Day Forty Eight and Forty Nine: Here comes the cabinets.

Continuing to move forward with the kitchen, we've installed the new overhead light fixture (above).

Okay, joking aside, it was a very productive weekend. I installed the light bulb because we took down the previous light fixture so we could paint the room. A coat of primer and two coats of paint later, the room is ready for cabinets. Which was Sunday night's task.

We installed the rails and the corner cabinets. To put this in perspective, the sink will be on the wall on the left, and a long counter with the dishwasher will be on the right. But we had a bit of a measuring problem... when we measured the room, taking into account the soffet (sp?) on the far right (just out of the picture), we measured the bottom part. The bottom part is smaller than the top, which meant we couldn't fit the cabinets we wanted on the wall (the wall above on the right). So we'll take this opportunity to come up with a creative solution, either shelves, or a narrower cabinet. E is going to Ikea in a couple weeks so we'll see what we decide.

And to get a better view of the paint, here's another angle (you can also see that darned top-heavy soffet on the left).

It's kind of hard to tell from the photos, but it's just a shade off of white towards gray. I think it's going to look great once all the cabinets and counters are in place.

So tonight will be putting in the rest of the wall cabinets on the rail above, and hopefully getting the cabinet above the oven installed. We'll also probably start busting out some of the base cabinets. Which all contributes to the room starting to feel, well, like a kitchen. Go figure.

And go Tribe.
