Mini-makeover: Kitchen Bar

When we first looked at the house a few years ago, the previous owners had two barstools sitting next to the ledge.  That's all it was, a ledge.  Not a bar where barstools were appropriate, but a little teeny ledge.  I've always wanted to exend the ledge to be an actual bar - where we can eat there, we can keep each other company while cooking, extra seating, and more counterspace!  I've had a hard time finding the right match to our existing countertops, until recently, I found exactly what we need.  What's even better, it's a relatively inexpensive project that will make such a huge impact.  We only spent $400 :)

This morning, the long-awaited installation happened - check it out!  [after pic courtesy of Daniel, I can't wait to see it in person]

I can't wait to start using it to it's max - eating meals there, serving meals off of there, etc, etc.

BEFORE - note how skinny the "ledge" is!

AFTER - check out all that space!  You can see a large dinner plate and glass fit on there perfectly
