Random question...with the faucet being that high and the sink being so shallow, do you find a lot of water splashing around off onto the counter? Maybe you haven't used it enough to find out. We have that problem at my mom's kitchen and I always liked this look, just wasn't sure about the huge splash thing. Such a bummer about the stools. Great idea about the custom island out of base cabinets!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-22186698416663369062012-09-13T10:29:06.014-07:002012-09-13T10:29:06.014-07:00It is coming together and yes having water is HUGE...It is coming together and yes having water is HUGE. Love the faucet. I really like the depth of our overhang. I'll measure it tonight and let you know how much it is. Our contractor suggested getting support which we did. And bummer about the stools. I know counter height can be tough. I'll let you know if I see or think of anything.Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-26781036840626047552012-09-13T05:32:43.804-07:002012-09-13T05:32:43.804-07:00Love it!

I think with your cooktop being on the island, having that 12" will give you plenty of room for plates, glasses, etc. and enough leg room while eating. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563535213561523118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-37089871977873994452012-09-12T08:27:15.016-07:002012-09-12T08:27:15.016-07:00At first glimpse, I thought the overhang was too m...At first glimpse, I thought the overhang was too much as well, then I measured ours and it's 12" too and is great for us. Maybe it's the plywood that's throwing us off--your countertop is going to be more substantial than that thin plywood. I think I remember your saying that you have a tall husband--keep that in mind if you go any shorter on the overhang, especially if you're going to be putting decorative brackets underneath. He will be hitting his knees on them. I still do at times and we have the 12" overhang. <br /><br />As far as stools go, I may have suggested these before, but Overstock has these awesome knock-off Tolix ones that we purchased a while ago. They have them in different colors (gray, black, white,etc) and they add that industrial feel that I love. Here's the link. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Tabouret-30-inch-Black-Metal-Bar-Stools-Set-of-2/4250367/product.html<br /><br />Good luck! And everything looks great!
