Two huge additions underway - the kitchen and the log stairs!

This week the first of the gorgeous cabinets from Bob Newman were installed. We are thrilled with them! The cabinets are cherry boxes with curly cherry drawer fronts and lower doors and the upper doors are covered with spalted maple that Bob has had in his shop for ten years. Apparently no one ever had the desire to use worm rotted wood in their kitchen around the lake but something about it seemed so cool to us. I started researching things made from spalted maple and I realized that, in small amounts, it would be a great addition to the kitchen. It's really a pretty contrast to have the rich cherry wood with the light colored spalted maple.

The big log stairs are also now partially in.
