Hubs and I spent our day off together in the kitchen. First there was a side trip to the hardware store and Starbucks of course. We purchased some wainscoting, fluted trim molding and screen molding.
The wainscoting is used to trim out the top and bottom edges of our upper cabinets. The fluted molding is used to hide the seams where upper cabinets join together. The screen molding is used to trim out the where the upper cabinets meet the wall and to sandwich the fluted molding.
Here is a picture of the back side of the wainscoting. Its L shaped.
Here you can see the fluted molding to hide vertical seam sandwiched between the screen molding and all of it tucked behind the wainscoting.
This is a view of the back side...which will be up against the cabinet faces. You can see the L shape of the wainscot and the screen molding tucked inside the L.
Here is how it looks on the cabinet.
I have a few days off later this week and you can see I have plenty of sanding priming and painting waiting for me. Soon I will be able to order the cabinet doors!
The fridge wall is almost finished! Hubs installed brick molding at the bottom of all base cabinets. This hides a raw edge and gives the cabinets a uniform look. You can see he finished the baseboard and side trim too. Lots of priming and painting for me! Next weekend we hope to get the last upper cabinet built. It will hold the microwave and hang above where the microwave is now sitting on the counter. Some trim at the top and we will be done here.
On the left of the stove he had to cut the larger baseboard to fit under the cabinet and transition to the smaller baseboard on the kick plate. It looks terrific. He really impressed me by coping the brick molding on the cabinet right into the baseboard. Once caulked and painted it will look seamless. Great job Honey!
A few things still left on my list.

A few things still left on my list. Trim out the window.
Buy and hang cabinet doors.
Choose a back splash....this has been hard. Hubs and I have totally different ideas on this. No worries...its going to be MY choice. I'm just not quite ready to commit yet.
Then I have to firm up the plans for the island.
I'm loving all the space! My old kitchen had 5 usable cabinets. My new kitchen has 14! I have gone from having 5 drawers to 11!!!!

You two amaze me.... :)

The kitchen is looking sooo good! You two of amazing! ☺ Diane
It just keeps getting better and better!
I had to giggle at the comment about the backsplash. So, it will be your choice, eh? ;)
Totally custom and totally high-end professional looking! You increased your storage space by more than double - how'd you do that in the same footprint? This is truly amazing.
Kat, you are an inspiration to us all! You have now reminded me that I still have lots of finishing to do in MY kitchen too! Of course, mine won't be quite as professional looking as yours...but noone will look that closely, right? ;)
It is really looking incredible! So glad you are enjoying all that cupboard space :)
I hope I commented on this on the board. It looks fabulous! Are you loving it and enjoying having the project finished this summer?
