[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's so much personal preference in this!  Don't worry about getting it 'wrong', it'll just help you make the decision next time you have a choice!

My preference is to have the outlets under the top cabinets because I think it looks cleaner - unless you have an appliance that has to be plugged in all the time or one that will remain plugged in (like the coffee maker). You'll have to make sure, though, that any under-cabinet lighting you have doesn't get hot because you don't want to accidently burn yourself when going to plug/unplug something.

If you have the room, I'd suggest a drawer with a plug so you can charge device/power packs in it.  I wish I had one.  With 3 teens, we have a lot of stuff that needs charging and I hate how it loks on the counter.

My DH is handy and did this himself. I LOVE it.  We were already keeping the charged power packs in the drawer so it's nice to charge them in the same drawer.  We don't have iPads but do have Kindles that charge in there as well.  The kids' cell phones are also in there overnight as are the airpods/earbuds/headphones and anything else relatively small that needs to be charged.  It's SO much better than seeing them laying on the counter. The laptops were never charged in the kitchen - way too big.[/quote]
