I want to create a breakfast counter in my kitchen wall. Please share your advice on how to go about it. The plain wall is 6' wide x 7'height. Above the 7' is a beam. Please share your advice on how much wall I would have to break. I have a skilled mason who is working on another part of my kitchen. Thanks..

If you will like to go little different than Indian / traditional one, mint green colour is in trend and goes well with brick colour walls. Looks good if you have white appliances, crockery and some other elements that are visible with it. (Sourced from google images) https://goo.gl/images/Wyu1kR

Granite is more suitable for Kitchen countertops .

normally the breakfast counter height varies from 36" to 42" if you want it to be perfect height select the stools for the counter first then check the height of the stool and add 12" to 15' in the height. distance between the stool seat and table top should be 12" to 15" max...
