Kitchen Clarity Adventures in Kitchen and Bath Design

Attempting to finish my train of thought from yesterday – still on the subject of that skinny island. For my client, I’m recommending a narrow worktable in the center of the kitchen, since we don’t have space for a substantial island.

If you’ve followed this blog at all, you’ll know I have a soft spot for kitchen tables.  A bar-height kitchen table gives you that extra bit of counter for work or socializing , without taking up all the floor-space that a real sit-down table needs.  It’s also a lot less weighty, visually, than an island with storage. And you can tuck those stools pretty much out of the way underneath when you need to.  I think it’s a case of problem solved.
