In our 3rd installment of the Edson Project, Gutting the Kitchen, George will walk us through the gutted space, now ready for framing and new windows.  He’s also prepared some show and tell, with a glimpse of the tools he used when building the old kitchen back in 1969.  Take a look!

Kitchen tours are a great way to raise money for a good cause.  Next Wednesday, August 3rd, two kitchen tours in different locations will be showcasing their Crown Point cabinetry!

The details for each are as follows:

The 45th Annual Seashore Open House Tour

10:30am to 4:30pm

Long Beach Island, New Jersey

“Tour seven exquisite homes that capture the history of Long Beach Island and its renowned architecture. Featuring houses chosen for the unique style, lush landscaping, dynamic interior décor, and sustainable building practices, this tour should be not missed! This year’s tour is composed entirely of homes on the north end of Long Beach Island and is one of our best tours ever!”  All proceeds benefit the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, “a vibrant community resource dedicated to providing arts, science and recreation programs to the members, residents and visitors to the area.”

2011 Merryspring Nature Center Kitchen Tour

10:00am to 3:00pm

Camden, Rockport and Lincolnville, Maine

“Come visit seven uniquely-designed kitchens and enjoy tastings from area chefs.  All proceeds benefit Merryspring Nature Center, a non-profit, privately owned park and educational center in Camden and Rockport with nature trails and gardens open to the public every day.  This member-supported organization offers talks, classes and workshops throughout the year.”

A beach-inspired Crown Point kitchen is currently being featured in Connecticut Cottages and Gardens Magazine!  With a color palette borrowed from the nearby sand and surf, this kitchen brings the laid back, beachy feel indoors.  Kinda makes us wish we were on a beach right now!

Cabinetry in this Darien, Connecticut kitchen was handcrafted from Flat Sawn French Oak and finished in Oceanside, a wash that was custom created for this kitchen.

Crown Point Cabinetry is teaming up with the folks over at Daily5Remodel for their July contest: Old Home Renovations!

If you’ve completed a renovation in a home built before 1960, we want to know about it.  Whether it’s a kitchen, master bath or even just a really beautiful detail, submit your entry today, and you could win an iPad2!
