this, i feel like having a breakfast/bar counter with wood for my upcoming house

but man the amount of maintenance needed to do in future..

i wanted to use full steel for wet kitchen but my gf is like lolol

yeah but issue is she said it looks too much like commercial kitchen than a home kitchen haha

not something she wants. for me i wanted steel cause damn easy to clean and maintain

yeah this is expected cause the shiny polish will be gone and replaced with scratches. not a biggie IMO, i treat them as wear and tear feel

i dont mind those, but main concern OFC is rust as usual

sexay, but my concept was completely different

something like this, this is why she said like commercial kitchen and a hard no

im already 70% adapted to this mantra now

"happy wife happy life"

haha this is one of the things i prepped in my arsenal if my gf want to shoot me on the design. cause she never cooks.. or rarely

but yeah i agree that it looks dull and cold, but i feel its best for my cooking style/workflow since i usually cook chinese food and it is easier to clean + utilise

all the oil splatters + water splashes etc would be terrible on wood based cabinets. i know cause my parents kitchen atm is kinda nasty RN. look is one thing, cant get rid of the wet damp smell forever embedded zzz

yeah IKR? wobbles like jelly also lmao

using this as workbench at wet kitchen, works very well so far but unsightly

dry kitchen most likely settle with quartz since come together with the unit + plywood cabinets

just the wet kitchen part still unsure. otherwise i might just call in contractors to pour concrete top & bottom then tiled it up. but havent thought as far as what to fit in under as cabinets
