Planning

Will you use your new breakfast bar for a work area, often? You might need a large counter top space. You want to be able to fit large round cake pans on the counter. A mixing bowl and mixer should easily fit, also.
If you plan to serve meals, seating will be important. You can use modern bar stools. These will work well. Remember to allow for more than one person to sit at the bar. The stools should have proper spacing, where it will not be crowded.
Islands
