get 'er done b4 it starts gettin' hot

I just wanted to start out by saying that this post is somewhat mixed up. I used the upload multiple images function and things didn't align as I thought they would. I could have abandon this post and start another but in review I decided against it as the info I was trying to communicate wasn't affected (or so I think).

This is the front of the island which will face the doors overlooking the deck and water. All will be cabinets with storage. They will be under the counter so storage for items that you only need once in awhile.
One of the face frames for the base cabinets that have a cutting board built in (there will be three). All base cabinets will be full extension drawers except for under the cooktop which will be full extension pull out shelves. Sorry about having to look at this on its side, usually I take care of that for you.
Painting again today by Sandy. Shutters were the focus as well as continuation on the trim.
Okay, we started with the color on the right shutter, which is more of a mustard than what it appears to be in this photo. I don't think it turned out as we wanted so we, after so trips to Lowes, over stained with a walnut stain. It gives the shutter a wood feel as well as adds some depth. Under these windows will be wrought iron window/planter boxes which should set this color off.
Decided that today was the day to bust through. This pic show the old existing window from the original kitchen removed.
The view from the new construction side. Radio on the floor was spewing beach music as it was such a GR8 day in the lower 70's and sunny as you can see from the pics.
Another cabinet pic illustrated here. This one shows the cooktop cabinet in the center with the two pull outs on either side. The concept is that the pull outs will be for spices and sauces needed for cooktop cooking. The center will be cabinet doors with pull out shelves inside for the pots, pans and lids.
