Cabinets!

We now have cabinets!! Earlier this week we headed up to the house because we needed to bring something up for the electrician and when we walked in I noticed a cabinet in the half bathroom. We saw the truck outside but didn't realize it was the cabinet crew- we thought it was the gentleman doing the trim. Boy were we wrong! We looked in every room and were simply amazed at the craftsmanship of all the cabinets! Countertops and crown molding for the tops of the cabinets will be finished this coming week, but what we've already seen is amazing! The trim and doors have been delivered to site and should be going up this coming week, too! The stone work around the fireplace will be done this week and the painters will return to do a final coat once that is all done. The appliances will arrive next weekend (and one on 12/24) and then the carpet gets installed roughly a week before we move in- it won't be long now! Jeremy went up to get some things and got some pictures yesterday, so here they are:

Here are the built-ins in the study. This should be a great starting point for us to put all of our books out... (I HOPE!!)

This view is looking into the kitchen from the edge of the living/dining room. As you can tell, the countertops are not there, but they will be this coming Friday! I LOVE the woodwork!

Jeremy took this picture to show that the lower cabinets have slide-outs- that sure will make it easier when it comes to getting pots and pans out for cooking dinner!

This view is where the microwave and stove will go. The microwave hood will be delivered this weekend, and the refrigerator will, too. We just have to find the time to get the stove up there since it is currently in our shed... hopefully we can get that up there this weekend, too!

This view of the kitchen is from the doorway into the study. You can see where the sink will go and where the dishwasher will be. The dishwasher should be delivered right before Christmas, so we'll have to get that hooked up- but no biggie there. I'm just looking forward to seeing the kitchen completed!

Here is the other view of the kitchen from the doorway to the study. This is simply cabinets and a counter- I know I'll use the space!!

This is the master bathroom. There will be a sink on each side- it's just going to be double the cleaning duty here...

A view of the front covering the tub in the master bathroom. I can't wait to see this part finished, either!

These are the finished cabinets in the laundry room. This is double the space I currently have... I just wonder if the extra space will stay empty or if we'll actually find something to put up there?

Jeremy got this great picture of the trim stacked up in Megan's bedroom. And this is only about HALF of the trim for the house! The other half is in the living room, but this picture came out looking much "cooler" in my opinion.

Here are the doors for the house. They are currently stacked up vertically against a wall in Michael's bedroom. There are other doors against other walls in the house, but this was a pretty cool picture, too.


Last, but not least, I had to include this picture. I have wanted to get a picture of the back of the house for some time now, but it's been WAY too muddy out there. It happened to be snowing and the yard was pretty frozen, so Jeremy turned on all the lights (not that it's easy to tell) and went out back and got this picture. It just makes the house look so big! Honestly, it's not all that big- it's just the basement that makes it look so huge. The only thing missing from this picture are the lights that go outside the basement doors. Those still need to be installed, but they will be soon. There are still a few finishing touches that need to be done with outlets and such, so those will be done within the next couple of weeks.

I'm not sure when I'll be heading back up to the homesite, but I'm anxious to see what progress is made over the course of this week. Hopefully I can get out there this weekend, but we'll see. Just keep checking back for more updates!
