Yes, JudyG that's exactly the way people were using the taller table. Sort of a café look, or casual bar setting. One home had a beautiful huge kitchen all done in white with dark wood floors and RH style fixtures and hardware. Where you would normally think would be a traditional dining room, they had made it up with a large high table and 6 barstools. It almost looked like an extension of the island. Another one was in a very open and light kitchen. It was smaller and where you might think of putting a breakfast nook they had a round café-style table with four barstools. I liked it because it gave a more casual appearance. If people were sitting at them, they were on the same level as those working in the kitchen. Almost like a bar at the island for that effect, but with some separation.

Cabinets by Design LLC if there is no room there, where would you consider placing the refrigerator? I would need some dry area (counter top) as well to keep my mixer/blender etc. also some space in the bottom for cabinets to keep all those big vessels for cooking. How to make use of the corner portion well? side - d? I have to think about the possibility Sativa Jaeger Designs LLC mentuioned , about moving the kitchen opening up further north. I also don't want want the kitchen door to be just opposite to toilet door . the kitchen door should start at the point where toilet door ends. I know this is a huge challenge, as it is really small and thats the only drawback of this house which we had to compromise considering all other aspects.

A McSo. Couldn't the base of 15cm overhang be supported end to end with steel. As a single steel structure mounted on the larger cabinet area visible here. It should be sufficient for supporting the extension. Corbels will provide additional support but IMHO may not be required. Have you thought about an semi circular or a D shape counter to avoid sharp edges. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
