      <title>Vancouver Townhouse Renovation - Kitchen Installed!</title>
      <link>http://benchimes.com/vancouver-real-estate-blog.html/vancouver-townhouse-renovation---kitchen-installed-1692136</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Things are finally getting put back together:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://benchimes.com/_media/blogging/Renovation-Projects/IMG07181328226818890.jpg" width="700" height="522" alt="Kitchen cabinets" title="Kitchen cabinets" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the basic kitchen cabinet plan with everything installed. And not, the top cabinets are not blue. They are a high gloss white when we take off the protective film. The base cabinets on the right side were not a part of the original kitchen, but we wanted to add some additional counter space and storage. We come awfully close to blocking out a portion of the window, but it just fits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://benchimes.com/_media/blogging/Renovation-Projects/IMG07171328227159041.jpg" width="700" height="522" alt="Kitchen Cabinets" title="Kitchen Cabinets" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is another look. We really like to two-tone cabinet look… Will get another photo up as soon as the protective film is off so you can get a better look. Countertops are getting measured tomorrow and will hopefully be installed towards the end of next week. That's when things start looking like a real kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://benchimes.com/_media/blogging/Renovation-Projects/IMG07161328227158800.jpg" width="700" height="522" alt="Fireplace" title="Fireplace" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also started the framing in of the fireplace. No drywall yet, but have run the electrical and cable into the wall to make it easy to wall mount a television.&lt;/p&gt;
