Thanks Duchess and Sally. I really appreciate your thoughts. I could absolutely live with a column that looked like one of those. The last one looks exactly like what my beams and posts could look like. Right now it's intended to be a (fugly) bar but it's so far away from me/cooking that no one ever used the bar stools that we had there (they were on the family room side--facing in to the kitchen). Guests would have had to shout across the kitchen table and in to the cooking area so conversation from there was impossible. Dumb mistake.
I think the bottom line is, I can have a bar and stool eating area OR I can have a table area but I don't *think* I can have both. Maybe if we ditch the plans for a computer work space we can work something out behind/to the right of the bar stools in the drawing below. Hmmmmm....worth looking at. We have a guest room for an office PLUS we still have our mostly unused dining room--I could create some type of work space in there. We don't need a lot--my husband keeps most of his shit at his regular office. This is getting better!! Thanks again!
