## Preparation and process

### Open the work area

The before view shows doors removed, bare wood surfaces, exposed utilities, tools, and protection around the cabinetry.

### Prepare the frames

The related preparation record documents cataloged components, corrected surfaces, and primed face frames. Its photograph shows the cabinet interiors and protected work areas before the finished installation.

### Review the complete setting

The after photograph shows the light gray cabinets with glass front upper doors, black hardware, a white counter, and a stainless sink. The lighter finish brings the cabinetry into a coherent relationship with the completed room.

## Result
