olldbobbi Add some cabnets under the large window and perhaps more pantries next to the fridge. If possible, move the sink under the wide window and install your dishwasher next to the sink. If you can afford matching appliances, the kitchen would look much better. The extra little space next to the glass uppers, you could hang your cutting boards there using 3M Command hooks, no drilling required.

I would suggest losing the vertical blinds and replacing them with country curtains. www.countrycurtains.com

Modern Age Designs, LLC townlaw that does look good. You could keep that deviding wall as the breakfast bar.

olldbobbi I like it! Better without the dividing wall. Good job!

ganley I recently saw a "country" style tv/entertainment cabinet converted to an island kitchen bench. All they did was by an appropriately oversized bench top from their local hardware, have a builder construct an elevated platform and fix to the cabinet. The overhang allowed for space for Barr chairs/ stools to have brekky from. Very economical
