vanity fair

before puppy class last night, we decided to go by the house to see what's new. lo and behold, the bathroom vanities and the master bath closet had been installed!

at heart, our general contractor is a master woodworker. we discovered this fact when we took a tour of his home and laid eyes on his gorgeous kitchen with its handmade butcher block island. so when we negotiated the house, we did our best to negoiate a deal on cabinetry. in the end, it worked out to be more expensive than ikea but about the same price as cabinets from s-lowes or homo depot. plus, they're custom.



grant it, friday is still very small, but this closet is really as huge as it looks in the photo. in fact, the top of it stands at 9' 8. it took us a little by surprise, but talk about storage!

something tells me that we'll be looking for ladders next on craigslist...



our contractor suggested the veneer be placed horizontally for a different look and i love how it turned out.



once, the hardware from ikea is attached and the stone and sinks mounted on top, they'll be done. this exact style will be used in our kitchen, which is up next.
