Well, I kind of did. Walked away for a bit, and then came back and tackled a totally different area. The Kitchen Bay! So what if some of my lights still aren't hooked up and nothing is glued down?
It now juts out an inch and a half further from the already added section. I also ran it all the way up to the trim, and will be moving the bathroom window out an inch, which will give a bit more privacy in the shower and a nice ledge for setting stuff.
I also began working on the lower kitchen cabinets. I started out guessing the height at 3 inches (because mine are 36" high), compared Robin to it, and subtracted an eighth of an inch because it kind of hit her at the waist, and I thought that was too high. I could PROBABLY go lower, but I'll leave it as is in case someone taller moves in. I've picked out a deep sink shape (yay honey mustard containers!) and am now facing a new dilemma. Where do I put the sink? I have two options.

| Sink offset to allow for 1.75" wide dishwasher |
 |
| Sink centered on counter |
The obvious answer is to center it on the bay window. We like symmetry. HOWEVER, I want this kitchen to have a dishwasher. The dishwasher door in the pictures is the one I pulled from the old kitchen, but it's not going to fit there if the sink is centered on the counter. I've seen narrow dishwashers online - sounds like they run about 18" wide, which is an inch and a half, so making a narrow one is certainly an option. But looking at the picture, there's all that space to the right of the sink under the cabinet. I suppose I could put three narrow doors down there, two under the sink, one to the right. I have a narrow cabinet like that next to the fridge - perfect for holding cutting boards and cookie sheets.
Frankly, I prefer the offset because of the cabinetry complications below. But I just don't think it will look right with the window.
