I have been working on a new kitchen for my sister for about nine months now (almost like giving birth) and I wanted to make sure I got it done and installed for her for Christmas. It took some doing, but I got it in. The old cabinets had this drop down cieling above them that I had to sledge out, and then replaster the walls afterwards, but I think the end result made it worth it. I am so glad she likes it.http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i8/ssatrams01/000_0258.jpg

It all looks much better with the countertops. The sink cabinet was my one woopsie. I measured it too short and had to build it again on the fly while installing everything. Sheesh that was fun, I don't reccomend as a rule you try that.lol.

The only cabinet left to build is the one above the stove. I knew that when I installed them because that is the "joining everything together" cabinet. where there has to be an extremely precise size and fit, which I didn't really know what it was going to be until I put them in. The deal was, I build them, he(the brother in law) stains them, so some will still need done by him,. But I think it looks good nontheless. I am sure y'all can see plenty of problems, but please understand, I have never built kittchen cabinets before in my life, and all of this was very new to me. (I swear, If I didn't love my sister, I probably would've given up about a half dozen times during the build.)
