So I had mentioned in a previous post about the cabinet guy I was going to use to furnish cabinetry for the house. I took some time on my lunch today and ran up to see a sample of the cabinets and meet with him about my order. I really liked what he was offering, made some slight changes to the order and am putting the deposit through tonight. Since the pantry/towel cabinet in the hall bathroom (where the closet was moved out of the hall) needs to be done before the drywall is wrapped up, I’ll pick up my first cabinet tomorrow. The rest should arrive in just over a week. I grabbed a couple shots from his website of a kitchen that has the same cabinet finish (and granite) that I’m doing in the 70’s house. It’s a natural finish knotty alder.
Since I’ve removed the sofit in the 70’s house, the top cabinets will have a nice 3″ crown around them, rather than how they are pictured here.
For a nice contrast, I’m having the island in the kitchen painted black. I’m also having the vanity in the master bathroom painted black as well. It mixes things up a bit. Here’s what the black finish looks like:
i think the black cabinets look really sharp. nice choices!
