Cabinets, cabinets, and more cabinets

We met with a kitchen designer at Hardware Hawaii Showroom in Kailua to create a design and concept for our cabinets not only in the kitchen but throughout the entire house. Who knew cabinets would be so expensive? We had to decide on the style, type of wood, and color of cabinets for two bathrooms, the laundry room, and the kitchen. Besides that, for the kitchen cabinets we also had to think about the functionality aspect: where we were going to put certain items, what size drawers we would need, etc. As it turns out, so much more goes into choosing cabinets than we thought!

Here are some of the initial drawings the designer came up with:

Kitchen (maple wood in "Autumn"):



Laundry room (maple wood in "Nutmeg"):

This was so not what we ended up with, but it looked nice!

Kids/Guest bathroom (maple wood in "Nutmeg"):


Master bathroom (cherry wood in "Coffee"):


The brand of the cabinets is "Showplace Wood". Click here to check out their website.

We have walls!

The house is now closed up and we have exterior walls, windows, a front door, and a roof! Now it actually looks like a house from the outside!




This is where the kitchen will be


Also, your first video tour of the house - enjoy!
