Here are a couple photos of the Kitchen before making dinner last night. The stainless steel table is great for preparing the food and really finishes off the space. All that is left is the installation of the Ikea light fixture above the table and finding 4 stools (looking for dark wood) that will fit under the table towards the left side.
The Stainless Steel Table company came and unwelded (is that the right word?) the tabletop from the bottom legs and shelves and managed to get all into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen they re-welded it and put it in place!
The Kitchen’s nearly complete, B has to do a couple more things and the custom made Stainless Steel Table which is over 9 feet long has arrived but can not fit through the doors (after we had them measure twice and they promised it will fit). So tomorrow they will take off the metal legs and then re-weld it together in the kitchen! We plan to do our cutting and a lot of food preparation on the table and on the far side by the door to the wet kitchen add a few stools so we can sit around it while we cook, maybe eat in the kitchen if it’s not too hot. It will be nice to get it in place. I added a few plates and asian bowls on the shelves as a sample how it will look, but need to get some stacks of plates and bowls (like I see in the cooking shops in Thailand and Malaysia and some places in the Middle East). The idea was to have it look like a working kitchen where the plates and bowls could be grabbed as needed, not as a ‘display shelf’ so I guess I better take down those display plates on the top shelf because they aren’t looking right at all.
Table badly needed in center of room!
Above is a close up shot of the Hava handles used on some of the cabinets. The other handles are Ikea Lansa (not our favorite design, but the only ones we could find which were long enough for the tall pantry doors).
