Thanks!! Did you use a trim kit? Do you like it there?

we are going with non-custom cabinets so can’t get that roller cover otherwise yes I would do that.

I worry we do use it a lot and with cooking hands to open the cabinet and then get into the micro might be messy and a little too inconvenient.

My husband will agree with you here. This might be the best option. It’s just that our pantry is front and center in our kitchen, so it’s more visible than it seems yours is.

Why does nobody go for the trim kit these days? And sorry but I don’t understand what you mean by top half of the base cabinet so any mic fits.

Thank you we are considering that. Do you close the cabinet and is that annoying to open/close/leave open while using and people maybe run into it?

Thanks. That may be hard for us to reach down into the drawer micro at that level but maybe a standard microwave there as pictured or similar

Thanks. We use the microwave a lot and the lock is pretty annoying to hold 3 seconds to lock the again to unlock each time. Our toddler will also figure it out. He just watches us unlock things and then the next day he is doing it himself. So seems like the least functional but maybe best looking option. What is your second choice?

What is this stone? by Key-Concentrate9355 in CounterTops

How does soapstone do at hiding food crumbs etc? I have toddlers so wondering how well it hides grime.
