Sometimes It Can Take A While...

I have been waiting to show pictures of this project for quite some time now. Gorg began working on these bathroom cabinets back in July. In a perfect world they would have been installed months ago, but as anyone who has remodeled their home could tell you, it typically turns into a textbook case of Murphy's Law. You never know what you are going to run into once walls start to come down, plumbing and electrical are re-routed, and new fixtures begin to go in; and that can become exponentially more complicated with the age of the house. What starts out as a simple, 'Let's replace the kitchen counter top and sink. We can have it knocked out by this weekend,' can quickly turn into months of doing dishes in the bathtub and cooking over a camp stove while new plumbing is run, a new sub-floor is put down, and the wait for back-ordered cabinets drags on; all because of a little mold problem that was discovered once the light of day reached the deep dark recesses under the sink. You are left questioning your sanity and vow never to 'fix' anything ever again (Unless you are a glutton for punishment like Gorg and I, who actually work on this kind of thing extremely well together.) until you finally see the beautiful finished product and the days of 'kitchen' being a 4 letter word are but a foggy memory.

This particular renovation dragged on for several months and the homeowners have my deepest sympathy. However, the cabinets turned out beautifully. They are solid Poplar with beaded face frames and finished with a paint/glaze technique for a tone-on-tone look. I hope that they have many years of enjoyment ahead of them.
