Designing Solutions Thanks for the nice comments. It's a pretty huge house- I would guess 4000-5000 sq ft.

Island dimensions? - what are the dimensions of this island? ht both levels, width, length. this is exactly what i had in mind for my kitchen. Thanks »

Designing Solutions I don't have the exact dimensions, but it is approximately 100 inches long x 50 inches deep. The eating bar is standard bar height. The work space is standard counter height. no doubt if you show this picture to your contractor or kitchen designer they could replicate based on the size of your range top and the smaller accessory sink just to the right of the cook!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Alternate a solid and a stripe on a two-tile wide runner. Carpet tiles are a great choice for spaces that call for an unusual size not available off the rack.
added by Cathy Lara to House Rule: Off With Your Shoes
Children are a great reason to require shoe removal indoors. According to a report by researchers at the University of Arizona, pedestrian shoes carry at least 66 million organisms, a good chunk of them bacterial. The study also found that not only do bacteria live longer on shoes than in other places, but bacteria on shoes transfers easily to tile floors.
