I put a breakfast bar in our kitchen reno. Damned annoyance that there's a nog in the wall in exactly the wrong place - so the sockets are sitting way too high on the wall above the nog - and are annoying me because they don't look right. I couldn't easily put the flush boxes under the nog, as the face plates would be a few mm below bench height. They can sit where they are for the time being, stage two of the project I'm about to start is to re-line and re-shelve the walk-in pantry. I'm going to put the ugly 230v gadgets. microwave, blender thing, toaster etc in there - out of sight, and I'll probably find that I don't need many or any power outlets on the breakfast bar above bench level, so will remove them or shift them under the bench - or perhaps get one of those popups. Will need to patch and paint the holes where the sockets were - it's all time.
It's a curse with renos IMO - making compromises to get the right combination of form and function. Seems to result in having to do some jobs twice before I'm happy.
