A bathroom and laundry in Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood. Going over this afternoon to meet with the plumber and the electrician. We start on Friday prepping for demo with major demolition to start on Monday.

This is a small space, but with custom cabinets that also serve as part of the shower enclosure, space utilization is maximized. The large bin behind the toilet is necessary to allow for access to the main clean out and will serve as a laundry hamper.

I have as few detail photos to share and will return to photograph the entire kitchen as soon as the homeowners are able to finish hanging the doors and installing the drawers in the existing mid-century birch cabinets that they have so lovingly refinished

The custom, hand carved drainboard turned out very well.

These grooves were cut into the stone and then polished to a honed finish to compliment the Absolute Black Satin stone slab. All stone and tile work was performed by our good friends at Quality Floors, LLC.

As always, Lea Howlett of High Roads Woodworks came through with excellent cabinets this time utilizing vintage plywood and new materials to match the existing cabinets to a "t".

One of the last details was to fabricate this stainless steel heat shield between the refrigerator and the new open burner range from American Range.

In this view you can see how tight the spacing is. The base cabinet to the left of the range is also new.

The kitchen in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood is progressing well. This week saw delivery and installation of cabinets. Once again, Lea Howlett of High Road Woodworks has done a fantastic job. The new cabinets are a perfect match for the existing mid-century vintage cabinets that the homeowners are so lovingly refinishing.

Counter top template is happening today, so the job should be all wrapped up in about two more weeks. I'll be posting some pictures soon! ]]><![CDATA[The next kitchen]]>Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:39:08 -0800http://www.lscarpentry.com/1/post/2011/08/the-next-kitchen.htmlIt's been a busy few weeks here. The usual summer activities, and of course summertime means projects! We've been happy to take care of odds and ends while ramping up for our next big project; a kitchen in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. This is a really interesting job, in that the owner's really like the existing cabinets and want to retain all of them while adding new ones that match perfectly, modifying the old as necessary to accommodate all the luxuries a new kitchen requires (little things like functioning vent hoods and a dishwasher).

Hope to be starting that one in the next week or two and will be sure to keep you posted here. In the meantime, I finally got around to adding some photos to the Projects page, detailing our latest kitchen makeover. Enjoy!

Namely refinishing the step and landing just off the kitchen at the back door.

Now that that's all finished and we're cleaned up and moved out this seems like a great time to look at some before and after pictures...

Brooke Alford Gardens took charge of all aspects of design, creating an inviting flow from indoor to outdoor space, working with color, texture and pattern to create a large and accommodating outdoor living space that doesn't completely dominate the intimate scale of the yard

]]><![CDATA[Nearly done!]]>Tue, 28 Jun 2011 06:59:21 -0800http://www.lscarpentry.com/1/post/2011/06/nearly-done.htmlThe kitchen in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood is almost done. We're still waiting on one or two items from the appliance supplier, but should see significant completion by the end of this week.

Also working on a backyard makeover in West Seattle. Hope to have that one complete by early next week as well.

]]><![CDATA[Catching up!]]>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 06:47:22 -0800http://www.lscarpentry.com/1/post/2011/06/catching-up1.htmlOr not, as the case may be! Hard to believe it's been nearly a month since I've written, but it's been a very busy and productive one, at least.

When I last wrote I was just starting the sheetrock on the kitchen in Mt. Baker. At this point the cabs are all set, tile floor and backsplash are installed and appliances arrive tomorrow. I'll make a page for this project soon, but in the meantime, here are some of the latest progress shots.

It's been a busy couple of weeks, with all the usual random discoveries, additions and new ideas.

Here are some progress shots for now. I'll update the Projects page soon!
