This past weekend Dave installed the crown moulding<\/a> around the tops of our cabinets. This isn’t a super-tall design, we wanted something subtle, yet elegant.<\/p>\n

We also picked up our hardware for the cabinet doors<\/a> and drawers<\/a>. I can’t wait to see how awesome they look when installed.<\/p>\n
