Needed Built-in Appliances

We didn’t have room to really enlarge the kitchen, but changing the awkward layout was certainly going to provide us with more room. Still, having built-in appliances was one of my major goals. With space at a premium there were more than enough disagreements about which appliances could fit in cabinets and which ones would be better served built-in. (Espresso Machine versus Microwave?) Luckily, our contractor was able to accommodate both. A microwave in the range hood was a great option for space saving. The Espresso Machine, which looks like a piece of art, is beautifully and permanently displayed on the built-in shelf the contractor created, including electric outlets.
