I like wooden floors.

>>16660132
Granite is nice, but pricey and pretentious.
Tile makes a great alternative.

>>16660150
I have them, but can be tricky to clean..

>>16660132
When the revolution comes we’re gonna eat you first.

>>16660168
Granite is trash, its the new laminate, its already outdated and comes in ugly yellowish beige colors.

Get soapstone, or Solid surface types

>>16660132
Why wouldn't you just get stainless steel countertops like in restaurants? If it's good enough for daily professional use, it's good enough for me. You think professional kitchens are using granite or marble countertops? Get real.

>>16660132
Sorry, couldn't hear you
>looks better
Looks awesome and timeless. Whereas a cold, soulless rock looks like you're LARPing as a disney villain
>cheaper
Enough said
>easy to repair
My counter gets chipped, it's a couple hours to fix. Your counter gets chipped, you have to pay for a new one.
>non heat resistent
actually a feature since it keeps you from putting hot cookware directly on your counter like a dummy
>can have any pattern you want
whereas the rock is stuck with its natural rock pattern.

So I think it's obvious which counter is the winner here.

>>16660184
>Why wouldn't you just get stainless steel countertops like in restaurants?
because a house is somewhere people will live

>>16660132
>cant use bleach

>>16660184
these are a good pick, but the look can be ugly.

>>16660200
And a kitchen is somewhere people cook. And stainless steel is the most durable, lowest maintenance, and most easily cleaned surface for food preparation.

>>16660132
Enjoy your hazy scratched Carrera marble. Marble is the wrong stone for countertops. Too soft. Shoulda went with granite or engineered stone.

>based utility appreciater

>>16660382
Granite is ugly as fuck though.. soapstone is actually really tough, and Home Depot sells “solid surfaces” whicu are basically engineered earth slabs. Incredibly durable

>>16660400
Some granite is ugly, yes. How about this elegant brown, though?

>>16660440

>>16660440
Not bad. But the backsplash isnt the prettiest. But that’s subjective

>tfw use laminate

>tfw afford to replace it every week

I'm so over glass mosaics, myself. Passing fad of the day.

>>16660502
Your cabinets are beautiful tho

>>16660485
Here's a better pic.

>>16660440
I would hit my head on that fucking dumb column all the time

>>16660508
Not mine. Was an install into a high-end retirement home we did. One point five million $ in stone alone.

>>16660205
Pull back on the acronyms only you know there chief.
Catch more flies with honey...

>>16660523
Funny thing is that the column has no purpose, really. Dumb architect's design to sort of divide the room.

>>16660557
Modern day architecture is trash

>>16660557

>not comfy wooden benchtops made with locally sourced native wood
ngmi

>>16660910
I'd go with wood or stainless steel desu. Do you need to reseal them regularly?

>>16660958
idk I live in a shitty student flat with laminates but one day I will have my own comfy wooden benchtops

>>16660965
Based. Looks nice, anon.

>>16660168
it's a pain in the ass to clean the grout lines.

>>16660179
lol no. soapstone is trendy, but only for certain designs and it stains easily. also it depends on the solid surface. if you're talking corian, that shit went out of style decades ago

>>16660184
because not every design is going for industrial

>>16660910

>>16660184
>If it's good enough for daily professional use

Doing blow in the stock room and coughing into the roux is good enough for professional restaurants. Are you gonna clean your shit down with bleach because "Fuck it, it's late" Do you like cooking with expired meat because "just wash the smell off, it's fine"

>>16660382
man, the first correct answer so far in this thread

>>16660132
I hate dark granite countertops because you can’t tell when they’re dirty

>>16660983
>it's a pain in the ass to clean the grout lines.
Nope.
Windex and a paper towel does the job fine.
It's not like it's perpetually wet like in the shower.

>>16660516
>Here's a better dick.
ftfy

>>16660440
not a fan of the backsplash or that column, but i like that countertop a LOT with the rest of the color scheme.

whats with the silver circle on each cabinet? locks?

>>16660910
>>16660958
Wood is really nice, but it definitely needs extra care to prevent stains, especially from spills

>>16661061
>needs extra care
don't worry I respect wood

>>16661025
God, this post is like a ptsd flashback. "nah, that's just the cryvac bag smell, its fine"

>>16660132
>literally fighting over counter top materials

The industry standard is stainless steel. You're asking for your marble countertop to be stained if you actually do any cooking on it retard.

Also don't leave any cans or metal on it cause it will stain. Enjoy your high upkeep moron top.

>>16661036
BS. Having to wipe the crumbs out of the cracks, especially if they're small tile? fuck that.

>>16660910
This would be cool except my cupboards are all oak colored so it would probably look shitty

>>16660382
Hold on, is this guy serious? If marble is soft and prone to scratches how come most houses in hot regions like spain and north africa are completely made of marble? Marble floor, marble stairs, marble countertops. How the fuck is it soft and prone to scratching, you literally need diamond to cut it. Maybe if you're talking about "Carrera marble" in particular but marble isn't soft otherwise they wouldn't literally make stairs out of it you fraud

>>16660201
I do all of those things except citric and my counter is fine.

>>16661139
>everything in your home should be industry standard based on how easy it is to clean
I guess I should model my home exactly like this then

>>16660184
>Why wouldn't you just get stainless steel countertops like in restaurants?
Why wouldn't you get ugly office carpet in your bedroom?

tastelet in more ways than one it seems

>>16661230
never said it couldnt be aesthetic I only suggested that strictly doing things because they are "industry standard" and easy to clean is borderline robotic

>>16661230
looks like someone LARPing the 1960s idea of the future

>>16661230

how is that stainless set up compared to others in terms of cost?

If you have to ask. The only possibility of having something like that made is literally out of cheap Chinese steel and Chinese welders working for $0.qt an hour without safety certifications or standards whatsoever and then having them fix issues repeatedly for the five years until even the drawers actually work like they are supposed to.

Never.

>>16661012
Soapstone doesnt stain easy at all, not any more vulnerable than the others

>>16661527
not sure if you have enough electrical outlets friend. nice kitchen though would cook in

>>16661527
Very bland, cookie cutter. Nothing special

>>16660370
Straight up. It's also the most hygienic and kills bacteria in a few hours by itself.
Fuck these fools that care about looks. Function over form.

>>16661885
Not everyone wants to live in an industrialized cold kitchen. Some of us have families…

>>16661885

You lack vision.

why are you living in your kitchen? you cook in your kitchen and you live in the bedrooms and lounge rooms.

>>16661208
>Why wouldn't you get ugly office carpet in your bedroom?

i do its great. it was shit for the first 3 years but after that its worn in and is pretty soft.

>>16660516
>>16660440
god that is fucking ugly.

>>16660965
>>16660910

>>16661230
>everything grey and white

fucking soulless.

>>16661913
Looks more like a garage workshop

>>16660443
steel looks good

>>16661230
this stuff looks fine, do you guys need a rainbow in your kitchen or something?

>>16661913
as one of the 1% of this board that actually cooks and isn't a drug addict I hungrily covet this

>>16661913
functional but extremely uncomfy. kitchen is the centre piece of many homes. people gather in the kitchen, its where people meet in the mornings and at night, its where you begin and end your day. this looks like a workshop, i would hate it.

you can also tell that anyone that would have this kitchen is a professional or someone memeing as a professional and would take everything way seriously when home cooking is supposed to be fun and happy and something you share with friends and family.

>>16662116
>people gather in the kitchen,
people gather in the living room, or maybe thats just me

>>16662116
and ill tell you something else: the empty glass fruit bowl sitting in the middle of that giant steel island perfectly illustrates my point. home kitchen is supposed to be warm.

>>16661913
What's that dispenser above the sink

>>16662124
people gather in the living room too but a lot of homes are open plan. also growing up with a big family at thanksgiving and stuff people were constantly in the kitchen. helping out, drinking, laughing. stainless steel "professional" style kitchen with fucking paper towel dispenser and hand sanitizer on the wall isnt conducive to that.

>>16662133
it will be like industrial sanitizer, either for hands or for dishes, or both.

>>16662116
I agree that the paper towel and sanitizer dispensers are way tryhard, but everything else looks comfy to me. I'd hang out in there.

>>16662128
can you explain what you mean by warm? to me a functional kitchen makes good food and drink available for everyone at anytime, this would make people happy.
no squeezing past each other to get coffee in the morning, no waiting until person 1 is finished so you can make you lunch, no tiny cupboards that get cluttered and stop people from being able to do what the need to effectively which would out them in bad moods

Hello

>>16660132
>posts a photo from Google
>pretends to not be a poor piece of shit
You’re really so desperate to do epin laminate meme?

>>16661913
Wall-mounted paper towel and soap dispensers? This is a weird bastard of a kitchen.

>>16662134
Every home party I've ever been to, people congregate in the kitchen as well as elsewhere.

>>16662153
concrete?

>>16662153
Now THIS is uncomfy. I don't want my kitchen to feel like some fucking commieblock or construction site.

>>16662146
did you grow up with a galley kitchen or something? warm means it feels like home, not like work. you want to be in there. like you want to be in there stirring the sauce while your mum is chopping veggies or something.

comfiest kitchen style is country/farmhouse and it isnt even close. picrel is not perfect but its a decent representation i found quick on google

>stop people from being able to do what the need to effectively which would out them in bad moods
this is what i meant by
>you can also tell that anyone that would have this kitchen is a professional or someone memeing as a professional and would take everything way seriously when home cooking is supposed to be fun and happy and something you share with friends and family.
youre neurotic about cooking. slow down at home, dont be so serious. not everything is extreme efficiency all the time. are you german or something?

>>16662176
Concrete is based

>>16662183
this looks a lot more the kitchen i grew up with and is not necessarily what i think is the comfiest... it seems a bit cookie cutter now but thats ok, it was always comfy on the holidays.

>>16662183
>warm means it feels like home, not like work. you want to be in there
any kitchen feels like home to me, its where im most comfortable in a house. when i have worked in kitchens or gone to culinary school i preferred being there than being at home.
>youre neurotic about cooking. slow down at home, dont be so serious. not everything is extreme efficiency all the time
family seems to want the result not the process, food is what makes them happy so ive adapted to that, making them happy makes me happy.

>>16662204
>stovetop near eating counter
sheesh

>>16662210
oops, meant to reply to >>16662193

>>16662206
i think i phrased this wrong.
i love to cook and prep food, when its easier/smoother i enjoy it more, functional kitchens make it easier

>>16662206
so you are saying you cook for your family not necessarily with your family so you are mainly the one in there? or no? idk. anyway i think for a lot of people the kitchen is the part of the house that is most associated with family and togetherness. usually first thing in the morning you go down to the kitchen and you see loved ones for the first time in there. the dining room is usually right next to if not in the kitchen where you eat your dinners together and talk about your day. there is usually a bench where people can eat breakfast and snacks or sit and have a drink while others cook. when i was a kid i would sometimes do my homework at this bench while mum cooked. professional style with stainless countertops and towel dispensers and things feels weird and stiff, like being in the kitchens at a school cafeteria. like its just a place to work and then get out, like your garage or laundry room.

>>16662231
>so you are saying you cook for your family not necessarily with your family so you are mainly the one in there?
absolutely, i like to be alone while in the home kitchen and find it difficult when someone walks in.
the rest sounds nice.

>>16660910
>>16660965
how bout the wood/quartz combo?

>>16662245
I didn't know there was such thing as a tryhard kitchen other tham stainless. Quartz and wood go together well but that layout is gaudy.

>>16662266
looks cool to me I want to climb the ladder and pretend I'm some kind of food librarian when people come over I could collect obscure and exotic things from the top shelfs

>>16662133
>>16662162
Haha, yes, let's just use a communal brick of soap, and all use the same towel. Covid? Sweetie, kids can't even get that! Yeah I feed my children expired food, how could you tell?

>>16662330
theres literally nothing wrong with expired food

>>16660965
Comfy as fuck.

>>16661913
I want this, don’t care about aesthetics. Form follows function.

>>16661913
this looks like an airport bathroom

>>16660557
how would you know? it's probably load bearing

>>16663404
Ah, yes, the ever-popular load-bearing countertop pillar. Are you retarded?

>>16663422
In that case the countertop would be built around the pillar, so you wouldn't be able to tell either way from that angle. there could be a narrower structural element under the counter and plastered with decorative wood above the counter

>>16660910
winrar

>>16662245
before anyone says it is stupid to have a ladder rail above the range hood that sticks it out, you can easily lift the ladder onto the island to access the storage compartment above the hood.

>>16662631
Stainless picks up scratches and looks shitty. My sink is stainless and it has picked up scratches and a dent

>>16660440
Holy shit Americans really do not have taste for interior design what the actual fuck is that abomination.

>>16661527
I feel like I could remove several design elements and it would all look significantly better.
The cabinets are overly ornate, the backsplash is not uniformly gray for some reason, there's a fucking arch above the hood??? the backsplash over the stove is fucking whyyyyy, and the stove itself pops out and is rounded when everything else has sharp corners. Also there's wayyy too many colors shades going on. You want countertop color, wall/backsplash color, cabinet color and accent (hood, stove, fridge, grips) color. This has egshell cabinets, gray 1 countertop, gray 2 backsplash, gray 3 stove backsplash, white wall color and balck + brushed alu accent colors. So much going on when it required so little effort to actually look good.

>>16662134
Are you this fragile, little pissbaby? The sight of a piece of steel makes it impossible to enjoy the company of friends? Sounds like you and your friends have shitty personalities that require cozy accoutrements in order to mask how dull and worthless you are. Nice job.

>>16663548
Look how the hood is designed ... it might go right over it perfectly.

>>16660132
Nice. Put those counter cucks in their place kek.

>>16662193
Fucking ugly and souless.

>>16663719
Or maybe not, the rail could just extend that far for aesthetics.
It doesn't look like it would matter much for access.
There aren't any upper cabinets over the range, just those bookshelf-like shelves.

>>16661527
>cabinets not reaching the ceiling

>>16661547
>you dont know the yay science name for a mutation, you must be new to my secret club on a Maori slampoetry image board.

>>16662180
So the concrete...doesn’t look like a commie block or a construction site?

>>16663808
Nicer houses have 9 feet ceilings and lots of them have vaulted ceilings. It doesnt make sense to take them to the ceiling

>>16663808
>It’s 2021 m8 get with it
The part of home renovation shows that always bugs me is they sell the idea of making the kitchen and the bathroom look trendy.
Like people should want to spend 10-20k every ten years to keep these rooms looking "current".

>>16663853
That trendy shit is what makes it look dated in the future. Right now people are doing grey fake wood floors and sliding barn doors. That stuff will look odd in the future

>>16663817
No, it does, that's what makes it uncomfy.

>>16663825
Facts, my home has 10 ft ceilings all around. I go into my friends and they have the standard height, feel like im in a hobbit hole.

>>16661913
Lol this is fucking atrocious. This seriously looks like some bathroom or something. Weirdest Ugly shit ive seen in a bit

>>16663866
Exactly.
My kitchen has light, traditional oak cabinets, and 4" white tile for the countertops and backsplash.
It looked fine in the early 2000's and it looks fine today.

>>16663889
>Facts, my home has 10 ft ceilings all around.
I bet your underwear comes in a plastic tube, huh?

>>16662193
i built some concrete counters for a rental place and I really like them. they aren't soulless at all--I think they look pretty warm. pretty similar to granite I'd say, but i put in some accents in the mold I made.

>>16660203
>these are a good pick, but the look can be ugly.
I imagine they'd look decent with some quality brown wood underneath.

>>16662116
I'd argue that people dine in the dining room

>>16664029
where in that post does it say that people dine in the kitchen you fucking illiterate?

>>16663643
I like how despite the post you are replying to says "family" you change it to "friends" because deep down you know you will never have a family. Real people with real families don't want to sit around industrialized environments which is understandably something you won't ever understand so no judgement but just know that stainless steel kitchen is kitchen equivalent of "muh EXPOSED RED BRICK" meme. It's cool if you're an apartment living IPA guzzling faggot with absolutely zero personality.

>>16664196

I've always wondered, how do people deal with this little space between counters and ovens? I'm always finding food and bits of soap/grease ect fall down there. I'm sure its not enough to be a big deal but it bothers me. I'm tempted to use some chalk or something but you need to be able to pull the oven out too.

>>16664565
You don't deal with anything. When you either remodel your kitchen, buy a new oven, or move out of the house you just find a big old pile of crumbs and rotten food and grease that built up over years and years and deal with it then.

>>16664565

>>16664705
It’s not a larp kitchen my guess is that it’s an actual commercial kitchen where they had to put shit in to be approved but it’s also run by fart huffing weed addled hipster faggots who wanted to make it look like a “real home kitchen”. On the other side of this is a staging area and about 4 tables.

>>16661846

I donno what to do with my kitchen
It's boomer and granny but I kinda like it I dont know if I want a full Reno
Even the giant boomer fridge is growing on me I might just do art projects on the walls to hide the sponge paint

>>16668099
Add backsplash, maybe stain the cabnetry a darker color (I like Cherry) and get black appliances. If you want to keep the yellow paint and go for a more country boomer look (I used to have it and it was nice) I'd suggest white and blue or red tiled backsplashes, swap that laminate for granite or butcher block, farmhouse basin sink, terracotta floor tiles and if you have space a bar island.

>>16667447
As long as you don't scratch the hell out of it there's nothing to worry about. Don't scrape ripping hot cast iron pots across it daily or pour pure acid all over it for long periods of time and you'll be fine.

You should be more worried about the apparent lack of counter space, electric range (vs gas), and that dirty sock on the floor.
If you're worried about aesthetics, anything other than a can of paint is going to cost you a bunch of cash.
So maybe reconsider learning to like what's essentially a decent looking kitchen, notwithstanding your obsession with inter-generational cultural warfare.

I get kitchens face some abuse, just dont be a knuckle dragging retard and it'll be fine.

>>16668372
I get that most people on /ck/ have never set foot in a kitchen in their lives, but you're being ridiculous. Stainless steel will hold up far better to most abuse than any laminate or granite counter. Just don't be a retard, that's all I'm saying, you have to really, seriously, damage stainless steel to make it rust, in a home kitchen you'd have to TRY to make it happen.

Get the fucking ugly laminate counters out. Never ever have laminate in your kitchen its a sure sign you are poor

>>16668405
>dont be a knuckle dragging retard
I guess I am, compared to your panty-wearing ass.
I just want to know how you tuck your balls into ladies underwear.
Kitchen counters shouldn't require special treatment.
Stainless steel is used in commercial applications because it gets replaced every few years, because it's not suitable for decades long use in a home kitchen.

>>16668427
Or it could be a little humid when you don't notice a bit of salt lying on it.

Not my taste at all, but I gotta admit it's pretty whimsical. If the owner treats it like its some beautiful mansion then fuck them, but if they accept that it's basically a play structure for an adult then I can't hate that

good lord those are a dime a dozen here. everywhere.

>>16668099
the wood is gorgeous. I would replace the pulls - but don't toss them, just keep them in a safe place. A tile backsplash to match the date of the kitchen, think the best of that generation of kitchens and stick with it. if you go too modern, it will look wrong. ie best of the 50s, 60s, etc. whenever the house was built.
I personally, hate those floors. they are cheap tile and look it. I would sooner put in high end vinyl or glittered epoxy

>>16668518
>the wood is gorgeous

You are aware its fucking particle board right?…. Like cheap chinese shit. Holy fuck is this board that retarded?

>>16668525
what, do you think that the shit you will buy today isn't particle board and somehow is better?

>>16668518
yeah the cabinets are beautiful.. idk what they were thinking with the slanted pulls but w/e

>>16668452
No, stainless steel is not that fragile.

Why are you talking as if a countertop will break? You can put whatever you want and it would probably last 100 years. People change countertops because they want a change in decor.

>>16668536
My solid mahogany cabinets are not particle board lol. Nice cope tho. Stick to shopping at ikea and big lots

>>16668741
Blame the modern building codes that require outlets every 3 feet for no good goddamn reason. Modern houses are required to have so many unnecessary outlets they become an eyesore.

>>16668769
the reason is because retards burn their houses down overloading shoddy extension cords if there aren't enough outlets
anyway since when is too many outlets a complaint fr??

>>16660382
Is quartz any good for counter tops? I want something easy to clean and won’t stain

>>16668769
Building codes dont dictate the number of outlets you have

>>16668881
I imagine building codes would actually limit the number of outlets you have, not the other way around

>>16668892
All that they care about in my area is that all the breakers are cgi except in the garage.

>>16660150
they ruin the acoustics

>>16668881
Receptacle every 7 feet not including doorswing in Canada on any new domicile. NEC has similar requirements. Thanks for playing!

>>16668920
I just general contracted my hoise in Iowa. No such rules here

>>16668881
>>16668892
My parents just had a house built so we got to learn that at least in our state there is a minimum number of outlets that are required. They actually wanted fewer outlets but the codes required more.

>>16669000
which state?

>>16669000
The codes are dumb. Im rural but in town you can no longer have seperate hot and cold faucets in a shower for fear of scalding

>>16668920
I thought you clowns were metric

>>16669002
Kentucky. They follow NFPA 70, which states in Article 210.52(C)(1):
>Wall Spaces. Receptacle outlets shall be installed so that no point along the wall line is more than 600 mm (24 in.) measured horizontally from a receptacle outlet in that space.
>Exception: Receptacle outlets shall not be required directly behind a range, counter-mounted cooking unit, or sink in the installation described in Figure 210.52(C)(1)
The exception to the rule reinforces the fact that they are REQUIRING outlets every 2 feet except in certain spaces that are exempt.

>>16669040
>seperate hot and cold faucets
What do you mean by that? I'm not sure how you'd have entirely separate hot and cold faucets. Do you mean they can't have two separate knobs and they have to use those twisty single-handle deals like people tend to have in their kitchens where you spin it one direction for hot and the other for cold?

>>16660440
you let a woman there for a minute and every surface will be covered in shit gathering dust

>>16669128
1 handle with a limit thing in the handle made out of plastic that wont let you turn it up too high

>>16669128
>I'm not sure how you'd have entirely separate hot and cold faucets
See what they like to do is divert the heat so u only get hot when u want it. That's how the whole thing comes together anyway. Hey look a lot if people are gonna tell u who to be and listen here kid u gotta stick with what ur herat is telling u cos that's the only compas u hot in thos world I tell u even ur parents kid they are flying by radar so dont let nobody say hey bud u need to d ok such and this that or the other cos man I tell ya things sure are crazy out there.

>>16669128
1 faucet 2 knobs. I misspoke

>>16669128
funny because I found picrel to be the actual code for standard outlets. what you posted was the code for "wall countertop and work surfaces" you dishonest fuck.

https://up.codes/viewer/kentucky/nfpa-70-2017/chapter/2/wiring-and-protection#2

>>16660150
I have marble floors.

something like this would be nice needs to be a little more functional though.
since I cook with a Wok so can't really do an electric stove. maybe something like the Pitt Cima? (but its expensive). then theres getting a range that looks sleek too.

>>16669289
>hard edge sink
hard edge pass

>>16669291
yea, that's one of the things that can be fixed. but the overall aesthetic I kinda like
(pic rel.) are the putt cima. how fucked would it be cleaning this? what kind of material can be under it if you are willing to wipe it down after use?

>>16669324
the pot holder should just lift up

>>16669324
literally nobody here has ever heard of a "putt cima" or knows what the fuck you are talking about

>>16669332
pitt cima*
its an expensive stove top that just goes on your counter. like in the pic. I just wonder if normal counters could handle that.

>>16669193
The subject was the pic here: >>16661527 which is a photo of a kitchen countertop. Why would the codes for outlets near the floor matter? We were literally talking about outlet requirements for countertops and that section I shared applies to kitchen countertops.

>>16660983
>>16660168
No, tile IS shit to clean.

Do you need to do special things to make sure you don't have shit in your grout? YES. Is tile as a counter top shit? YES

>>16669173
this movie fuckin rules.

>>16660132
Mommy and daddy just got marble countertops. I think it's nice. Too bad I'm no longer allowed in the kitchen and have to oogle them from afar.

>>16668582

>there's no line
OK
>I don't want a giant ugly bomb in my yard
Can't blame you, but you can have it buried.
>stinky fumes in my house
Not a thing.

>I have a beautiful outdoor kitchen with bottled gas when I need my gas fix
OK, but that still leaves you cooking on electric most of the time.

>>16668525
>You are aware its fucking particle board right?
You keep saying that. Not sure why you think it.

>no point along the wall line is more than 600 mm (24 in.) measured horizontally from a receptacle outlet in that space.

>they are REQUIRING outlets every 2 feet

That's actually an outlet every 4 feet.
If you have two outlets 4 feet apart, then no point along the wall line is more than 2 feet measured horizontally from an outlet.
So within two feet of the edge of the counter, then no more than 4 feet to the next, etc.
The idea is no appliance cord has to reach more than 2 feet to reach the nearest outlet.

>>16669883
Still, that's pretty much in line with what's seen in that photo, without knowing whether that house follows the exact same guideline. Point is, the building codes are likely to blame for the weird outlet positioning at the backsplash.

>>16669631
>Do you need to do special things to make sure you don't have shit in your grout? YES
I've had tile countertop for 15 years.
Just keep it dry and you won't get mildew on the grout.
I clean with Windex and a paper towel.

>>16661913
>paper towel machine

>>16669895
>Point is, the building codes are likely to blame for the weird outlet positioning at the backsplash.

Nope. That outlet could be as far as two feet right of the stove.
It's just a fuck up.
Most likely, during rough in, the electrician didn't know how wide the range backsplash would be, and/or that's where the nearest stud was.

I was an electrician for 10 years.

Thats so ugly and soulless im sorry. Just very cold

>>16670958
that's alright generally but this lights are hideous
i'd replace with cloche style

really good direct lighting over your work surface/sink is important if you actually take cooking seriously

you can use the same cable, just run it across and around hooks on the roof to be over the other side

>>16670958
Warm up some cheeky dino tendies.

It's a fucking dump and I would bet the whole house looks as pointlessly cluttered.

>>16671685
It's obviously window dressing, and not how it would look in real life.

>>16671685
Yeah, you need some laminate counters and cheap kitchen gadgets laying around, dont forget the grey and white color scheme!

>>16660965
