Kitchen Cabinets

Installed. I made a tiny little mistake and was off by less than 1" on the cabinet over the fridge, so I will have to wait until I order a new smaller window and redo some exterior parts before I can hang the last cabinet. Now to make the countertops, redo my toekick aluminum at the bases, and pour the kitchen floor.

Bathroom Tile

Got all of our bathroom tile. Now to just finish the job in there.

Kitchen Cabinets

We did get the upper cabinets installed now and also put on new hinges on all the cabinet doors, mostly because I am picky and did not want the brass hinges since it would not math the rest of the finishes in the house. I still have to install the base cabinets and probably will not update the cabinets again until I get the kitchen floor done too. Step by step.

So we finally got started on the cabinets that we ordered a few weeks back now. After pulling all the cabinet doors off and taking off all the hinges we started to stain everything. The more tedious part than the stain was putting on a coat of poly every night though. It was definitely a drawn out process.

Concrete Floor

I poured the rest of the bathroom floor. I will attach some pictures as soon as it cures a little more and I have sanded it down a little. I added some charcoal concrete coloring to the mix and it surprisingly didnt tuen out much darker than the concrete next to it without coloring.

Skylight Well

'Finished' the skylight well in the attic space (except for adding skylights, of course) with the exception of some touch ups. Will add a picture to this post once I remember to download the picture. Pulled up all the walkway boards I had put up there for the last couple months.

Soffit 2

The soffit has light now and is well on its way to being finished up for now. The drwall has been finished on both and will soon be finished with tape and mud which means primer comes next. Exciting. Then on to the cabinets and the bathroom floor.

Concrete Floor

I poured the first strip of concrete in the bathroom this weekend, and will sand it some with pictures to follow. Elisha finished sanding the skylight well, primed the entire thing with 2 coats of paint, and I caulked around the seams of the roof members that come into the space. More little projects to be done before pictures will follow.

Kitchen Cabinets

Here are all the base peices (the uppers are in the other room) for the cabinets we got. We got a really good price on these from Cabinet Factory Outlet here in Omaha. The are unfinished, brass hinges (which I plan on changing out), no hardware, with a flat panel. Once we get them stained and sealed it should look pretty good with the countertops that have yet to made. I will have to reinforce them for the concrete as tehy were very cheap cabinets though (MDF), but thats alright.

DIY Concrete Countertops 7

We did get the plumbing for the sink put in this weekend, way easier than I even thought it would be, thank goodness. The cats really seem to enjoy the shallow sink with the open mouth faucet though. Also with the assistance of one of the interior architects at work I found the tile that I wanted (linear 6x18) at a really good price (and its of good quality too - although I will not get any LEED points for it for sure).

No new pictures to post at the moment. Just lots of little projects like drywalling, tape, and mud. Testing stain colors for the cabinets.
