ITEM 017C
This is the back side of the kitchen island with a much better view of the oak corbels and the color of the granite countertop. You and see how the oak grain stands out on the wood of both the kitchen island and top and base cabinets. You can also see how the top cabinets of the kitchen do not go all the way to the ceiling, and how the three piece crown moldings look above them. Beautiful custom cabinets made to the owners specifications. Are these cabinets made on site? You better believe it. Any home you build has a wall that is out of plumb, or a floor that is not level. Building on site allows the ability to compensate for these differences. I have been in new homes where the framer had an eight foot wall that was one and a half inches out of plumb, or a floor that was two inches out of level. Yes you can install prefab cabinets also, but you can only do so much when it comes to being out that much! My advice? Have your builder carry a level, make your framer look down the two x fours to make sure the wall studs do not have an excessive crown to them. There is something I call quality over quantity. But if you only care about the lowest price … you might as well add something in to the job to do it right after the job is done, if you know what I mean?
