lining up butcherblock counter section with base cabs?

16 years ago

I'm wondering if a section of butcherblock countertop in between soapstone countertops would look odd if it doesn't line up with the base cabinets beneath it?

The counter run is an L shape, bounded by the refrigerator at one end, followed by prep sink in a 24" base, a 24" trash cabinet and a 48" blind base corner. On the perpendicular wall there is a 9" pullout, a 36" range and another 9" pullout.

I would LIKE a butcherblock stretch that at least 30" and had planned to have it half over the trash cabinet and half over the 24" face of the blind base cabinet. That would leave room on the right to have at least short (10"-12") runnels cut in to the soapstone next to the prep sink.

But I wonder if that's going to just look weird and if I should be satisfied with a 24" butcherblock lining up with the 24" face of the blind base cabinet. In addition to that being a smaller chopping/prep surface than I'd like than I'd like, I worry that this will have me working right in the corner of the countertop. (There is by the way another L shaped counter opposite, with an 8-foot counter run and a 6 foot peninsula of unbroken counterspace for baking and "big" prep jobs).

Now that I'm finally seeing some progress on this remodel, I worry that I'm so tired of decisionmaking that I am not taking enough care to think things through and just want it over already!
