[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SO happy with my quartz countertop. (Corian Quartz) Things just wipe right up with a damp sponge.

Fully custom cabinets built by a cabinetmaker ended up being remarkably affordable, compared to what friends say they've spent. I'm glad I did that to get every inch well used in limited space.

Love love love having drawers deep enough to store pots and pans in, plus one for storing lids and cutting boards upright (on edge) so they're easy to grab. Measure your pans and anything else you want to store before committing to drawer depths and other cabinet dimensions! I also got a couple of drawers deep enough to hold those large Oxo containers in for things like flour.

I would NOT do plug mold (electrical receptacles in a strip) up under the upper cabinets. My architect thought that would keep the plugs discreetly out of the way. I said fine. But I never thought about how that would mean there would be all these cords dangling from up there to countertop appliances. And many appliances like coffeemakers and kettles have cords too short to run down from above and then across to keep the item within easy reach on the counter. It's my only design regret.

Would love the name of your cabinetmaker. We have very limited space and I want someone who can really put the space to work for us. [/quote]
