Since we have now gotten away from the original spammer...a few items we put
into our new kitchen for the group's info.
-pot filler faucet (faucets.com for about $135)
-using a tile mural backdrop to the range.
-we had an awkward six inch space to make up in a few places in the kitchen
so we had small fold down step ladders built into the cabinets. My wife is
4'11" so these come in real handy for her. They fold up, become hidden when
not in use and we don't need a step stool in the kitchen anymore.
-dirt colored (well you know what I mean) tiles for flooring for the obvious
reasons
-greenhouse window insert for herbs
-ceiling fan
-two pantries (one for food and one for equipment)
