Building Built-ins

Here are some photos of the breakfast nook area that Greg worked on this week. He was on a mission to finish before leaving town this weekend and did it all. Nice work G!


This is leftover soapstone we had from our kitchen countertop. We're making a built-in desk area off of the kitchen and using some of this for the desk top. Soapstone was not as easy to work with as we thought it would be (and so very messy to cut) but we are definitely happy with the finished product.


I haven't been very hands on these days, but am getting pretty good at shopping for the things we need. Right now I'm working on finally getting something up in our windows- and there are a lot of them. At least I know the neighbors will be happy.

It looks so great! We have a similar desk area and are also doing a "built-in phase" after we move in. We love seeing your progress!

I love your porch. What a transformation from an older home to a new house. Your kitchen is very warm and inviting.
