Curiosities of Cabinets

They're back, Carol Ann. After a long (and slightly stinky) stay in a storage container, cabinets from the original house kitchen and apartment kitchen have been refurbished to make up the kitchen island and bar.
The old wooden cabinets from the original house's main kitchen were cleaned, painted, and fitted with new, invisible hinges and new handles. The first limestone counter pieces were mis-cut, so Phil the carpenter made a beautiful temporary wood counter while we waited for replacements.

Original potato and onion baskets
Remember these?
Cleaned and powdercoated, they are now the bar cabinets, topped with butcher block salvaged from Laura's parents' neighbor's house during a renovation in the 1980s.
