shit is getting serious

The guts of our kitchen are now sitting in our back room. I wouldn't want to make the journey again very soon, since I was a rollercoaster of uptight nerves the whole time (I may or may not have cried at the table of an Ikea dining room display...) but alas! No looking back now!


We just bought the guts of the cabinets, which are loaded with ergonomically-friendly drawers (you can see them stacked high in the picture). All soft-close, fully extending drawers and hinges *drool*, made for Ikea by Blum somewhere in Austria.

Extra odd-shaped cabinetry, toe plinths, crown molding and other fancy made items will be created by my husband. We tried to source some nice wood for door and drawer fronts, but it looks like purchasing pre-fab will be less expensive than even the raw materials. This shop even ships ground to Canada for a very good price, so I'll see about getting custom fronts done soon.

Halloween first - gotta work on those costumes!
