Above the sink in our kitchen is a detail that I don’t care for in the least. It’s a wavy strip of wood that connects cabinets together or ties them together. Anyway, it runs  between two cabinets, and I’m not a big fan of wavy. It looks dated to me. And when I say dated, I mean not in a good way.

Was I under a rock?

Not only were they scratched, but downright impossible to keep clean. It was time for a stair runner install. I priced out carpets and installations, but I figured since it’s not wall to wall carpet, and a small square footage, then we would go ahead and tackle this project ourselves.
