Cabinet Installation con't

May 3: I understand that the cabinet installation will take about 6 weeks. Over the last 3 days there has been very visible progress, including building of the kitchen island/bar and setting up cabinets in other areas of the house. It looks like the pantry cabinets are pretty much installed, just waiting for the crown molding and handles. Cabinets are also set up in the mudroom, and installation of the kitchenette (in the sitting room above the garage) has started. Cabinets make the build really look like a house......

Right hand side of the pantry. The cabinets are 12" wide - perfect for dish storage. The first tall cabinet will have multi level dowling to hang tablecloths and shelves for placemat & napkin storage.
