This and That......
Thanks everyone for all the good wishes and kind comments.
These are some of the cabinets in the laundry room Chris mentioned. To the far right is...
...an actual broom closet for tall items, like brooms for instance.
On the left side of the room are more cabinets and eventfully a deep sink. All the cabinets are hickory just like the ones in the kitchen. I wanted Chris to have plenty of storage.
.......... You have a small chore to do inside the corner cabinet. Do you see what I see?
Are you putting up a central fixture over the island? ...........

I got a good laugh out of that Dennis. As I took that picture I debated whether to wait until I cut that shim before I took the picture but decided to go ahead and take the picture since I had the camera out.
Moments after the picture was taken that shim was cut (seen above) which restored order in the universe.
That's the problem showing a work in progress. I'm truly having a ball sharing my efforts out there with you guys. You really are keeping me on my toes!!
Yes I'll be installing a single
LED light fixture of some sort over the island but haven't found a suitable one as yet. The quest continues.
Its super rare in life that "almost" everything appears to come out impeccable... Your a testament to simple solutions and incredible outcomes...
Happy New Year!!! Looking forward to the ongoing work from the both of you during our next celestial rotation.
Greeting again
Knyte Tyne. Good to see you've noticed I prefer simple solutions whenever possible and then try to execute them to a high standard. That seems to be working for me anyway. Cheers.
Thomas,
Please show us the hookup inside the cabinet. We will be working on our new kitchen in a few weeks and I would like to see how you did the wiring. I assume you did not hide the connection behind the cabinets.
Also what is the brand of lights?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi Rich, the under cabinet lights are manufactured by
Ambiance Lighting Systems:

They come in many different lengths and white or bronze housing colors. This was the label on one of the 24" fixtures.
The wiring was positioned so it would exit the wall right at the same level as the bottom of the cabinet and near the end of the fixture when it was installed.
With the fixture installed at the back of the cabinet, the wiring comes right into the fixture leaving nothing showing. It's a nice clean installation. That's the individual on/off switch on the bottom for the fixture should you choose to use it instead of a wall switch.
For the corner cabinet lighting, a box with an outlet was installed in the back corner of the cabinet which was wired to a wall switch. The rope
LED lighting was installed and plugged into that box. That made for a very simple and effective way to provide electrical connections.
The rope lighting comes in lengths that plug into each other. Clear clips were used to secure the rope to maximize the lighting output.
The plug end for about a foot didn't have lights on it, so that part was coiled up near the outlet so that the maximum amount of lighted rope was showing. I can't remember who made the rope
LED. I'll get that posted for you shortly.

I see that you have lots of stone and wood showing too. It really gives off such a warm feel to a room.
We scratch our heads often at this.
