Even if you're unable to vary the colours of your bricks, texturing is a technique I've rarely seen in the US but it's so very good looking even in one colour:

Do what you want with your house. It is a personal choice. If my posts aren't your cup of tea--ignore me.

Finally took some pictures. Here's what our kitchen looks like now, with a picture of the dining room (that does get regular use, thankyouverymuch)    We've got two different possible floor plans. In one, we take that lovely half wall and make it a full counter peninsula with stools looking into the kitchen, plus a 48" island in the middle. The other is to knock out that wall entirely and build a larger island that extends all the way to the edge of the dining room, with stools on the slider side. That second design has been fleshed out a lot more. The sink and dishwasher would be in the island, and the oven would move to the center of the long counter wall. Fridge stays where it is and the pantry stays as well. We use it 100%. We're also doing all new cabinets, counters, floor, and lighting. Color wish, we're looking at a medium cherry for the cabinets, a medium/dark green granite for the countertops, and not sure on floors other than tile. Also undecided on backsplash and paint colors. We do cook a lot, so I want it to be functional as well as nice looking. We plan to be here for another 30 years if not until we die or absolutely have to sell, so this is for us and not selling. Does all this sounds sane?

This topic reminded me of the ciassic Kitchen Counters You Could gently caress On tumblr. This is pretty much my ideal kitchen layout. Though I don't need an island quite this big.  And this I'm pretty sure was built by someone with an actual loving-on-counters fetish.

 Those cabinetmakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. The first one is just your standard "oh ha ha we entertain all the time! See our giant fancy kitchen for entertaining?" kitchen that looks big and fancy with the two sinks and everything but would still be kinda awkward to actually cook in. The second one... you could have an orgy up there. hailthefish fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Jul 13, 2017 |

When I'm back home I'm going to have to take pictures of my mom's kitchen. It's tiny but remodeled by my uncle specifically for "4'8" woman who bakes several hundred dozen cookies each year." Some parts of the house are just not my style at all, but I love what they've done with the kitchen. My kitchen makes me sad.

It seemed to be some advice aimed towards you, and a lot of advice aimed at general lurkers and posters. Your post here is a crazy, CRAZY defensive overreaction that actually shows YOU projecting, through accusation. Vehemently homophobic senator actually being gay, that kinda thing. This post makes you look crazy. Please think about that. Telling people to just "ignore you" in somebody else's thread is the wrong advice. Instead, change yourself or don't post here. This isn't yours.

Or a very small panic room. Or that whole end panel could fold down to reveal a secret staircase. Obv the secret staircase would lead to your sex dungeon, filled with even more and larger countertops.

Slip n slide down into the sex dungeon. The camera perspective makes it look like the countertop is as wide as the door frame (complete with...columns) is tall.

See, the first one keeps the work triangle close together and the areas for food storage/prep, cooking and cleanup flow smoothly. A lot of fancy rear end kitchens have the fixtures like 10 feet from each other.

Maybe it's just what I'm used to but I almost prefer a smaller more "cozy" kitchen with a nice tight work triangle. Space is so drat valuable I rather have a slightly bigger living room for fitting my guests. When kitchens get too big everyone just hangs out there. Actually who am I kidding no matter how small they are people end up there like loving Maru the cat jumping into a box no matter how small.

That may be but if you drape one over your tv, nobody will ever notice that the tv is even there.

This would be pretty amazing if they had cabinets on the other side as well, for storing all the stuff that isn't needed as often. But given that they've got a pseudo bar setup going there I'm guessing they didn't do that  I once rented a place with a big kitchen with roughly that square footage where the center was just a big void, it feels like this island is at least doing something with the space. I feel like the colors they chose are already out of style though. Youth Decay posted:And this I'm pretty sure was built by someone with an actual loving-on-counters fetish. Not even good for loving; the low-hanging lights would get in the way. Gonna guess that the floor pillars were meant to emulate the doorway pillars to the left, but I just see a great place for my toes to get stubbed. Also going by the fraction of the neighboring room that's also in the shot, this doesn't look like it really fits in with the rest of the house despite the aforementioned attempts at doing so. Maybe this room used to be something other than a kitchen?

I'm using my counterless kitchen wall of stuff to dam the flow of neurotic poo poo posts. That window is just 5cm too high for cheap standard wall cabinets and then my mother-in-law gave us the bigger dish cabinet so we had to put the fridge on the other side  I should have put in more outlets!!!

If it is the kitchen I am thinking about, the couple host cooking parties where they teach techniques and the like. You see the seating on the end--but the two long sides also have seating. With the overhang being wide enough so stools can be pushed completely underneath. The pillars at the end of the marble counter are for support. There should be two or three invisible mounts under the counter as well. Marble and granite are strong--but an supported two foot overhang would snap off eventually. Got to be able to stand on the counters--how else are you going to change the light bulb?
