The counters will have two overhang areas. To the right of the slide in range is a 27" base cabinet with drawers. The base and range are offset 3 inches from the back wall so the counter will be 28" deep. It will over hang the side of the 27" base by 12" for a total length of 39". We are planning to fasten 3 steel straps 3" wide x 36" long to the routed out sideds of the base cabinet. The cabinets are box construction frameless made with 3/4" plywood and dowel construction. Should I use 3/8" or 1/4" thick steel straps? Do you have any other ideas on how to support this without a corbel. Many thanks for all your helpful information. Tom

We're starting with the kitchen. It's a rather small kitchen. We have white cabinets and we're planning on purchasing white appliances as well. Can you recommend a few granite colors that will work well. We want something that will be somewhat neutral so that we can easily get a floor tile that will work nicely with the countertops. Thank you in advance for your help! Hi Tom, We are remodeling our Florida Condo. We’re starting with the kitchen. It’s a rather small kitchen.
