Hello friends…can you believe we are on chapter 28?\u00a0 The fun part is just getting started, the long awaited finishing stages. This past weeks pictures really reflect how far things have come and it is super exciting to watch it happen.<\/p>\n

Major progress this past week, namely the partial installation of all the kitchen cabinets, back kitchen and bathrooms. Thrilled with how it’s coming along. I hope we will get down there in a few weeks as we enter the home stretch and to meet with our landscape architect to go over landscaping ideas. Here is this weeks progress-<\/p>\n

_______________<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The trim work has continued and is just about done including all doors installed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The biggest news and most exciting thing for me so far is the kitchen\/pantry….LOVE the cabinets so far<\/p>\n

B\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

This is the back kitchen, how gorgeous are these pale blue lacquered cabinets….so excited I finally got to do these! (shelves not in yet)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moving onto the bathroom cabinetry….and my gorgeous bathroom cabinet is even prettier in person than on paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The boys vanities are done, love the navy, pale gray and white….very happy now onto the hardware!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And my powder room vanity got installed, love it-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So this weeks subject is hardware both for kitchen and bathrooms. We are having to make these decisions soon so I have been looking all over the place for great looking hardware reflecting that transitional look that I am going for and I found so many things to love.<\/p>\n

For the kitchen I am really liking the look of wide handles, always loved the look as well of bin pulls but feel that ‘s more traditional so I am focusing on handles for the drawers and pulls for the doors. But I know that I will have to “try” a few pulls\/knobs for the kitchen before I can make a decision, the baths are a lot easier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the bath like clean classic shapes for my husbands and sons bathrooms, any of these would do beautifully-<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also think this lucite square pull is very pretty for one of the baths-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will be doing lucite pulls for all the shower doors, not necessarily this one but this idea (there are many manufacturers that make them now)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I am in love with this for my bath as I feel it has a slightly feminine edge, anything scalloped gets me every time! I don’t think I need to look any further<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the handles these are all very nice-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I like the look as well of lucite and polished nickel possibly for guest bath-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Restoration Hardware makes some nice collections as well-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this glass\/polished nickel pull comes in an 8″ for shower doors<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

_________________<\/p>\n

This has been such a fun project for me (though at times nerve wrecking) as you really need to be able to trust your decision making ability from afar! It’s been a fun departure from my usual more traditional formal style and I must say I am liking it:)\u00a0 I normally order one of each of the hardware pieces, once I narrow it down to a handful\u00a0 and then tape them to the cabinet to make my decision, that way, I avoid making an expensive mistake.<\/p>\n

I will likely get hardware samples ordered for the next time I go down there to play and see what will or will not work. It is exciting to be at this stage, much more to come. Thank you for following along and wishing you a wonderful day. Until next time……<\/p>\n
