Gourmet Kitchen Design Help with Peninsula Seating and Prep Island
Comments (36)9" sounds better--I misunderstood the measurement of the island depth on the last plan you'd posted. There are many pics of cooktops under windows (I linked some above), and a few GW members have done the same. Angie_diy and cotehele are two that I recall. You might do a search, and message them to find out how they feel about the issue. If it gives you a better layout, I think it would be fine, and although glass shows spatters, it is durable--more durable than my bead-board backsplash. I would assume that any solid surface behind the hood would help contain the steam and grease plume better than the open cooktop first considered. Where would that grease have gone?

Comments (3)Hi Rachel. Lot's of potential here. Before I give you recommendations, I would need to have some more info: 1) Are there kids here? If so, fabric may not be your friend. Leather would be a better choice. 2) Your ideabooks are showing modern and contemporary chairs. Here you show very traditional ones. Which are you wanting?

Comments (4)RL Relocation's suggestion is probably more elegant in a modern design, but my first thought was swag pendant. You'd need hooks at the various locations you might want them to hang. These are typically plug-in lamps, which means extra dangling cords. You can adapt a plug-in pendant to be hardwired and swag it from the canopy, or buy a hardwired pendant with a sufficiently long chain or cord and do the same. I'm not sure how feasible that approach would be with your model layouts. https://thediyplaybook.com/spray-painting-a-light-fixture-black/...See Moredan1888
