Kitchen cabinets

It has been a busy month; I have made progress with the San Fran, getting up to the attic pieces and doing some wallpapering:
Installed the front doors, which is a pin-hinge system using brads:
Dry-fitting attic pieces:
Meanwhile, the country house got its porch roof installed, finally!
Making a porch swing from a dollar-store patio furniture kit that my mother found for me years ago (I have gotten alot of porch swings out of it!):
And making progress with a fireplace surround, a bit inspired by the one in this blog:
Needed some kitchen cabinetry, a la Kris' matboard tutorial, but with my own spin on it by adding soffits. Actually this made the install alot easier as I could handle the cabinetry as a whole unit. Dry-fitting the pieces (I modified the dimensions from Kris' tut to fit the space):
A coat of gesso helps even out the finish:
At first I tried to mix up something in dusty rose, but it kept turning more and more of a ghastly pink, so I gave everything a couple coats in barn red and I am alot happier with that. It compliments the (faded) barn-red in the wallpaper, I think.
I will glue in place the sink unit when I'm done with it (needs faucet, and maybe some counter-top stove burners) but first I have to figure out my kitchen flooring.
