We are done with the interior of the kitchen at this point. The hardwood flooring has been installed and finished. It’s a bit in the distance, but, if you look at the doorway on the left side you will notice the tie-in area that I had mentioned in the last post regarding the hardwood flooring. It matched beautifully.

This is a unique almost minimalist design with regards to the cabinetry and island layout. Most of our kitchen remodels usually involve custom cabinetry, however, the budget on this project didn’t allow for that. These cabinets were ordered as standard sized base and wall units from one of our pre-built cabinet manufactures and offered considerable savings over our custom cabinetry offerings. The center island is heavily customized and I will discuss that in the next article.

You will notice a large post and beam in the middle of the room. We removed almost half of the back wall of the 1st floor of the house and replaced it with laminated beams after we had built the addition that extended the kitchen out into the backyard.
