Well I'm about to embark on the latest mod for our Axis. Showing up today and tomorrow are the following two items:
New Sink (Amazon)
New cooktop (Amazon)
(Have to pick a new faucet for the new sink)
The plan is to replace the counter top with new one--still researching the countertop (I may end up having the same local cabinet maker that made my bathroom panel make the counter top--that way I can have them cut the holes for the cooktop and sink).
So here is the before picture (yeah it still looks like this for now LOL):
The two wrinkles in the plan:
- There will be a gap above the drawer where the old stove was. Not sure if I'll put a vent cover there or just trim it up with wood (the cabinet maker already knows the stain! LOL)
- The new sink is 10" deep, old one is 6"--those 4" may cause me to lose the top drawer under the sink
I'll know more once the parts arrive. (We still have one more trip planned for the year so "demo day" won't be for another few weeks.)
The idea here is that both the sink & cooktop are essentially flat so we'll gain a bunch of counter space when both aren't being used as a sink and a stove.
