Catching you up

Hello all. Sometimes your favorite TV show will run a "best of" or "clips" episode to tide you over or cleanse your palate between the main storylines. That's what we're doing here.

When last we left our new kitchen island it was big, white, and electrified. The first thing we had to do was to make it green.


Then we added matching green doors and new hardware.



If you haven't tried this at home, one of the many "That shouldn't take long but always does" part of a kitchen or bathroom renovation is installing the hardware. Forget "measure twice, cut once" it's more like "measure five times before drilling" to ensure you center and align the knobs. Then there are endless fine-tunings to the doors to make them level. Finally, we also changed where the drawer fronts (which we'd taken off the make painting easier) attach to the drawers to make sure the heights and gaps are consistent with all the other cabinets.

When last we left our second bathroom it had painted walls, a floor, and the beginnings of a new cabinet. As above, the first task was to paint and then install everything related to the cabinet to finish it. Then came adding all the necessary little elements such as towel racks, which are another of the "Why is this taking so long?" parts of a renovation given all the measuring, leveling, etc.



Until next time.
