Now The Ktichen (Part 4)

Cabinet install. Well as usual I am behind the times but instead of making one really large posting I will break up it up into the final two. We installed our cabinets in mid December and it went pretty smooth. the hardest part is to ensure they are all level and when you have walls that aren't strait and floors that are not level it can be a challenge.

Framing Begins

Framing started Tuesday, FINALLY!! And of course El Niño decides to finally show up this year. Since the large storm we had in early January the weather has been beautiful during the permit process. Once the work was ready to begin it decides to give us the moisture we really need. So I am torn between cursing the rain and being thankful for it.

Regardless the project is moving forward.

 New Vanity, the blue is protective film, the finish is gloss white. This is designed to be mounted on the wall with two front legs.  This is an IKEA piece, we are looking at going a little modern.

 Where the wood is removed is the new bathroom and the remaining wood to the framing will be the closet.

IKEA Hackers

Just a quick post today.

As you know we like a lot of IKEA stuff. There is a website dedicated to IKEA Hackers. Basically people take what they purchased at IKEA and modify it to suit their style or need.

 Well "A" gets many of her inspirations from the site and she submitted two or our "hacks" and they both got published.
