We wanted a countertop from IKEA. Maple, light glaze, big enough to cut to size. But IKEA is a fickle mistress. Between the time we picked out a color and the time we wanted it (about 3 weeks), the item disappeared from the warehouse. Boo.
So Chris had to build a countertop for us. That pushed back the timing by a day or two, but the results are pretty wonderful. He glued strips of maple together, then cut to size (note the angle - that's to accommodate the fridge doors), then sanded and finished in place.
All I have to say about that is: sawdust. OMG. Sweeping, mopping, never getting it from the crevices. Gah.
But when the cooktop went in I started to think, "This could be ok."
