I am writing this from the brick terrace; I hadn’t expected to post much this week but I just got the news that our dishwasher is on the way and the installation is going to be done much earlier than expected (they told us to expect it as late as 7pm tonight).
Here are some “before” pictures of the galley kitchen. The stone wall is where the recycled cabinets will be hung; we are also replacing the Home Depot stock counter tops with some in the Formica Boomerang pattern, which I posted about last week. Our current plan is to paint them “Wooden Spoon,” the color most of the kitchen surfaces have been done in.
Mary asked me to line up the cabinets on the floors (note they are upside down here), despite all the careful measuring we thought there might be something with the angles, widths, and heights, there just might be something misaligned and we wanted to see that before we put them up. In Mrs. Barclay’s old kitchen, these were not all on the same wall like they will be at our place. As you can see here, they are pretty well aligned, enough that I don’t think the little mismatch will be noticeable when we put them up.

I hope some of that stone wall is left exposed after the new cabinets are installed. Cool looking kitchen!

Ditto on the stone wall. It's gorgeous and quite unique!
Hi,
The new kitchen cabinets pictures which you have posted here are really nice.
If one is not having enough money for new kitchen cabinets, another option is refinishing the ones you currently have. Additionally, refacing is a process where just the doors and drawers are replaced. Another way to save money is to buy a less expensive wood, then stain it to look like your wood of choice. For example, if you don’t have money for cherry wood, you can buy pine and use a cherry finish instead.
