Kitchen Remodel

[HairOfTheDog]

If there's room to have cabinets under it, that would look better than the dumb post/leg idea.

I think you might be frustrated with a boxed seating area in the kitchen though.

I can see people sitting around your counter-like table while you're slaving away over a hot stove and chugging down the bottled water (Vodka). Then, you realize you left the key ingredient in the fridge. You'd have to make somebody get up out his chair just to open the door and grab the chilled Spam. I could see you saying, "fuck it, I'm palling Cizza Hut!".

I think I'd only go for a table right in the middle of the kitchen if I hadn't a dining room area.
