what is the space above the range here? i'm looking to do something similar with a stone surround above a 48 inch range with a mosaic. I have 8 foot ceilings. »
This kitchen island is great for multiple reasons. First off, it's small in size so it's possible to create something like this even in kitchens that don't seem to have a lot of extra space. Second, it's got a really unique style with cool bar stools that speak to its design. And third, it compliments the surrounding decor of the kitchen so that it doesn't stand out as the center of the room itself but rather blends in really nicely with the overall look of the room.
Though I don't want a showy eat-in kitchen, this has so many beautiful features, from the repeated archways to the light coming through the beams over the sink, that I had to capture it.
