Sunday morning Zac’s dad Craig and our friend Tony came over to help install cabinets. The upper cabinets were installed first, followed by the base cabinets. A strip of wood was first nailed level to the wall so that the cabinets would have a level lip to sit on during installation. Then the cabinets were lifted, shimmed, and screwed together and to the wall. All of it sounds simple, but it’s something that takes all day. Zac then installed the base cabinets over the next few nights. He got them all installed just in time…right before the thin set went on the floor for the tile.
The cabinets are from Home Depot. We kept the same layout of cabinets as the previous layout, but changed the shelves and drawer layouts inside the cabinets. All edge cabinets are the corner-type cabinets. So instead of viewing the side of a cabinet on the very end, there’s a finished front. Plus they look cool. The cabinets are maple with a reddish stain (sorry, I forget the name of the color…cinnamon or rose or something).
