In studying this photo I realized there is a bench wrapping around two sides of the table, with one side of the bench an extension of the peninsula. Am I right? The bench is painted a pale gray blue and appears to be full of storage options. What a great solution to getting the most out of a fairly compact space.

Here's another view of the previous kitchen. Now you can see the location of the refrigerator: This is where it most often resides in a U-shaped kitchen. Too many times people are tempted to put in both a kitchen table and counter stools at the peninsula. What you end up with is cramped space with too many chairs bumping into each other. If you don't have the room, resist the temptation to do this, it will drive you mad!
