Once the counter tops, plumbing, and appliances were in place it was time for me to fill the cabinets and set other things in place. I had given a lot of thought throughout the process of what would go where.
Pantry with interior shelf and vinyl flooring for liner. I trimmed the area around the magnetic latches so the liner lays flat.
Pantry with stuff.
Dishes I use most are on these shelves.
Top drawer on the left has spices and other small items.
Mixing bowls and measuring cups get their own drawer.
Ikea bins hold miscellaneous items. I got this idea from Chez Larsson’s blog. I’m very disappointed that she stopped blogging. She had such great ideas.
Open access for trays, racks and pans.
Pots and pans are easy to get when there are no doors.
While I was organizing the cabinets the carpenters and painter were taking care of other finishing. We had to wait for the butcher block to arrive before they could finish the baseboards and other details.
Door jamb and casing being installed. Note that the baseboard, cap, and shoe need to be finished.
The rail fitted through one of the maple brackets.
Butcher block and small shelf.
Butcher block is in, baseboards are painted and the floor sports a denim rag rug.
We still have more to do in the kitchen, primarily in the garden window. We still have not decided how to fit in a soapstone counter in the space. Maybe I will devote a post to that topic.
A couple other items are outstanding from the cabinet maker. And I have to apply finish to the windowsill under the triple windows and fill all the nail holes in the maple brackets and door jamb.
Oh, and the radiator under the big window needs to be installed. We are waiting until the mudroom is ready for its radiator.
