Current kitchen design (lower cabinets only) for the Merrimack kitchen, with a cut-down dishwasher and raised countertops.  Thanks to Samantha, Emily and Ashley for suggestions on fixing the kitchen.  I ended up doing a little of both—I cut down the dishwasher and I raised the counter height.  I thought a full drawer’s depth made the counters a little too high.  I also realized that the dishwasher was taller than the stove.  I cut down the dishwasher just to the groove under the name.  This gave me a clear place to cut and does not interfere at all with the opening mechanism.  Unfortunately, I nicked the left corner slightly when cutting; hence the “gasket” around the bottom.  I then raised the counters just a bit.  I noticed in the pictures Ashley posted that some of the lower cabinets had a span of additional plain wood between the doors/drawers and counter, so I decided that look would be fine. I now have an under-counter dishwasher, and my counters are roughly the height of my stove, which I decided to keep.  Nothing is glued down yet (obviously), while I continue to assess my color scheme.  The current countertops will almost certainly go, as they are too sparkly.  The cabinet on the left, with the half-round shelves, was made especially for me by Shellie of Mini-Etchers.  She is wonderful about doing custom jobs!

The appliances turned out great! It's looking really good.

Thank you both!  One of the things I like about this forum is the excellent suggestions for making things better.  I could have lived with it the way it was originally, but I'm glad I didn't.

Great work on the cabinets, love the countertops and the floor pattern, you have great eye for color cordination :) Are you going to add wall cabinets as well?

Thank you!  Yes, I have a whole set of regular and short uppers to use.  I'll be building a soffit, too.
