Cabinets

The cabinets were installed this week. The wood is quarter sawn white oak with a slight glaze, again, my pictures don't provide true color rendition. The drawer slides are the kind that will softly close the drawer when you attempt to slam it closed and will pull it closed for the last 2 inches. The manufacturer of the slides is Blum if anyone cares. The granite people will come to do the templates Tuesday and in about 3 weeks, if all goes well, we should have counter tops. The pulls are "antique brass" done in an Arts and Crafts motif which is the theme we have running through out the house. It seems to work well with the Southwest sytle, at least, that is what the fashionistas have told me.

The north and west walls.





The east wall.



The south wall.









Here are the master bath cabinets. All the cabinets in the house are the same. The tile guy set the tub in place, but it isn't permanently affixed yet. He has also started working in the showers.







This is the guest bath.



Finally, here is the boiler that will heat the house once it is installed. We could have used it this week because the night time temperature was in the teens and twenties Wednesday through Saturday. We can only hope that someone knew enough to shut off the water and drain the system back.

Unfortunately, you may have to wait until Christmas week end to see the granite. Our builder was given the date of 12-21 for the installation. We will try to light a fire under them, but this is NM after all.
