Microwave cabinet. We are waiting for the eletrician to finish the dedicated microwave circuit, so right now it is plugged in below the cabinet. The open shelves are so handy. Once the electrical is finished, I will be painting the wall at the back of the open shelves.
Medicine cabinet. An expensive option. We bought a 24"w by 24"h cabinet, and paid to have it cut down to 5" deep. But, it makes the flow of the cabinets along that wall of the kitchen work a lot better and it is very useful and packed full. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Undercabinet lighting. Our criteria: not hot, and all under cabinet lights must be hardwired back to a single switch. Our electrician picked these and I love them. A nice white light that is not blinding, not hot, and comes in enough sizes that they were able to fully stretch the width of all the upper cabinets in our kitchen (12", 21", 24" and 30").
Your kitchen photos look great, for our countertops we also went with Hanstone in Maple Canyon and are currently going through a kitchen reno.
Seeing your pics helped us se what the counter top would look like.
Hi Lisa!
We will be also going with Hanstone Maple Canyon... were you able to locate any other pictures of finished kitchens with the countertop??? we are torn between the Chocolate Cognac and Maple Canyon...
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
We just finished with our kitchen reno, I'll try to post some photos tomorrow - we did go with the Hanstone Maple Canyon, and we are pleased with it. If I'm unable to load the photos here I can send them to you on regular e-mail if you like.
It was a difficult to choose the color, until it's actual installed it's hard to picture how it will look.
I have some photos of the kitchen, but can't load them here (i'm at work) I'd be happy to send them to you on regular e-mail if you like, please send me your e-mail address.
Mandy - your kitchen looks fantastic. I love it all (from one Adel MB owner to another). I especially love how you fashioned the microwave cabinet and the medicine cabinet.
