Island in kitchen

18 years ago

I am planning to take out a wall between my kitchen and family room. I am hoping to put the tv in the island, maybe a two level style with the tv on the tall side in the family room and a counter on the kitchen side with room for maybe 2 bar stools. Maybe even use a lift for the tv to hide it while not in use. Maybe a swivel so I can watch it while cooking. Has anyone ever done this? Pics would be great. Thanks.

I'm not sure I will be much help, but are you saying that you want the 2 bar stools on the kitchen side? I have not seen them on the lower "counter" side of a bi-level island, only on the "taller" side - especially when the taller side is facing the family room. Boy, hope I am making sense. Maybe you mean there will be seating at the island on the short side of it? But then how would that work if it's bi-level? It's late, I'm maybe confused for that reason, but I'd like to help, just need a little clarification!)
