure that the granite fits perfectly to the wall. That would be a YES!!! Then they will drill for the faucet and soap dispenser.

The granite is in!!!!

The technicians from the granite fabricator are working on leveling the piece before they do the final installation

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 9

There is not much action in the kitchen this week. The guys are waiting for the granite to be installed on Monday. Then they will get going on the tile backsplash and the finishing work.

Have a great weekend and we'll be back on Monday!!!!

The refridge and stove are back in place now (at least until the granite is installed). The finished end doors look great on the tall pantry also.

Edy and Jim's kitchen days 4 and 5

The new 3 1/4" solid cherry floors are being laid also. Remember that they will darken (or amber) over time so don't worry that they are too light.

We are also adding under cabinet lighting (on a dimmer of course) to enhance the visibility on the work surfaces.

More cabinets, this is a brand new set of cabinets in the eat in area. Great add-on for a small kitchen!!!

Edy and Jim's kitchen days 4 and 5

The guys were very busy setting the cabinets and working on the details of the layout

The tall pantry cabinet. Wow such a large amount of storage!!!

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 3

Wow this was a very exciting and productive morning.
The flooring was delivered so it can acclimate for 72 hours.
The cabinetry was also delivered and we spent some time putting the puzzle pieces together.
(or so I say........a couple of phone calls to Cindy and we were all set)
Most of the cabinets are unpacked and some are being placed this afternoon.
The guys will be setting cabinets the rest of the day today, tomorrow and Friday.

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 2

The guys were busy at work all day working on the new recessed lighting and moving some electrical outlets. There was a lot of patching the ceiling and dry wall mud. New lighting very soon.
That's John on the ladder.

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 1

The guys (you'll meet them tomorrow are John, Ross and Troy) arrived at the job site just around 9am and we reviewed the plans and the details.
They made great progress with the demolition during the day today and we were able to save the old cabinets and countertops for the clients to donate to "Project Mend-A-House". www.pmahweb.org That is our way of going "green" with this renovation.
I will have photos tomorrow for you to see and more updates as the project moves along.
Thanks for tuning in and see you tomorrow:)

We also selected natural American cherry for the floors. That will be so warm and inviting with the glaze accented cream cabinets. More next week!!!!!

The selections for Jim and Edy's Kitchen

These are the items that we have selected for the new kitchen.
New full overlay door cabinets. Full extension drawer glides (wow they can use those back 3 inches in every drawer). Floor to ceiling pantry cabinets, 12 " deep.
Brushed nickel hardware, classic colonial style. Glazed ceramic tile with amber glass accent tile.
