The Kitchen

Yep, more bragging about my wife and our house:) We aren't done with the kitchen quite yet, but we're getting closer. The non-glass doors are done and there are just 3 glass ones left to do. The knobs and pulls come from restoration hardware sometime this week. We need to find before pictures to show the transition in total, but we like this enough to send it out.




A few comments on things.

1. Beckie ended up with about 1 square foot of fabric left over after doing all the curtains behind the windows. Got it out of the clearance bin and took all they had.
   
2. The Kreg Pocket Hole jig is the only way to fly when mass producing face frames for your house. No messy glue up, clamp nightmares, or joinery time.
   
3. The big box stores aren't always the best place to go for lumber. A local hardwood specialty store was actually about 15% cheaper and offered better stuff that wasn't contorted.
   
4. Used the cheap 5/8 overlay 35mm cup hinges for all doors. If anyone knows where to find 5/8 overlay hinges with 120-150 degree opening, let me know. I just want more than 100 degrees
   
5. Tool Usage Indicator - Random Orbit Sander, Drill Press, Kreg Pocket Hole Jig, Tablesaw, Miter Saw, Router, Cordless Drill
