Can you say more about the LED strips? Hard to tell what they're showing in the product listing. Looks intriguing.

 

I think I can - under the stainless shelves (bought at a kitchen supply store on Bowery), they're hot-glued to the front-edge, facing the white subway tiles, so the light reflects off of the tiles, lighting up the counter top nicely.

I imagine at some point they'll need another shot of glue...these have been in place for 5 years. The power feed on this side runs through the walls to the transformer located in the cabinet above the fridge.  On the opposite side, aka the floating shelf side, it looks like this...

And here the power runs through that wall, to the transformer located on the top shelf of a high cabinet.  Since all the walls were down and being rebuilt or cabinets being installed, this made a lot of sense.  Here's the invoice for everything involved with this part of the lighting task (well, everything except the labor!)...
