Set Design

The cabinets are ordered - hurrah! Bunny has been very patient with me during this rather lengthy process that started months ago. I still have to deal with the sink tops and hardware but those don't need the same lead time as the cabinets so I have some time. We ended up with Decora cabinets in the kitchen. The style/finish is very similar to what I had in Vienna. It's a natural maple cabinet with a coffee glaze. Here's pictures of a kitchen done in the same cabinet. Our floors will be dark to draw out the color of the glaze and have a random pattern of 3 different width planks like this example.

I am also including two views of the kitchen layout. The island has room for seating on 2 sides - we'll have 3 stools. There's also molding along the top of the cabinets that didn't show up on the drawing. There aren't too many 'specialty' cabinets: just a trash pullout, a tray base and a lazy susan corner cabinet. Otherwise, just lots of drawers and, of course, the spice drawers for mom's knobs.

The maple cabinets for the two
upstairs bathrooms are Aristokraft. The master bath (right) in Landen in Saddle finish and Conor's is the beadboard called Roxburgh. I love beadboard but had picked something simpler for my ultra-modern son (this is a kid who wants a piano black and chrome kitchen someday!!), but he chose the beadboard. What a happy coincidence. Conor's vanity is pretty simple just two sinks on top and a bank of drawers on each side with double doors in the center. The master bath layout is this: There will be one more shelf on the top tower and a door on the top half of the tower. Should be enough storage I think! I'm ordering that black vanity for the basement and the pedestal sink will be in the powder room. The laundry room has your basic white laminate cabinets. We ended up ordering only base cabinets and we're going to put in Elfa shelving from the Container Store for additional storage in there.


Tomorrow is tile day for Brian - oh boy! We're whittling down the decisions and October will be here before you know it.
