I would like to start showcasing and discussing some of the cool features in our home. This segment is to be called Friday Features. I am hoping that I will be able to find some history of the item or some information about the company or builder related to the item.
First up, the built-in mixer cabinet. When we toured the house, we were intrigued by the cantilevered mixer shelf that moved from storing the mixer below the cabinet to swinging the mixer up to counter height, ready for use.
Having lived in the age of pre-fab cabinets, we thought it was a nifty feature and were impressed by the hardware- large springs and latching system. These cabinets are Mutschler custom cabinets, a company still in business and deserving of at least one future post.
Below, the shelf was a pull out drawer for accessories.
When we unpacked the kitchen, we were disappointed to discover that our modern Kitchen Aid mixer was too tall to fit on the shelf. We were able to lower the shelf an inch by removing and reinstalling 14 screws.
Violà, a mixer cabinet that leaves you dying to make chocolate chip cookies (don’t mind that we have to ground and install a GFCI outlet to plug in the mixer).
