    my cherry kitchen

    I finally have made enough progress to show a picture of progress to date on our kitchen remodel. I still have to put cherry crown on the cabinets , finish the white crown around the room, and make the cover for the venthood, but things are coming along however slowly.

    Now that is some beautiful cherry!! How did you find that in TX? Are you making the crown from the same curly cherry?

    Great look, BTW - good design and the pulls really set off the cabinets.

    I love the warmth of cherry.

    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    That looks excellent Steve! The step detail inside the door frames is a nice touch. And you weren't exaggerating about that cherry veneer - awesome!

    It was great to see you and meet John when you were here.

    Beautiful cabs Steve. Love the wood too. I'd be afraid to cook in there! I'm a messy cook.

    Awesome, Steve....and I know that's it's quality, too, given I've seen your work up close and personal several times!
