Stuck in Florida

Evidentally it is raining in Boston, so without a showroom I will blog about my parents new kitchen. New is an operative term, because they had cabinets without the granite for probably 6 months. Probably the first good lesson about kitchen design is hire good people



My folks have managed to accomplish good and bad within the same space.

Lighting:

The Good:

I like the Tech Orbs on either side of the sink. Small, unobtrusive yet decorative.



LED undercabinet...uses 10 watts per strip instead of 170 with halogen based undercabinet.



The Bad:

5 inch recessed on a short ceiling. It would have been neater with a smaller can like a 4 inch or a low voltage.



Appliances:

The appliances aren't actually new, but are decent: Shallow depth refrigerator, electric slide-in, over the range microwave with a Miele dishwasher being the splurge.







Overall, not bad.
