We are renovating our kitchen and removed a wall between our kitchen and dining. We have plans for a peninsula/ breakfast bar but the placement of the cabinets to allow this is about 4 inches short of the original oak hardwood. We are trying to get some ideas for filling the transition. We have thought about a) just having 4 inch of tile exposed on the dining side of the peninsula (under the counter where the chairs are) b) make the transition with a wood strip. The wood insert contractor suggested to just do tile as either method will result in an obvious attempt to fill the gap - he indicates wood colours would differ. Photo 1& 2 are where the peninsula will be (using wood samples to to reflect where the cabinets will be) photo 3& 4 are reflective of the walk way between the 2 spaces...wood samples with red tape show the corner of the cabinets. Photo 4 shows the wall divide that the tile will line up with - as reflected in photo. Any thoughts or photos of solutions to similar dilemmas? Thank you houzz's!!!!
