helping a buddy out on a cab install. I think it’s a nice mix of cabs. Glazed off white with darker cherry stain. They “meet” at the island. Bet it looks super after the granite ties it all together.
I also like the idea of the taller bookcase being used as the tall part of the island.

hey ... story for ya ... this is a pretty upscale neighborhood ... I go out at noon ... gotta get something outta the van ... the concrete guys have finally moved all their trucks outta the way ... figure I'll move the van to an open spot right out in front ...
so as I'm walking across and down the street .. something catches my eye ...
so I decide to drive the van all the way down the street and turn around at the intersection rather than do a mid-street U turn ...
I was right ...
corner house ... old guy on the sidewalk across the street ...
hot/young trophy wife running back to their house ...
after she ran out to give him a cordless or cell phone ...
wearing a teddy!
I drive all the way down ... catch the show ... turn around ...
and that old guy was giving me dirty looks the whole time I was driving back!
heck ... I was just agreeing with his great taste.

Yeah... great.
Where the he11 was that dang camera when you REALLY needed it?
Never mind the cabinets.... we want hotties!
Looks great Jeff, but then again, I expect nothing less from you. Wish it was my kitchen.
Yeah... great.

ha ha, that's what I was thinking! Some nearly naked woman runs by and no pics, but then he spots some nice cabinets and whips out the camera. That is the point where you should realize that you take your job WAAAAY too seriously. ;)

You ever use the Canac Brand?
Yup.
Thinking I've only installed their euro style (frameless) ...
All (mid level) euro styles seem the same to me ... I'm not a big fan.
Purely asthetics, though. I'm a traditional face frame kinda guy.

Jeff -
I know you didn't install the crown, but do you know the detail? It looks like something other than enhancer.
Thanks,
-Bill
the crown .. like I said ...
just base run upside down lower on the wall ... and run farther out on the ceiling ...
with standard tall crown applied to that.
3 piece built up ... nothing complicated.

Be nice.
Very sharp!
Amazing how a simple detail (fluted post & rosette) can add so much elegance.
Looks Great!I invented Coke with Lime.
Nice work Jeff.
BTW, I got your email several days ago.
I'll drop you a line during the week.

I am stopping over to inspect on Breckenridge tomorrow.
I figure you are low on drywall screws so i'll stop over with some plasticaps and duct tape to help hold those cabinets on the wall.
You gonna be around there tomorrow?
so I got my head buried under that island ...
granite guy showed up to template ... and actually read his prints.
seems the way we set one end of that island ... his granite wouldn't template the way he was supposed to. Typical ... everything works just fine till some guy shows up and actually reads the prints ... I tell ya!
anyways ... an easy fix. Unscrew and slide the whole deal down 3 inches ...
easy .. till that damn post leg decided it didn't like it's new home. A 15 minute fix turned into 30 minutes of fighting with one damn stripped screw!
So ... I'm down there ... sweating .. swearing ... etc .. and in walks some damn kid ...
says ... "Hey, that was MY Mom U were talking about!"
My buddy ... real quick-like ... give me straight up! Wasn't me, men ... that was him! I think he even shined a lazer on me for pin-point accuracy. I know who NOT to trust when the old chips are down!
I mutter ... well ... she is hot ... and keep fighting.
Then ... Dante walks over ... says he read it on FHB ... and she's not really his Mom.
bastidge.
but funny. Had I not be in a fight to the death .. I would have laughed sooner.
Finally got the post set ... like a real carpenter ... for once ... and got to introduce myself. Nice new guy we got here.
Turns out he's working a job about 4 minutes from my house.
maybe we'll drive out to the fest together?
oh yeah ... his buddy ... is gonna live in that house ... the one with the kitchen ... small work, huh? On a side note .. they were thinking I meant a house on the other end of the street ... I had to help the kids out ... point them in the right direction ... so to speak.

Nice mix of cabinets. You guys do all of the crown too? That looks nice.
Quality, Craftsmanship, Detail
builder's guys ran the crown. It's one of their "signature" details.
standard "tall profile MDF. Wall and ceiling "base" ...
with the standard/ tall crown set in. It looks to paint up real nice. Tall ceilings and doors ... anything smaller would get lost. It's one of the nicer developments around Pgh. They don't scrimp on the builder details.
