What do you think about a work table without a place for the stools to slide under when not in use? In other words, they will always be sticking out. It looks fine in this picture, but what is the general consensus. Does it look strange- like they don't belong there? Thanks! Mary Ann »
Brandy Allen Since they are eclectic 'old' wooden chairs that actually add to the characteristic of the room - they look fabulous! If you want a 'spot' for them try getting another rug for under the work table and the chairs it will look like they belong. But I love.
Wall size... - Can you please tell me the length of the wall where the hood is on..up until till your last unit before the door starts? I have a similar space and wondering if my kitchen would look like yours... »
Freestanding stainless steel work tables are great solutions to get a table and island in one. Because there's no storage underneath, your knees have a place to go when you pull up a stool. This work table could fit four more stools if needed, and certainly made the idea of a kitchen table unnecessary in this kitchen.
Technically, this is a kitchen peninsula because it's connected, but this piece could be used as an island and float wherever you want it. The metal finish adds commercial-kitchen style to this summer home.
Kitchen expert Rebekah Zaveloff says "I love open kitchen islands for smaller spaces because you don’t need an extra overhang like you do when there’s closed storage...I love the easy access to everyday salad bowls, pots and pans."
Furniture placement also can make all the difference in the way a room feels. In this kitchen, most of the cabinets and appliances are stationary and cannot be easily moved. However, to create a nest-like environment, a simple metal table is added to one side. The table offers additional counter and prep space, but also encloses the kitchen somewhat to create a nest-like space. The ceiling beam in this kitchen also helps delineate the kitchen from the rest of the house. This is a great way to have an open living area without sacrificing nesting spaces.
