We put countertop p to it and around and extended it a bit beyond it into the dining area so there is an overhang and gives me a nice wide 'island'. Good luck. It is always a crap shoot when you start these older places. lol. Thank God you have Terry and His Tools. I think you should start a new blog called Terry and His Tools...or Terry The Toolman. Just think of the women followers you would get there! xo Diana NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-50969671962531017552021-08-26T08:20:42.947-05:002021-08-26T08:20:42.947-05:00Kris,

If he trimmed out the column with a square trimmed wood over the round one, you could put a pot rack in that section. Maybe you're not a pot rack person, but I truly love them with a vintage look like you have. Just that little bit of extra light you got from the portion of the wall removed makes all the difference!At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-35519400329942100012021-08-13T18:41:14.501-05:002021-08-13T18:41:14.501-05:00I like the new open space.
