True, the city’s appearance grows tattier as you head south past half-empty sanatoriums towards its beachside nightclubs. However, this East–West crossroads makes up for that with sheer panache. Local writer Issac Babel claimed Odesa had ‘more charm than any city in the Russian Empire’ and that’s probably still true in modern-day <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=360912">Ukraine</a>.

What we started out with was a standard depth base cabinet , three doors wide . A good starting point , but we found it a bit wee for this kitchen. We had a huge and very useful island in the old house and we need a good sized island for our busy lives. </div>                            <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhacZPAHciNFgNsoJ6FDPY9kOWcffNKnzKdAUSuCE6rqFr6frwefam6H6kezAoRUYiQmzZ7mxpIUb27p18Gt1_qNS9JJ4UNabVypjD8ItgIwrb7BUZGKo9dHTuOQN61hOjVqikIa1e8Npc/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhacZPAHciNFgNsoJ6FDPY9kOWcffNKnzKdAUSuCE6rqFr6frwefam6H6kezAoRUYiQmzZ7mxpIUb27p18Gt1_qNS9JJ4UNabVypjD8ItgIwrb7BUZGKo9dHTuOQN61hOjVqikIa1e8Npc/s400/004.JPG" width="400" /></a><br /> I started by building a simple cabinet to hold our microwave , we will have an outlet added to this cabinet for the microwave tomorrow.

However the island needed to be made wider as well as longer. The over all size will be 35"x65" and standard counter height. I decided to add legs to the back side of the island to create a small 5-6" over hang , not quite enough space for a tucked in stool but enough extra space for a good deep prep space. The legs will be right up against the island no space in between. A little bit of added detail.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDhHJJtXHGwt6exOtOVWdjrYee8XqCnhUQYQb6PCU_QatNc_p2AHHNit1Z9CCCPrzRPIM-XXS98e40ktZOtG2TBIqZD0D5u8DwP_mgYB88_M468-jqtrsx_By8muhGH2xCiScgedMSXNg/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDhHJJtXHGwt6exOtOVWdjrYee8XqCnhUQYQb6PCU_QatNc_p2AHHNit1Z9CCCPrzRPIM-XXS98e40ktZOtG2TBIqZD0D5u8DwP_mgYB88_M468-jqtrsx_By8muhGH2xCiScgedMSXNg/s400/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I was some how able to squeeze in cladding the island with beadboard and priming and painting the island.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivr-3WzYsfHwC1m2jfOoaatdVD8qLFwnXFsQH3IiyJxV4O8AsoAnEdbY17rv-SbJ1lqJnjZBbAXv7TfPFokBTaM5LR4YTd5j2BULzGfRcDYB-6AmC8P8s9xFb_s81VV9JVwZQAU9y9onU/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivr-3WzYsfHwC1m2jfOoaatdVD8qLFwnXFsQH3IiyJxV4O8AsoAnEdbY17rv-SbJ1lqJnjZBbAXv7TfPFokBTaM5LR4YTd5j2BULzGfRcDYB-6AmC8P8s9xFb_s81VV9JVwZQAU9y9onU/s400/009.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We've come a long way.

You’ll see street signs in Norwegian and Cyrillic script and hear Russian spoken by trans-border visitors and fishermen, who enjoy better prices for their catch here than in their home ports further to the east. The town reels with over 100, 000 visitors per annum, most stepping off the Hurtigruten to spend a couple of hours in the town before travelling onward. But you should linger a while here, not primarily for the town’s sake but to take one of the many excursions and activities offered by the useful one-stop tourist office.<a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/norway/finnmark/kirkenes#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText">Show in Lonely Planet</span></a><br /><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAtipWSOW95Go0hEp_Zs_jI3V5JuIuND9pU0bHZdwvvByaHMBOSDV7MMMsIJUseEvqnBLKnGpFJztAlhKXlpwG23IaNDLYbAL2XPRWNFRrMdjgaq4s6bfNL7CzxV1SONMA0S_v3l9EZU/s1600/Kirkenes+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAtipWSOW95Go0hEp_Zs_jI3V5JuIuND9pU0bHZdwvvByaHMBOSDV7MMMsIJUseEvqnBLKnGpFJztAlhKXlpwG23IaNDLYbAL2XPRWNFRrMdjgaq4s6bfNL7CzxV1SONMA0S_v3l9EZU/s400/Kirkenes+9.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><h3 class="themeHeading"> More about Kirkenes </h3><ul><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/norway/finnmark/kirkenes/transport/getting-there-away">Getting there & around </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/norway/finnmark/kirkenes/practical-information/health">Practical information </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/norway/finnmark/kirkenes/history">History </a> </li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/">Hotels</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/norway/finnmark/kirkenes/forum">Forum</a></li></ul><h3 class="themeHeading"> Make it happen</h3><ul><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/shopSearch?q=kirkenes%5E2+or+Norway">Shop for travel guides</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/">Search hotels</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bookings/flights.do">Cheap flights</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bookings/insurance.do">Travel insurance</a></li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFoZWTJmXkaqQNs_YTdUzwTM1EeRlIPYU9NDO4fcXRGciispGI-MbQ6_Z7gDANZLnksBgHaMFPngqXB3xtbCKsu-K14wpkQPomeIqhz_fIZc_m6PjUXd1ONLb1aGECrQbotPGRhDx1PE/s1600/Kirkenes+36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFoZWTJmXkaqQNs_YTdUzwTM1EeRlIPYU9NDO4fcXRGciispGI-MbQ6_Z7gDANZLnksBgHaMFPngqXB3xtbCKsu-K14wpkQPomeIqhz_fIZc_m6PjUXd1ONLb1aGECrQbotPGRhDx1PE/s640/Kirkenes+36.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHum9Yhh2LbjBJq9IWi74BREDXca0mYquMrgajSttYFERAlRsHhLyWtEcBYt-Lkior23a1cDG_10wAd8KpnyGc3k-PGItRkWXFQqWeEGwnNgsMMl33y-iDE16zsN5Vt2I5UcghJRd81h4/s1600/Kirkenes+20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHum9Yhh2LbjBJq9IWi74BREDXca0mYquMrgajSttYFERAlRsHhLyWtEcBYt-Lkior23a1cDG_10wAd8KpnyGc3k-PGItRkWXFQqWeEGwnNgsMMl33y-iDE16zsN5Vt2I5UcghJRd81h4/s640/Kirkenes+20.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhN1wqaV9hTblfyFj3QVnBgUgQhpUTCCKLbuYjyFzvWRLMqjvUosBnltvXBsWILE-JSw_ODFq3kqmbRIvyduQfQz_fuTALo0gdOww2SNocdzlNb_5p47MqEcp64rN7oZF5MgrBslSTr8/s1600/Kirkenes+10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhN1wqaV9hTblfyFj3QVnBgUgQhpUTCCKLbuYjyFzvWRLMqjvUosBnltvXBsWILE-JSw_ODFq3kqmbRIvyduQfQz_fuTALo0gdOww2SNocdzlNb_5p47MqEcp64rN7oZF5MgrBslSTr8/s640/Kirkenes+10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div>
