We got the Pot Rack that we really wanted (if that’s not a sign that I’m officially old, I don’t know what is.) Anyway the best spot for it was over the island in the kitchen but unfortunately there was a big fluorescent light occupying that exact spot.

Since I knew there was going to be some creative carpentry involved, I broke out the old sketch pad and iterated a few different mounting ideas. Thanks MassArt! The final design included a stepped profile and some cool downlights to highlight our pots and pans.
