Final Fixture and Shelf Installation

Kitchen Makeover + FINAL FINISHES (EP.5)
What happens here
Install the pot filler by screwing it into the pre-existing plumbing outlet above the stove. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection. Next, install the custom-cut quartz shelves into the designated spaces by securing them with a strong adhesive, such as E6000 glue, on the contact points. Optionally, use a single shelf pin (or small bracket) for added support underneath if the design allows and if the adhesive requires it. Finally, connect the new sconce light fixtures to the electrical wiring, securing them to the electrical boxes previously installed. Similarly, connect the new pendant light fixtures to their respective electrical outlets in the ceiling, ensuring they hang level and are securely fastened. Carefully install the large, white spherical shades onto the pendant lights.
Goal: Install all remaining kitchen fixtures and shelves.
