Our kitchen design process has been like a presidential campaign: full of passionate idealism that evaporated in the face of reality. Paul has been cast as John McCain… a man who was doing just fine until he saddled himself with a woman who could see Russia from her house. If you have planned your dictatorship correctly, your subjects will be unable to rally support from outside sources/are powerless to overthrow you anytime soon/you can put whatever you want over your sink and no one can stop you.
If you look at the preliminary mockups for our kitchen remodel… you’ll see that originally, I thought I would come around to upper-cabinets on the sink wall. They are practical and offer things like storage; which I hear people value in a kitchen. But ultimately, I’ve decided I don’t like the idea of boxing out/bulking up that wall… I want to keep the sink wall as OPEN as possible.
I spent some time trying to find a substitute more inline with our budget… but ultimately decided that the LAST thing I need is to be cleaning a bunch of superlong glass shelves. It brightens up the space SO MUCH, and totally guarantees that cleaning is even more of an utter nightmare!
