I like your "collected look" of cabinetry. It will look very homey and unlike standard style cabinets. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. No flip-flops here. Snow boots and muck boots.Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-5563440404416773642018-02-13T16:50:46.283-05:002018-02-13T16:50:46.283-05:0070 degrees!

The plumbing work looks fabulous.

I hate my golden oak shiny kitchen cabinets. Not at all what I wanted when the house was built. I can't wait to see the buttery yellow painted walls. It sounds perfect! Flip Flops and a farm skirt! I love that look too!Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-50930948297889152142018-02-12T12:53:06.286-05:002018-02-12T12:53:06.286-05:00I love what you are doing too.

Our microwave won't fit anywhere else but on top of the hutch without the shelves. Daddy removed the top with the shelves years ago, and put in down in the basement on his work bench. Wish he hadn't really done that though. I have made a skirt for under my sink before too in another home. It is easy, and works very well too! Enjoy the process, and how it evolves!

Too bad your bump out isn't a fake one like mine. I have the look of one but inside it is open to the ceiling and gives me much room for tall boxes. I only have to tip them a bit to get them in. It is one of the things I loved about this small house; the storage space and how it is set up. Plus the fact it is 14 ft. wide and doesn't make me feel claustrophobic. I want to put one of those tall kitchen faucets in this spring. I have such difficulty maneuvering large pans under the low regular faucet we have. It's just a small convenience that can make life so much easier. I do love doing dishes and always have. The hot water feels so good on arthritic fingers and wrists. Maybe it is weird, but I also like the time I spend standing there in front of the window with my hands in the hot water, looking out at the yard and sky. It's meditative in it's own way. Have a great week, dear friend. Much love to you and Adam.

I have that wasted space over my cupboards as well but like Julie P. says, there are assorted pipes and things housed in that space. Too bad. Adam seems to be able to do anything he sets his hand to.

I have a bump-out as well. I couldn't remove it because my vent pipes are behind it. I'm not neat enough to have open shelving. I've thought about taking the doors off of a few cabinets though. One thing that I'm loving is a space for my sheet pans and trays which my carpenter surprised me with - I'm so glad he thought of it. If Adam makes a shelf under the bread table maybe he could add some dividers on one end for such. As far as a step stool, I've always wanted a pull-down/fold out step in the "toe kick" space under the cabinets (like a short kneeling bench). AND ... a hydraulic lift coming out of a lower cabinet that would house my Kitchen Aid mixer! Oh, well, one can dream! It's fun to watch your progress!Julie Phillipsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-5294253256527633212018-02-11T18:55:01.589-05:002018-02-11T18:55:01.589-05:00Pale buttery yellow.

Find some furniture pieces to use for counters and cabinets. I'm not sure if it'll work in my tiny kitchen, but I like the idea! You can also clean under things better so mice don't have a chance to have their way down there! :) The box surround on the sink gives it that farm sink feel. I like it! Flip flops? You'd be in trouble here, lol. Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.com
