Pop-up counter receptacle wiring
Comments (1)I assume you mean NEC not NEMA. Unless your local jurisdiction has additional requirements, armored cable is not required unless there is some possibility of physical damage....See MoreChanging counter tops in kitchen with white cabinets
Comments (37)I think the granite looks great: very classic and a big improvement over the tile! I'd definitely look into undercabinet lights. Before, the white counters reflected the ceiling light back up under the cabinets. The dark granite holds onto the light and makes the undercabinet areas a little cave-like. Lighting will make a big difference. I think the previous suggestions are excellent: painting the wall in the kitchen, along with finding some colorful accessories. I had a small galley kitchen similar to this one, and I was amazed at the difference a bright blue rag rug and a few blue dishtowels over the stove handle made....See MoreCounter tops-worth paying up for what you want instead of Settling?
Comments (23)You need a comprehensive design plan, and budget plan. A successful kitchen will live within those limits. It can't absorb 5 different budget busters, nor can it deal with 5 different ''must have because I'm in love'' elements. There are a lot of right choices for the different elements that neither bust the budget nor shout ''I'm the star''. Learn how to put together your kitchen with those, with your superstars then carefully selected to fit into those surroundings. That may or may not mean choosing a counter that you love, since you state that the range and venting were your ''must haves''. You can't have it all. Decide what are the musts, within the overall context. Not as each element as an individual. That is T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Remember that none of these pretty things will ever love you back. Some can perform better, and that is always worth considering as an ''upgrade'', but not if it blows the budget, or skews the other choices. For instance, a 14K refrigerator shouldn't even be on the table if that choice makes you consider skimping in another area, like not choosing a pro to correctly install your floors, or you decide to skip adding lighting. "Splurges'' should NEVER mean that another element gets shorted to below a reasonable standard....See MoreKitchen Pop Up Outlets - Dekton Counters
Comments (15)@smiles33 @UserIf your cabinetry has not yet been ordered, you can make allowances for below-counter outlets in the cabinets. You can also install angled power strips underneath wall cabinetry or even underneath base cabinet countertop overhangs. I recommend Hardware Resources' Task Lighting slim profile units for this. You can also install in-drawer electrical connections, but those can be risky because the movement of the drawer isn't the safest thing to be continually forced on wiring in the back. These sometimes will not meet the code requirements for outlets at certain intervals. Electrical is really something that is hard to retrofit after cabinets have been planned, so if you're already past that point, your options are limited. If you do choose a popup, Mockett has just recently released a beautiful version of the popup that Hubbell became so famous for, the short round style that is highly water resistant for kitchen applications, and I think Mockett currently has the best one one the market. It's not the original Mockett that's so tall, it is a new, much shorter one that is water resistant, the PSC103A/EE model, and there is also a version of this that is flush mount. Here's the link to the surface mount: https://www.mockett.com/power-communication-systems/pop-up-hideaway-collection/pcs103a-ee.html If all else fails, look into a slim line power strip that would fit between countertop and window sill. You can get them as small as about 1 5/8" in height....See MoreRelated Professionals

Picture of sink area per request is attached. I’ve been told code is that an outlet needs to be w/in 2 ft of both sides of the sink. I’m going to assume the code interpretation is accurate for the moment; my question was about experience with different brands of countertop pop up electrical receptacles. Thanks.

That picture is so confusing to me. Your sink is sitting out in the open between the island and the wall? Or has the island not been put in place yet?
Is there room on either end of the sink cabinet to do a filler piece with an outlet? Like this, in my island:
