Cabinets, Counter Tops, and Crown Molding...Oh My!

On Saturday, we swung by the house to check on the progress that had been made since our last visit.

We were fortunate enough to have Adam's dad join us on this day, which made the experience all the more special since he had not been by the lot since the day we signed our paperwork.  Needless to say, he was pretty shocked at how quickly everything has moved.

August 12: View from the garage area out to our front street. 

Actually getting into the house this day was a little bit of an adventure. It was raining cats and dogs the night before so the entire front yard had basically turned into one big muddy quick sand box. 

Once we made it in, were blown away to see crown molding, cabinets and more up.  Even the staircase railing was in the beginning stages of being stained and painted.

For the first time, we really started to get a glimpse into how our selections for the house were shaping up. I knew I would love the white cabinets, but was admittedly still a little unsure about the stone counter top selections in the bathrooms. Luckily, they turned out great so no concerns on that end.

I'm hoping that on our next visit, we'll see some tiling, a finished gourmet island and our granite counter tops in.

August 12: Kitchen cabinets and molding are officially in. Gourmet island is still a work in progress.

August 12: It was a nice surprise to see that the kitchen cabinets have pull-out shelves built-into them.
