Edina Project in Progress - Cabinets Start Going In

Lessons Learned...

The project final had the cabinet delivered.  The short story is that during demolition, plumbing was discovered in the soffit, the cabinet order was put on hold to redesign to accommodate...but was not taken off hold!  Yes, opps!  3 weeks later, when they were suppose to be delivered and were not, we discovered this.

Now, the cabinets are here and have started to be installed, the countertops have been measured, the plumbing fixtures picked up, new doors, windows and trim have been installed and the reclaimed mantel for the family room is on its way.  Now, the backsplash is not going to work because the painted wall cabinets are more "buttery" than the sample...MUC

H more!  It is off to the tile showroom to make adjustments.

The good news, we are in the home stretch, have approved the countertop drawing, have successfully found new tile, scheduled the wood floors for next week and have an idea on paint colors for each area. 

This project has been a bit more of a challenge from a design perspective then most in my career.  So, we review things often and make decisions as we go.  Lesson learned, again...it never goes as planned.  Lessons Learned.
