Now, I can't be blamed if little fairies sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night and somehow fuse together all the wiring in the thing. Anyone know some sneaky little fairies?

Thank goodness the roosters are gone, though. Good job, VH! What kimsch said helped me formulate my thoughts: the black stove somehow… looms dark in such a light, airy kitchen.

I'll post new pics once the cupboards are done. Right now they're all torn apart so we can repaint the doors and the kitchen smells like paint thinner. Phew! I really love it, too.

I'm due to run to Home Depot (and maybe Lowe's) tomorrow to buy new hardware for the cupboards and drawers. I'll see if they've got what you're talking about in stock. Thanks for the tip!

There is everything from a frosted type glass to stained glass patterns that can be applied to the glass. My niece in Florida has reflective window coatings that you can see out clearly, but is mirrored from the outside. All can just be wiped down to clean. I have seen some of this stuff at the home centers around here. It sounds like you might want to see what it costs to have someone else apply it though ... I'm a procrastinator too.
