The barn project is pretty much done so we’re on to the next one. We’ve decided we need a home office more than a living room. This is the wall we’re working on before we started. The only thing missing is the beat up love seat.
We ordered Kraft Maid oak cabinets to store all our office supplies and to create a work space. Our goal was to match the oak on my roll top desk. With my printing business and Mark’s landscaping business we were in need of space. Greg wanted to install them. The cabinets arrived 9-17-2012.
We got very lucky in that Mom and Dad decided on the spur of the moment to come the Saturday before. I think Dad was itching for a good project. Greg and Mark did the lion share of the physical component and Dad was the consultant. Much to my surprise and delight the install was completed by the end of the day on the 18th. Dad turned 84 in July and is still going strong.
Below is the almost finished project. This morning Greg and I picked out the knobs and handles for the cabinets. We still need to get glass on the center doors.
I have always had a love affair with granite. We got a very good deal on the sample below. It’s called Black Galaxy and has flecks of copper throughout and sparkles when the light hits it. The template for the counter will be measured on the 25th with an install scheduled for October 4th.
We have decided to go with hardwood flooring so next we have to get some quotes and get that installed. Emptying out the rest of the room and setting up work areas for the interim will hopefully happen next weekend. As with any project its always nice when it’s over.
