Cabinet Installation Begins (May 2, 2008)

Tim took the day off from work and joined Ian for cabinet installation. The based cabinets are in, and they look great. The cabinets are made of maple wood, constructed in a shaker style and stained ginger in color. We went for all drawers, where we could, for easier access to pots and pans and other kitchen items. Also, under Ian's recommendation, we upgraded the cabinets to include Blumotion, also known as "soft close." So, when we close a drawer or door the Blumotion mechanism installed in the door takes over before it's fully closed and gently finishes the close. No angry slamming of doors and drawers in this kitchen. Also, the cabinet drawers are full extension, which means that the entire drawer is accessible when fully extended. LOVE IT. Pics to come soon.
