Kitchen and Living Room Combined Designs

Countertop installation

This blog chronicles my entire kitchen renovation from start to finish. Greentea Design has provided me with their solid wood <a href="http://www.greenteadesign.com/kitchen-cabinets.html" target="blank">kitchen cabinets</a>, and I'm taking care of the rest. If you'd like to be brought up to date, check out the archive in the sidebar for previous posts. I posted recently about the completed lighting, and now for the countertop installation. Choosing a countertop was quite an adventure. I had a particular idea of the look in mind and was searching for something that wasn't going to break the bank. I ended up going with a quartz called specchio white that is exactly what I wanted and for a great price. I am so happy that I went with a light coloured counter because it brightens up the space so much. I think it looks incredible against the cabinets. The material I chose has lots of grey and silver flecks in it that sparkles. SO PRETTY. As usual, I took many photos and in this case I took some during the installation process as well because I found it fascinating. To start the installation, my contractor had to cut a hole for the sink. I found this to be too painful to watch so I quickly snapped a couple photos and proceeded to stare out the window whilst cringing in agony. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifk18uoDWJ5ZCKKeFWRHnbMJZgooKRghQdhqyzExsyA89C0JQp7vLQj8uJzGppwol7FQ7W8i3kRC1DVlJ7aRqEm1EDmBKtDeTx6lgAHAuD9EozhnLxRiM3W62ZlN6bKOp1bQJZA9Gr6eg/s1600-h/1.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275679380402318258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifk18uoDWJ5ZCKKeFWRHnbMJZgooKRghQdhqyzExsyA89C0JQp7vLQj8uJzGppwol7FQ7W8i3kRC1DVlJ7aRqEm1EDmBKtDeTx6lgAHAuD9EozhnLxRiM3W62ZlN6bKOp1bQJZA9Gr6eg/s800/1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsX13iKKpT84tQcKce3H7GFzs4zvulb0bJlkta5qhuGgTKxC67-IOTZ35eoPWtTI2hesaJvEgfV9xhOyOd1cdJqtP8R1eqp6GJc1_L0wDbJhLZHxzdm69F3wS_XCCp8YsZjlzm97bROw/s1600-h/2.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275679372772048130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsX13iKKpT84tQcKce3H7GFzs4zvulb0bJlkta5qhuGgTKxC67-IOTZ35eoPWtTI2hesaJvEgfV9xhOyOd1cdJqtP8R1eqp6GJc1_L0wDbJhLZHxzdm69F3wS_XCCp8YsZjlzm97bROw/s800/2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> This next photo is the first piece (there are 3) simply set down on the cabinet.

They were so meticulous, getting everything lined up and completely flat. The whole process (minus the time they took to go back to the shop) probably took 2 hours. In the photo below you can see the edge of the counter and how thin it is. I wanted a really thick profile, so they joined two 3/4" slabs to make the front profile 1.5" thick. (They had it in 1 1/4" thickness as well but they didn't have enough to do my counters). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80CMyaB9BWPV6LmDDDgy9fhNZ17w21ihyphenhyphenInlWQlVLpOST1VuuOresmNITrHXjwG3K9abE0RLAygxFPK0rwFaKDaJckPX8o3GOutQSpYuD7SOpAAdC4ETx73oIAxCCEZA6fY7AlffGJGw/s1600-h/5.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275681922888064962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80CMyaB9BWPV6LmDDDgy9fhNZ17w21ihyphenhyphenInlWQlVLpOST1VuuOresmNITrHXjwG3K9abE0RLAygxFPK0rwFaKDaJckPX8o3GOutQSpYuD7SOpAAdC4ETx73oIAxCCEZA6fY7AlffGJGw/s800/5.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> Here are some photos of it once it was installed. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xsuNW9P262dTTRkug3ZfN0HzzTgr9J5PcAXNau-aRouiAxBhenixVopHm-ixKWanA7Ih8ouH52ll8LDTXWdPOp8REQVNkCZXAMnT_RsKbfOpNkNUhvZ5PpI1y7jqyADGOojS1beqzrk/s1600-h/6.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275683035909926450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xsuNW9P262dTTRkug3ZfN0HzzTgr9J5PcAXNau-aRouiAxBhenixVopHm-ixKWanA7Ih8ouH52ll8LDTXWdPOp8REQVNkCZXAMnT_RsKbfOpNkNUhvZ5PpI1y7jqyADGOojS1beqzrk/s800/6.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><table align="center"><tbody><tr><td align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OaD62LZT2Hi2-5OKWM3OJ9WvSu9dSh47KEBqsh3RNm3iUyyPg1zuU0vPPdL6Kf9Jlmc9lb2WbFdVeBQWmYDq_Y9yUaz8j2XC7hCScs1M3gxkpmh_UxGpfAtjexFeVk3ml4daIdZHa8c/s1600-h/7.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275683032706682066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OaD62LZT2Hi2-5OKWM3OJ9WvSu9dSh47KEBqsh3RNm3iUyyPg1zuU0vPPdL6Kf9Jlmc9lb2WbFdVeBQWmYDq_Y9yUaz8j2XC7hCScs1M3gxkpmh_UxGpfAtjexFeVk3ml4daIdZHa8c/s800/7.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a></td><td align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGD5YMl5aIvxgT5O5HA61LIWx5pw4eiHX_DymwMxnP-8pn0FGOByazU6l3FwZ9IgU-Ae6EmDKBGKCbBRo4Xel_MrfZ9H3RF7otEtPbUTLYbDTKRmkLnzw5SsPRYlqQfNLSSeTY5Jcu9Gc/s1600-h/8.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275683028233919714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGD5YMl5aIvxgT5O5HA61LIWx5pw4eiHX_DymwMxnP-8pn0FGOByazU6l3FwZ9IgU-Ae6EmDKBGKCbBRo4Xel_MrfZ9H3RF7otEtPbUTLYbDTKRmkLnzw5SsPRYlqQfNLSSeTY5Jcu9Gc/s800/8.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggOKglkC6wx19uaQElEFvVWm_GdKgJAa2zTKw5wagL8iKO_5-s4S5iasYQJPZTVqpm6pXkjHHCv-4UlHLx6B-aYBvmr86YEVK9kenvxNoJZDNteg9D5wagID5BEpgnRGv4b0PlQwhtsJo/s1600-h/9.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275683031580434370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggOKglkC6wx19uaQElEFvVWm_GdKgJAa2zTKw5wagL8iKO_5-s4S5iasYQJPZTVqpm6pXkjHHCv-4UlHLx6B-aYBvmr86YEVK9kenvxNoJZDNteg9D5wagID5BEpgnRGv4b0PlQwhtsJo/s800/9.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> They also siliconed my sink in place, which might I say looks fantastic. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsMhAVtTGDvCHfRB4wApKTcbGOLAiyD6Q1ztGkX1f4SdWRtlj4rQMol6Cb_YTprfR1kLg8JGPBIA0qIMVW-ZlXUnRDTg55mOy4aLgi-22EzxDcsv2szBAGe4VOLlJwSfTDM9M-oiMqY8/s1600-h/10.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275683952479124210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsMhAVtTGDvCHfRB4wApKTcbGOLAiyD6Q1ztGkX1f4SdWRtlj4rQMol6Cb_YTprfR1kLg8JGPBIA0qIMVW-ZlXUnRDTg55mOy4aLgi-22EzxDcsv2szBAGe4VOLlJwSfTDM9M-oiMqY8/s800/10.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> Here are some photos I took to try and show the detail in the quartz, and the edging that they they did a SUPER job on.

I really do love single hole faucets - such a clean look. And I finally got around to painting out the window frame - which was supposed to be centred over the sink but ended up centred over the cabinet. No big deal - hence the placement of the vase as a distraction. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7DN1JAEGwxh_GuPsfO614rMpHRef8cUwTIg1zm3pT14VApcj92OWNw0olH6QF2DxBRhPs37FtJd92CNCi5jUvCocELwAi7tz-ro01Bdmla2mdku1H1MkrPNL4CB0B6p8q2oj8-j18v2s/s1600-h/11.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275685190723794578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7DN1JAEGwxh_GuPsfO614rMpHRef8cUwTIg1zm3pT14VApcj92OWNw0olH6QF2DxBRhPs37FtJd92CNCi5jUvCocELwAi7tz-ro01Bdmla2mdku1H1MkrPNL4CB0B6p8q2oj8-j18v2s/s800/11.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMezPsrrYoPSbsrtwQ8ksBv7OsSnlEx0a-ENkaySIvRwnoM-kNBKWFMqH_LFlEXhYWv2u5XNY-IOY-ozJGxvpBgbNSIr87ttRn9pXztCAubYk7oN4BJx9EXa_jgRb5TBv9G79nbx_hd24/s1600-h/12.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275685176728157922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMezPsrrYoPSbsrtwQ8ksBv7OsSnlEx0a-ENkaySIvRwnoM-kNBKWFMqH_LFlEXhYWv2u5XNY-IOY-ozJGxvpBgbNSIr87ttRn9pXztCAubYk7oN4BJx9EXa_jgRb5TBv9G79nbx_hd24/s800/12.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> P.S. For those folks in Ottawa looking for a countertop, check out <a href="http://planetgranite.ca/" target="blank">Planet Granite</a>. Sue was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was very accommodating. NOTE (end of March 2009): I take back what I said about Planet Granite. They WERE a pleasure to deal with UNTIL they installed my backsplash which I was completely dissatisfied with and to date, they have not fixed it. They were impossible to get a hold of, and after calling them about 15 times and I finally spoke to the owner, nothing has been resolved. (Oh - and Sue no longer works there).

Lighting completed

This blog chronicles my entire kitchen renovation from start to finish. Greentea Design has provided me with their solid wood <a href="http://www.greenteadesign.com/kitchen-cabinets.html" target="blank">kitchen cabinets</a>, and I'm taking care of the rest. If you'd like to be brought up to date, check out the archive in the sidebar for previous posts. I posted recently about the arrival of the appliances and some other odds and ends, and now for the completed lighting. The lighting and wiring in my new kitchen is FINALLY completed. Everyone always says how key lighting is in a space and guess what? They're RIGHT!! The kitchen looked great once the cabinets were in but now that it's properly lit, WOW - the cabinets look even more fabulous. What a difference from the old kitchen, with one ceiling fan with 3 lights, and a lamp on the counter. Now I have 9 potlights, 3 pendants, 2 wall lamps and under-cabinet light strips. Funny thing is now that the kitchen is so well lit, all the other rooms have such crappy lighting in comparison. Here are a few photos of the kitchen taken right after the electrician finished up (hood fan was mid-installation). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxCzcEq4vCGiCVDzSWR59sjKnAFnvMSr0EeyYxjTubijXWQeVtzNkS2eVS2lXhxGYqCkzQ-BR_wnJh4SgPDyxPeXq86fcEz_XFISUiEfNLmkvM_tx6-8dhreoropsEPwm-mbST4mZC-E/s1600-h/kitchen1.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274289261892344146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxCzcEq4vCGiCVDzSWR59sjKnAFnvMSr0EeyYxjTubijXWQeVtzNkS2eVS2lXhxGYqCkzQ-BR_wnJh4SgPDyxPeXq86fcEz_XFISUiEfNLmkvM_tx6-8dhreoropsEPwm-mbST4mZC-E/s800/kitchen1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmhNxGvjMFgDl4QuD3Ur-sZtPo3F4xw9Cb6hObLT4FYrkeEIZWNqN6MOaXm8Sm_4omyZ80YINsbDvMRCJnjU1cMJQy5clTxpshjsfMhsXL6Jj4jedYPz9m-7tqB5oM5W0Ye44ICChJs0/s1600-h/kitchen2.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274289258155194562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmhNxGvjMFgDl4QuD3Ur-sZtPo3F4xw9Cb6hObLT4FYrkeEIZWNqN6MOaXm8Sm_4omyZ80YINsbDvMRCJnjU1cMJQy5clTxpshjsfMhsXL6Jj4jedYPz9m-7tqB5oM5W0Ye44ICChJs0/s800/kitchen2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> The pendants I bought at <a href="http://www.crawfordalexander.ca/" target="blank">Crawford Alexander</a> turned out to be a perfect fit with the look I was going for. They are industrial and fun and quirky...and since I have no dining table yet, everyone is cursing them because we've all bashed our heads on them numerous times. I have regular bulbs in them but because of the shape of them they give off hardly any light so I have to pick up some floodlights to use instead. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB00g3aBi7XNM43eZr5EXiLZ8oZgIFsRbEoeLY1rybmkj3XlXjsM035ymny3E5fuuTo3npOc1yvo7qmmnA0TztOZAFWXABh2f2Gq25JGe3MAeQPk-AbWq1z1JNEk-EuTMRykwOtLOxL7A/s1600-h/pendants.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274291563077111826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB00g3aBi7XNM43eZr5EXiLZ8oZgIFsRbEoeLY1rybmkj3XlXjsM035ymny3E5fuuTo3npOc1yvo7qmmnA0TztOZAFWXABh2f2Gq25JGe3MAeQPk-AbWq1z1JNEk-EuTMRykwOtLOxL7A/s800/pendants.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv46YAKJ2yMzBEGNiNYMQmJ_eKwv-sASpyS_VpmYYs3HVX8-DmW3QeCLgKI0rxSbZUwpMVzdNnxbj9JAN18JHXgYOnQNCVzJB4Llakn0e4AHwudXC1T1y8Hx4QBNnD4cnY10ACHQE4_Pk/s1600-h/pendants_close.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274291561347476418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv46YAKJ2yMzBEGNiNYMQmJ_eKwv-sASpyS_VpmYYs3HVX8-DmW3QeCLgKI0rxSbZUwpMVzdNnxbj9JAN18JHXgYOnQNCVzJB4Llakn0e4AHwudXC1T1y8Hx4QBNnD4cnY10ACHQE4_Pk/s800/pendants_close.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><a name="post16"></a> I am so happy I finally decided to purchase Tolomeos.

I had this one made for $150. I need to find some shelves to attach to it to hold spice jars, utensils etc. Potlights are a must, as I quickly learned. I had no clue on where they should go or how many I should have, so I got alot of help from my electrician. There are 9 in total, strategically placed over the sink, the stove, the fridge, the pantry and a few others. They illuminate the cabinets and appliances beautifully. They were a headache to install because the drywall and wood panelling in the ceiling had to come down so they could go up, but it was well worth it. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2eGxgljv73WmUV1BQaP0JV0XlBaE2yJKMYCfvze-7YFOQkZNDjUnWDOnOhyphenhyphenHTvMRGr1-Y_QQ9RmAttCUwJp_zAsa1GgcPP_0-OKrkLe2XN2fwgVF1jQNGHWpxrxh12kczpXrU2pzGkII/s1600-h/potlights.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274297187865407010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2eGxgljv73WmUV1BQaP0JV0XlBaE2yJKMYCfvze-7YFOQkZNDjUnWDOnOhyphenhyphenHTvMRGr1-Y_QQ9RmAttCUwJp_zAsa1GgcPP_0-OKrkLe2XN2fwgVF1jQNGHWpxrxh12kczpXrU2pzGkII/s800/potlights.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> There are also lighting strips installed under the upper cabinets that are great to illuminate the countertop on that end of the kitchen where I will probably end up doing the most prepping. The uppers are not built with an overhang so my contractor has built a simple valance to hide the lighting strips and wires but hasn't completed it yet because he has to re-stain it in the hopes of matching the cabinet colour. There are 2 strips, and they have a low setting that gives off a yellowish light and a high setting that gives off a bright white light. Hard to photograph but here's the idea. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1s67Qd4OLlfP8PXLrAdfUjvVfvF406Psh0BHij-VMWqhSdmTyWVnr-romRXc5gBFwFkXAunvoUJ7i5RxU9Zc9K7LWEyt2ZiEn9Db06rgiyjqsyY74-0O_V14Gnz6gwEHUflpP010Wf8/s1600-h/yellow.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274298694786421314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1s67Qd4OLlfP8PXLrAdfUjvVfvF406Psh0BHij-VMWqhSdmTyWVnr-romRXc5gBFwFkXAunvoUJ7i5RxU9Zc9K7LWEyt2ZiEn9Db06rgiyjqsyY74-0O_V14Gnz6gwEHUflpP010Wf8/s800/yellow.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaV6qkG8NztLBMUGqng2ar_fMv997l3pruNPnuQ2JJs5zEWVIP-X7bL_mYSUjcPDfSAUUZ3JvQInYFJGZ-pBv1fYFqwlJd1JlTWqcHybQZ3-vbE-afzo8SQBWWJbufB1-daw6D5SFWqB8/s1600-h/white.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274298680632451346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaV6qkG8NztLBMUGqng2ar_fMv997l3pruNPnuQ2JJs5zEWVIP-X7bL_mYSUjcPDfSAUUZ3JvQInYFJGZ-pBv1fYFqwlJd1JlTWqcHybQZ3-vbE-afzo8SQBWWJbufB1-daw6D5SFWqB8/s800/white.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> Later on this week I'll show you what all this looks like with the countertop installed.

More kitchen progress

This blog chronicles my entire kitchen renovation from start to finish. Greentea Design has provided me with their solid wood <a href="http://www.greenteadesign.com/kitchen-cabinets.html" target="blank">kitchen cabinets</a>, and I'm taking care of the rest. If you'd like to be brought up to date, check out the archive in the sidebar for previous posts. I posted recently about the arrival of the cabinets, and now for the arrival of the appliances and some other odds and ends that have been completed. Since my last post things have been moving along in my kitchen. The end is near and I could not be happier with the way the space has turned out, and I am dying to cook my first meal in probably 6 weeks. This post is going to be a bit random, of different projects that have progressed, and next time I'll show you details of the lighting. Let me start with the arrival of the appliances. I was so stoked to see them in the kitchen. To finally have a fridge that has a freezer in it...to be able to have ice in my drinks without having to go down to the chest freezer in the basement and bash a bag of ice on the ground. It was a scary sight to see them being moved into the house though, let me tell you. The movers removed all the packaging and then carried them into the house, through my narrow front door in the pouring rain up my rickety steps. I held my breath. The stove, I was told, weighs about 500 lbs. Amazingly, it survived the trip into the house. It was left in the middle of the floor while it awaited the gas guy's visit for the hook up. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCbnzbnta60ISbZ4tV0y7-e3zgQugWQmafM1CVgvPgq3MLgII6-8JveH3LaqAF8fHlvwNxQJnm24wEOXswrf_2LJi6HwIzDlqgmG7GL4VcioyX7RPzzF-aDFqhyw7ugKTKwK4I-QHZTUs/s1600-h/fridge.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272358942041198578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCbnzbnta60ISbZ4tV0y7-e3zgQugWQmafM1CVgvPgq3MLgII6-8JveH3LaqAF8fHlvwNxQJnm24wEOXswrf_2LJi6HwIzDlqgmG7GL4VcioyX7RPzzF-aDFqhyw7ugKTKwK4I-QHZTUs/s800/fridge.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAKFX2BT2uTUPyPxkhfupsFTQbRG9oWUkr94Q-Q2Xlr-_qM_4GuiFWQ0ZdIIHk3AmA_qXXky5DeDsG05SoKse8IeH6Ao3EPN02_9pIPYKYvKEekmVLZLL8yv9ShWlo2nEg7AXb5ijmT2k/s1600-h/stove.jpg" target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272358934528790706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAKFX2BT2uTUPyPxkhfupsFTQbRG9oWUkr94Q-Q2Xlr-_qM_4GuiFWQ0ZdIIHk3AmA_qXXky5DeDsG05SoKse8IeH6Ao3EPN02_9pIPYKYvKEekmVLZLL8yv9ShWlo2nEg7AXb5ijmT2k/s800/stove.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> The uppers were installed, in about 15 minutes, while I was upstairs locked in my bedroom with the cats.

I LOVE it - the view isn't the greatest, but I'll have to do something to the side of my shed to make it a bit more appealing. The best part is the contractor said he could install it so there is a nice 8" or so ledge where I could put a plant or the cats could perch. He did such a great job on the framing.
