Squash House Progress Update

I've been at the Squash House since Thursday afternoon without Mr. Squash. He has a bad back which is acting up so riding in the car isn't possible for him at the moment. Do I ever miss him! But I've tried to keep my mind off being without him by filling nearly every waking moment with chores around here! I get so busy I forget about the time and before I know it - time for dinner and late at that!

Thursday, Friday and today I've been mostly working non-stop in the yard. We had a portion of a neighbor's tree come down in our yard while we were gone - so along with having to clean up that monstrous mess and then pull all the little trees that sprouted from it's seeds all over the yard and trim all the roses - whew!

I wanted to show you the progress on the new cupboard doors and drawer fronts. Below is a picture with the old doors. We think they were original to the house - some of the doors had warped and there was awful gold hardware on them.

Here are the new doors! Bear in mind that we have yet to paint the actual cabinets as well as fill in the holes from the old hardware. They will be painted the same color as the doors - Spiced Vinegar from Pittsburgh paint. The color compliments the beach glass tiles really well!
The upper doors have an arched inset, while the lower doors have a square inset.

Our cabinet maker did such a nice job! He isn't quite finished - the glass for two of the upper cabinets is on backorder and the hardware needs to be installed (see last two pictures). I should be able to show you those next trip.
This is the knob - a simple brushed nickel knob that matches the fixtures. It's a good thing I'm not a professional hand model - LOL!
Here is the Barrel pull for the drawers.
I'm going back home tomorrow morning. I'll be sad to leave, but so very happy to see Mr. Squash again! I've only had time to keep up with my email this trip, so when I get home I'll catch up with all the goings-on in blogland!
