Where did u hide the outlets?

12 years ago

I'm doing the same window to countertop and having the dilemma about the outlets. I don't really want to put a backsplash just for the outlets!

Susan, I can't figure out how to send you a private message on this website. I just wanted to mention I live nearby on Colwood and am so pleased to see Hollingsworth's work lovingly restored/updated rather than torn down for yet another cookie cutter 5000 sqr ft McMansion. Well done! (and well done Synthesis!)

There's an above counter outlet on the wall just to the left of the photo. There is another outlet below counter height at the far end of the counter. We also looked at putting an outlet as a pop up in the counter or hidden in a drawer but decided against it and don't miss it (so far). Good luck with your renovation!

Thanks. I think it's a cool house with a really functional plan and I can't imagine tearing it down. It seems to have the combination of smallish house on large lot that makes it a tear down target. I'm in the middle of updating some of the landscaping now and looking forward to enjoying the patio in the summer!
