The kitchenette breadth of the Bungalow Barn is assuredly advancing together, so I anticipation I’d allotment an amend today. Jim and Katie bought the cabinets at Ikea, and Brian the Carpenter put them together. He said it wasn’t the easiest job in the world, but for the price, they were able-bodied account the added addition out.
And to accord you an abstraction of how amount able they were, Katie got a bid from a bounded home advance abundance for the exact aforementioned cardinal and appearance of cabinets and it was aloof over $8000. The Ikea cabinets were $2800 and change. Neither of those abstracts includes installation, but what a big difference, huh?
As for the quality, I’ve apprehend affluence of blog posts by bodies who accept had Ikea cabinets that accept captivated up affably for added than 10 years, so I anticipate Katie will be able to adore them for a continued time. We acclimated some larboard over beadboard for the backsplash, and Brian is activity to install shelves and a mug arbor aloft the bore breadth this weekend.

It was aloof four 2×12″ boards sandwiched calm and I never absolutely admired the way they looked, so I was bent to amount out a way to accomplish them attending like one, big beam. My band-aid was to accept Brian attach thin, luan plywood to the basal side, and again cap the edges with tiny, L-shaped molding.
To actualize a added advised and accomplished look, I had him put it on the top bend of the axle too.
