We purchased a Kitchen Floor Display for Basement Cabinets
I liked it just for the deep stainless steel Franke Sink which
we'll use in the kitchen.
I do the dishes so why not?
I had to spend about Three Hours removing the Silicon that held it
in place on the Display Cabinets
Bathroom Vanities Delivered
The kitchen
work continues although it was more of a lull this week than continuing. You
can really see how the doors make a kitchen. Right now it’s just a bunch of
white boxes hung on the wall with the doors leaning against another wall. I’m
not sure why they haven’t hung them all yet but there must be a reason.
Riley Kitchen & Bath is opening a new showroom so they put all of their display
units up for sale at significantly reduced prices. My better half suggested
that we buy one to use in our future Family Room in the basement. I looked at
her with that “Are you crazy?” look because why would we need two kitchens and
that’s just more money we’ll have to spend. Her reasons made sense (to her) so
being the dutiful husband I went along with buying these beautiful cherry
cabinets at a price we (? She) couldn’t say no to. Truthfully the display had a
really cool deep stainless steel Franke sink (I’ll get the measurements). When
I found out we could use it in our new kitchen instead of the standard one that
comes with the counter top, I went along with it. After all, we have an
agreement. When she cooks, I clean up. Which means that I clean up all of the
time.
Once we took
the display apart and moved it, I had to spend about three hours gently
removing the silicon that was used to attach it to the display cabinets. I used
some Motsenbockers Lift Off Silicon Remover to help remove it all. It was still
a lot of work and I had to be careful not to scratch the sink. It will look
great in the new kitchen.
My better half was successful in picking out
some really nice brushed stainless steel handles and knobs for the kitchen
cabinets from Top Knob. This was despite my offer of assistance with such gems
as:
·
“You
probably want them to match.”
·
“They have
websites that have a lot of them.”
·
“The website
will give you suggestions on the handles that will go with the knobs.”
·
“You
probably don’t want to mix companies with knobs and handles.”
·
“You might
want to make the picture larger so you can see them better.”
She went into the other room to look more. I think it was because I was being so helpful.
Enjoy your
weekend.
