You should be able to get everything that you want ........ Are you going to have a cabinet maker build it for you ? I suggest that you work with them and have them draw it up for you........Most cabinet makers are very good at working with their clients to get them what they want.

I know we are all obsessed with the "open floor plan" concept, but sometimes we do want an area that is quieter, or more formal, or whatever. Planning a kitchen layout takes a lot of thought! Here is a great article that might help: Back to the Work Triangle?

Hello Amruti, Posting images of a project done by me which has a breakfast counter & opens onto the dining, its to give you an idea on a concept of open kitchen. The design style can be changed to ur aesthetic sense.. Thank you.

Hello there, Since you have put an all white kitchen with recessed lighting, you won't be needing much lumens for the island. As for the length, two small pendants with 12/15W lamps spaced 2-3' apart would be enough to illuminate the space. It's always better than one large pendant because it disperses light over a larger area and aesthetically pleasing as well. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces India
