Turquoise Drawer Pulls

The kids helped me install these awesome turquoise drawer pulls.  You ever take on a project that is big & hard only to surprise the hell out of yourself by exceeding your own expectations?  That's what happened with these cabinets and I couldn't be happier.  

Starting to add the drawer pulls.  Loving the look!!!
I spent time on the layout of pulls and like the way they turned out.  Some people put the door pulls centered in the top corner of the door, I didn't do that and prefer this result.

First, I centered the pulls on the top drawer face.
















 Then, I made the door pulls even (level) with it and the lower drawer pulls plumb.  Notice how all of the top row pulls are on the same plane.  




Here, you can see how all of the top pulls line up.

Starting to pull the rest of the living space together also.  This is the front dinette/bed/storage area.  Cushions were custom made by a shop in Missoula.  The center cushion comes out and there is a table that adjusts in height to become a place to eat.  The table is also mobile, so we can use it outside or move it to clean or just move it out of the way for lounging.

  




 Recessed LED ceiling lights turned out great!  I got these from a marine supply place.


















Here, you can see the maxx fan mount and ceiling lights.  Clean, elegant, awesome.  I know lots of people like the fantastic fan but be sure to check out MaxxFan Deluxe.  It has a thermostat, you can leave it open in the rain, the outside cover doesn't rip off in high wind, fan is reversible if you want to suck air in...  Highly recommend these units!



Happy family = project is worth the $ and effort

Although we can use it now, I still have a long 'to do list' to get this where I want it to be.  This is one of my next projects, gotta figure out how to tie all of this together with a nice face frame...
