I was going to say calamondin also; good choice for a dedicated indoor citrus. As for sour, the calamondin, is the primary "lemon" in the Philippines; they call it calamansi and they use it green; it is not a bad "lemon", but has a mountain of seeds along with a fair amount of juice for such a small fruit. The tree is pretty, can be pruned to almost any size/shape. I have two at my lemon farm; but they are just decorative garden trees.

duchamp, I checked my clippings, I didn't save it and the post is so old it's dropped off the bathroom forum. Are you looking for how to build a niche (my husband just built it to my specification for overall height and height from the floor between the studs in the wall) or just the inspiration photo? It wasn't a "how to," just a photo which I ultimately adapted because I couldn't get it to work for me as it was. That was a bit stressful initially because I wanted it to be just that way, but I realized I could make it my way. I had the general concept but I couldn't recall how the glass shelf was supported so that it wasn't obvious, that's why I wanted the picture; I wanted to do it "right." The inspiration photo's magazine rack was hmmm....made with painted strips of wood, more country I think and I knew that wasn't going to get made and found the Pottery Barn rack for a great price on eBay. It was just easier to pop the purchased rack in and I like the final result better. I purchased a tempered glass shelf cut to my dimensions online, I'm not sure if the inspiration photo used tempered glass but I thought it would be safer even though I don't have kids running around. When it first was installed all I could notice was how the greenish tint to the glass edge clashed with the green paint on the wall, I don't notice it anymore. We ended up supporting the shelf (because I never could figure it out from the picture) with small, square dowels painted to blend. Again, I had had a different thing in mind with hardware but I guess I was dreaming that that existed so we needed to adapt. It's funny how the project caused so much fuss at the time because I wanted perfect and with all the adaptations I thought I was going away from perfect but of course in the end, it's perfect!

It depends on whether you are using the same light maple color (butcher block?) anywhere else in your kitchen as an accent color, making the color difference look intentional. If that's the only place it shows up, it might look better being the same color as the outsides (unless there is so much gray that you want to break it up.) If you look through the finished kitchen blog, you can see what most have done with glass cabinets. I think carrying the outside color into a glass cabinet is pretty standard. I'm using a new computer and don't have the link to the FKB stored, otherwise I'd give it to you. I also think it depends on how many seedy glass cabinets you have--if all/most of your uppers are the seedy glass, then the color difference might look nice, like the kitchens with different color uppers and lowers.

Yes, DH and I am making our cabinets. It has ended up being way more work than I expected (but doesn't every project end up like that?). I'm considering putting glass doors for my dish cabinet - but I found a look where they used fancier routered edges on the shelves so when the doors are closed it sort of looks like mullions, but is not. The top section does have mullions, our ceilings are not tall enough to get that look. This was my inspirational picture - but unfortunately what I'm ended up with has strayed quite a bit from this.
