one, I'm almost sold on. The taper starts below the slat shelf, a shelf that seems like a good place to store a bag of potatoes or onions, or to simply display a nice bowl. The 19" clearance under it to the floor is plenty for my cats (and their food storage bin) and for a medium-sized dog, but I'm not sure about, say, a Labrador retriever. (Again, I may be overthinking it.)https://rudemechanicalspress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/cabinet.jpgcabinetFunctional (and matches the rest of the cabinets, of course), but there really is ample cabinet space already – about 40 percent more than what I tore out. Also, I just don't like it,https://rudemechanicalspress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sinkend.jpgsinkendThe trim on the door at the other end of that counter run does the same.https://rudemechanicalspress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/taperedlegs.jpgtaperedlegsThe tapered legs here (I'd probably taper them on two sides rather than on only the one side drawn) lighten things up a bit and make it look more design-y (technical term). But it feels like a wasted opportunity to introduce another storage option to the space as whole. And only an Irish wolfhound needs that height to fit under. (Ans since an Irish wolfhound would not fit in this house at all...)https://rudemechanicalspress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/straightlegs.jpgstraightlegsToo blocky and too basic. The straight legs look too heavy, though the straight lines would match the square cabinets).
