Kitchen taking shape

A quick run up to Breckenridge today and some definite progress in the kitchen to report.   Here's a picture showing a side view of the kitchen island.  Next to where I'm standing is where the wine fridge will sit under the counter.

This next shot is taken from roughly the same place but it shows the view of where the sink / bar will be opposite the island.  The gap you see is where the dishwasher will sit.

 Next this picture shows the cabinet which will hold the ovens and again the gap for the wine fridge.  The cabinet to hold the wine next to the fridge came out really nicely.  The cabinets above the wine fridge currently have temporary plywood which will be replaced by clear glass when the finish work is done.

This is another view of the island taken facing the mudroom.  The stove will sit on top of the double drawer cabinet where you can see the gap.

Finally, this picture shows the drink prep area (at the end of the counter next to the wine fridge, closest to the great room).  This is going to look really cool when the countertops are installed.

After some discussion we also finalized the interior window trim.  Here's an example of what it will look like in the picture below.  This is the small, high window on the North wall in the girls' room.

Interior doors

We visited the house again this weekend and were a little disappointed with what felt like slow progress over the past couple of weeks.  The good news is that the interior doors and cabinets are on site and look beautiful.

The front door is actually installed - in the picture below you can get a sense of what it looks like.  It's a 3 panel knotty alder door, 8 feet high and 3 feet wide.  It's pretty substantial - we opted for the thick panels which really came out nicely.

Below is an interior door in it's frame.  Also 3 panel knotty alder doors with the thick panels.  We went with 1 3/4" thickness on all the interior doors versus 1 3/8" which is pretty typical.  This gives the doors a more substantial, solid feel.

The picture below, taken from 'head on' gives you a sense of the glaze on the door and how it gives a feeling of texture.

The cabinets are also on site, below is a picture of one of the kitchen cabinets after we tore away some of the protective plastic.  I think this cabinet will hold the double oven but I'm not 100% sure.
