Bar top makeover

A return client felt that this busy granite top
needed to be replaced with something a little more subtle.

We wanted to enhance the granite by contrasting it with something that felt warm and inviting.

It would also need to be sturdier, since a chunk of the granite top had actually been broken off at a family gathering. The existing supports just weren't sufficient for the material they were supporting.

We all agreed that a wood top would accentuate the existing granite kitchen countertops.



Here, the top is installed with
appropriately sized supports.

Guests like to lean on a tall bar top during lively get-togethers.

A planked wood bar top would need just as much support as a granite top. But painted to match the cabinets, they blend right in.

Bar stools can fit between the supports to provide extra seating.
