Reico Kitchen & Bath Keep in mind that you want a minimum of 24" space per seat. Based on 78" you are at a slightly more comfortable 26", not including the thickness of the post. Depending on that thickness, it will be a close call. You will lose some space and will likely be under 24" of space per seat. Assuming it will be open behind the legs, there will be some leg room around each post. Consider who will be sitting in those seats most of the time and if all 3 will be filled at the same time often. That my help you decide right there.

chenxiwang112 Thanks for the quick response! I appreciate it. I guess this is a function vs. form decision, but the aspects for consideration you shared are insightful. Thanks.

grammielinda Why not an air switch on the counter top?

lindadunn2545 I accidentally got the wrong thing and it was a round push button switch that goes at the back of the sink into the countertop next to the faucet. Cool idea!

pbx2 I echo that sentiment & more - your kitchens are repeatedly inspiring!
& so are your wonderful inputs on houzz..

grammielinda Is this the 10" hood that comes with its own power source or the 24"deep with separate power?

Mona Ives Not my pic so I can't tell you how big the island is... but your typical countertop overhang with no brackets or supports is 12-13" with a granite/quartz countertop. Also, because this has 4 seats, Id say it's at least 7' wide, but I'm guessing.

catmez You mean 7 ft long

Rebekah Zaveloff It's 36" though it does look narrower due to the angle of the photo.

motherbear If u click "more info" u will see that it is tagged.

Rebekah Zaveloff It's about 9' or so - and thanks, it's one of my favorite kitchen layouts with the sink off center.

Anne DeCocco Pendants are usually centered on an island, but they don't have to be. There's often some wiggle room in the rule book. Designers use their trained eyes to know where a light should be placed, but when in doubt, center it!

Bud Dietrich, AIA I agree with decocco and would add that you can also take cues from other elements in the space (cabinetry, windows, ceiling design, etc.)

Rebekah Zaveloff It does come from one light box...unfortunately it's discontinued. It was from Pottery Barn. It had pot rack hooks that we decided not to use.

Rebekah Zaveloff It's from Pottery Barn but is discontinued, sorry.
