Big Island Living: Cabinets

Now that the laundry room floor is done, the cabinets can be installed there and in the kitchen.
For the laundry room, we selected maple, frameless cabinets with flush doors.

Base cabinets

Wall cabinets on the other side. A laundry tub will be located beneath the smaller cabinets, and the washer and dryer go on the right.

When it was time to install the base cabinets here, we discovered that the pipes and the drain are not quite in the right spot--they're a little to far to the left (ideally, should be centered beneath the shorter cabinets, but anywhere in the space would be acceptable. The plumber will have to come back and somehow move the pipes and drain, and hopefully, it won't require too much work or opening a a huge whole in the wall.

Looking out the door to the breezeway. The washer and dyer go on the left side by the door, with the laundry top towards the foreground on the left.

The kitchen cabinets are cherry with a mission-type door style, also frameless.

Base cabinets against the island. A wall stove will go in the left cabinet, and a gas cooktop will be put on the center cabinet.

Dining room base and wall cabinets. We realized that the kitchen cabinets alone would not provide enough storage, so we put cabinets along the wall in the dining room too.

Kitchen base and wall cabinets. The dishwasher goes on the left and the sink goes under the window. When putting in these cabinets, we realized that there was no outlet for a disposal. I called the electricians, and they came that afternoon, ran a wire under the floor, and hooked it up, so the cabinet installation was completed the same day.

View from the other side (looking into the breakfast nook and pantry) (a sample of the granite is leaning against the wall on top of the right cabinet in the foreground; the color doesn't really show, but it's a green.)

While the cabinets were being installed, cement board was being installed in the bathrooms.
