Kitchen -- Pantry Table
We spent many hours arguing about what should be used to separate the cooking area and pantry: should it be a counter, bar top or table?
Doing an extension of the kitchen counter or adding a bar counter would be the easiest decision. However, both are not very useful. A counter (extension of the kitchen top), makes it hard to find a suitable chair, whereas bar top (bar counter) though looks nice, it is quite useless. Hehe, sorry people, there was a time where bar counter was so popular, we had done it, my brothers, in-laws... all did it. As soon as it was completed, nobody uses it: bar-top surface is too small and bar stools are uncomfortable.
European Design Ideas
Inspiration came from EuroCucina 2015 -- most of the designers went for a conventional table. This was what we had in mind:
Yep, a table would be 100% useful. Easy to find chairs too!
And so we did it:
Sure... the legs could be something sexier like these:
but I don't know where to find someone who would do power coated steel table legs. Anyway, we were just too happy that our carpenter agreed to do what we asked for:
On a typical day, it sits two: breakfast or a quick bowl of instant noodles during supper time.
Other days, if need be, all four of us can still fit in:
And if my wife so decides to finally take out her Kitchenaid after ten years in storage, she will have no more excuse that there's no space for weighing scale, measuring cups and a whole collection of baking pans of various sizes. Because the table can be morphed into an island...
