Today was our final meeting up in Lake Stevens to confirm cabinet layouts and finishes, as well as the interior door stain color and front door stain color. It was a lot! But we got it done. The neat thing is it's one company that does the cabinets and doors, so we had the option to stain them all the same so they'll match each other, which is what we've decided to do. The wood will be knotty alder, so lots of character.
Sneak peak pic below. The wood piece on top of the flooring sample will be the stain color for the cabinets in the kitchen perimeter, living room, loft, all the bath vanities, and some accent shelves in the laundry room and study. The dark charcoal color will be the kitchen island, pantry office, and study cabinet color. And the laundry cabinets will be green! It's a custom house...so we're going for it.
They're going to spray some larger pieces of alder for us so we'll bigger samples to view, and we'll pick the sheen at that time. But the hard part is done!
More big decisions to make this week. My bag of homework comes with me everywhere. Even on our river trips.
