Cabinets continued II...

Finally, the cabinets are up! The hubs spent every night getting them up. It took a great deal more time and effort than I thought it would. The cabinets still need knobs and molding.



Before:


Here are the instructions on how to install the cabinets! Can they be any bigger?!






We spent a lot of time with the prep - measuring, aligning and pre-drilling holes. For security, he had to drill pieces of wood onto the wall first. Then hang the cabinets on those pieces of wood and secure with more anchor bolts from the inside of the cabinet.


It took approximately 2 hours to hang one cabinet, but once you got the hang of it, it went by more quickly.


While he worked on that, I began sewing the kitchen drapes. I think it turned out pretty cute. The curtain rod is from Joann's. Everything was 50% off.


I might add ribbons or sew some tabs 1/6 of the way in. I also still need to sew another curtain half way down the window in something sheer or or maybe white eyelet lace.
