Our office reno continues
The wall, ready for built-ins
We started with a blank wall and a need for storage – from here, we hired an excellent local woodworker who came in and carefully measured everything. The overall goal was to maximize the storage space and align the office with the kitchen by ensuring that the cabinets matched.
Kitchen assembly
As the unit was huge, it was necessary to assemble it on-site. Our cabinet-maker used the floor of the kitchen to put it all together.
The first section is up!
Here is a shot of the first section in place. You can see our cabinet-maker in the kitchen assembling the next section.
The bookshelves installed
The base is to be completed with doors and drawers – we’re also going to add crown molding and prep it for paint. I know painting over wood isn’t a popular choice but we’ve decided to do that to maintain the feel of the house (and be consistent with the kitchen). My hub and I are doing the finishing ourselves, hopefully the final product will be beautiful!
