- Part 1: Kitchen Cabinet Design
- Darcie Miller (from Wellborn Cabinets) explains the kitchen's design. It's all built around the center workstation, where the cooktop will be. This is part of a work triangle, which includes the space for a refrigerator and stove and easy access to the sink.
The Wellborn Cabinets that are going in also come with a crown molding and dental insert. On the corners of the island workstation are four columns with a base molding for support. Decorative solid wood corbels attach to the tops of the columns for additional support.
The cabinets have been finished with a cream color to give them an antique feel. - Part 2: Kitchen Cabinet Installation

This project focuses on the construction of a Colonial-style home built with both history and the future in mind. While the 4-bedroom, 4-bath home will have a traditional exterior and interior detailing, the plan will suit the needs of a modern family, including easy-maintenance fireplaces, a great room, master suite, sun room, 3-car garage, and a large walk-out basement with plenty of room for recreation and indoor/outdoor living.
