Kitchen Almost Complete!

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).

Some Kitchen Cabinet Doors in and Rubine Microwave

Yesterday while we were at Ikea in Selangor, B was installing some of the Kitchen Cabinet Doors, the built in Rubine Microwave (from the Stainless Steel Uno Series) and the shelf lighting on the long wall. Our trip to Ikea was to pick up Stainless Steel handles for some of the cabinets and drawers. The only place we could find long handles for the tall pantries was at Ikea (Signature Kitchen wouldn’t sell us their long handles unless we bought our whole kitchen from them and other stores in Seremban didn't have anything). We already bought some cool special order Hava square stainless steel handles for the upper cabinets and the cabinets under the shelves (photos after they are installed) which are a great design.
