ah ... a cooking person's dream - a kitchen island with a breakfast bar! here's one from brian of
caramelcook, made from the
varde oven unit and countertops.
brian writes, "i wanted a bar overhang, so i bought two of the 69" lengths of the counter, cut them down a bit, joined them, and voila, a bar overhang on the back (with
franklin chairs, the taller of the two models, which fit perfectly.)

also, i deliberately chose the oven unit so that i could put sliding trash and recycling bins in that space (plus it has the steel shelving which looks cooler than the particle board the other varde units have.)
