What is on the other side of the peninsula? I am wanting to knock down the wall between kitchen and dining and leave a half wall with coutertop like this. Do you need cabinets on the kitchen side or can you leave it open as a table and have more seating on both sides. Thanks

the other side is the same,the beadboard wall.....the overhang of the butcher block is mainly on the dining room side...the other side it only hangs over slightly.....if your walls are thick enough, then it would be great to add some cabinets below....

They are called saddle bar stools and are readily available. Here is a link to Bed Bath and Beyond which is just one place they are carried. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?sku=15848871&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping Hope this helps!

loved those doors too!!....they were actually just builder grade small panel doors, then i had our carpenters cut out the panels and we had glass inserts custom made by a local mirror/glass company.

truly depends on the ceiling dimensions, the task that needs to be lighted, etc....I usually can "eye" the needs when doing remodeling just by looking at a room.....but if i'm consulting with a new home build, then I have a licensed lighting designer consult with me and the client on the sufficient needs for a room. If you go to any lighting store, they can direct you on all your questions...as long as you take your blueprints or a rough drawing of the layout/measurements of the room.

Ikea's butcher block counter....Waterlox was used as the sealer to give it the sheen and protection.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Becky Harris added this to Houzz Tour: Warm Country Charm
The kitchen's beadboard ceiling is original to the house; but this opening was not. "This was an old-fashioned closed off kitchen," Van Wicklen says. In order to let in the light, make the space feel better, and improve the flow, they opened up the space to the dining room.
"There's no rhyme or reason to how I display my china," she says. "I like to keep it casual. For instance, I group silverware into mint julep cups so that I can just grab what I need. Also, I added a shiny teapot lamp to draw the eye and illuminate the inside."
