Re: Left or Right?

I really like the right hand side. I can't say why, I just do.

For the sink base below, why don't you consider going with full height doors. That way you don't need the fake drawer fronts. It gives a cleaner, contemporary look.

the sink cabinet will have a single full front door. and it will likely be abstrakt gray.

if i put the glass doors in the middle i can't use the awesome light shelves to light the countertop AND the inside of the cabinets

i have considered the bottom two rows as glass, i'll consider it more if the avsikt rumor i heard is true.

Oh, TG, you absolutely could use those lights. They just won't work the way Ingvar intended. You need to think outside the box a little more.

I think it would be equally good with glass doors in middle or on the bottom.
