    What program did you use for the floorplan? I agree with the rest some treatment would be good before it's stained up pitted ect. Making more work down the road.

    Metal vs Wood Cabinets & Benches

    I've got a mix of wooden and metal, I'd prefer more steel cabinets. I like that I can wipe them clean easier and stick magnets to them.
