This is a "Before and After" series of a complete kitchen makeover that included all new cabinets, extending the drywall soffit to accommodate the additional cabinets, relocating the ceiling fan, adding new ceiling light canisters, replacing the sink, designing a new countertop, installing flooring and all necessary trim. |
These images above show the extra few inches that the microwave was raised created a clean unbroken line of sight along the bottom of the wall cabinets. The observant viewer will detect under-the-cabinet L.E.D. task lights. It is hard to miss the paint color change. |
There were no cabinets on this wall, this
configuration required the extension of the
heating vent, relocation of the phone, cable tv and network cables,
installation of L.E.D. rope lighting in the
display cabinets and replacement of the raised
door panels with glass inserts, (not shown). What is shown is
the double pantry cabinets with roll out
adjustable shelves that allow for easy storage and
selection. Also Not Shown is
the AM FM CD player that controls the audio
to the speakers on either side of the HDTV/PC
monitor,the wireless keyboard
and mouse, and the netbook tying it all in
together, hiding inside the left end base cabinet. The cut corner base
cabinet and countertop eases traffic flow through
the doorway.
This homeowner can enjoy broadcast and cable
programming as well as netflix on demand and any
other internet browsing with a very modest
investment in equipment.
What
the cook loved the most was having her pot rack
hung close by, but out of the way. |
