meigs2 I'm happy to see you like our kitchen! We used a back splash purchased from eBay! Shipped from Canada to Miami at a very reasonable price. We used MARBLE POLISHED CARRERA FLORIDA FLOWER MOSAIC TILE. My husband installed it (photo) & we used a white grout. No polish, just sealed.
Support for countertop - I am doing an island just like this. Your design look great! Did you do anything to the legs to ensure they would not get knocked out from under and then send everything coming down. I have 2 small children and don't want the granite someday falling on them. Thank you. »
Island Apron - Hi we just did an island like this. Our knees are very tight between the seat of the chair and the bottom of apron. How many inches is your apron? Thank you. »
something like this? could the "table" part of the island be at normal table height? or would that look weird? so that it could have regular chairs instead of a high chair or stool?
