New Construction Includes Cabinets and Interior Painting

             Picking out an interior paint color for the new construction of our house was a little daunting. We spent time with our decorator, who is part of our builder’s team at Blue Moon Bay Construction, to choose a color. Part of the process of choosing a color included looking at many shades and variations of several colors. Going into the decision-making we knew we wanted a shade of gray that would be a soothing, peaceful color that would continue to make the interior full of light and enhance our view of the lake.

Sounds easy right – not so much because there were so many choices. We settled on a medium shade at first. The builder painted the color on a large piece of paper and taped it on a wall in the house. When we went by to look at the color it seemed too dark. We then had a couple of new colors to look at and we finally decided on a lighter shade of gray. Thank goodness for the patience of our builder. And, the new color seems perfect.

            Deciding on all the intricacies of kitchen cabinets was as thought-provoking as choosing a paint color. We knew we wanted plenty of storage space in the kitchen, which stretches across one end of the great room. We also have an island that contains cabinets and we decided to add one additional narrow cabinet for even more storage. We also wanted them to be attractive, easy to reach and blend with the rest of the great room.

One process that has been an incredible help throughout the building process was making frequent trips to our builder’s house to look at different design and material elements in their house. We had always admired the cabinetry at our builder’s home and decided to use some of the same ideas they used. All the dreaming finally turned into reality and we have the cabinets we envisioned. They are installed, painted and the doors are mostly in place. And, we are so excited about the way they turned out.

           Even now that we’re down to the nitty gritty details, we are so grateful for our builder, his team of professionals and the subcontractors. Our home construction is on track, we’re so pleased with the quality of construction, everyone has been easy to work with and very accommodating, and we can hardly wait to get it all finished.
