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 dividers lined with contact paper |

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. |
