The Alston's Finally Get Their Dream Modern Kitchen

For Janet and Andy Alston their dream modern fitted kitchen was miles away from what they currently had and they were doubtful it could ever be achieved with the space they had to work with.

After commissioning the Kitchen Design Centre and showing Managing Director and designer Roger Astin their ideal contemporary kitchen and their hopes for the room, their dreams became reality.

Roger said: "Janet and Andy had seen a style of kitchen they wanted in our showroom but they were concerned it would not be possible to recreate in their kitchen.

"The space we were working with was lacking natural light, divided into two separate areas, had a stair way leading to the back door and was quite an unusual shape – making it a challenging project.

"Because the space was dark and features such as curved walls making it difficult to fit cupboards, it required some imaginative thinking to give them the kitchen they desired."

Janet said: "For the Kitchen Design Centre to transform our two rooms into one light, contemporary living area with all the functions we asked for is amazing.

"We wanted a functional kitchen, an informal dining area and a relaxation space, all of which we now have and enjoy as a family."

The kitchen is fitted with all the latest appliances including a combination microwave, oven, warming drawer, cube extractor, induction hob, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and a 100 degrees Quooker hot tap.

Roger added: "As well as all the latest appliances a wine cooler was also built into the wall."

"A small wall dividing the two rooms was removed to make way for a large island and concealed lighting under the units make a nice feature as well as adding extra light."

"The island sits in the middle of the kitchen and extends following the curved wall to create an eating space for four people.

Janet added: "The whole process from design to fitting and aftercare has been handled with utmost professionalism and the Kitchen Design Centre have always been obliging and willing to help.

"Our kitchen is now a fantastic, spacious area that we use to its full capacity, the living area with the TV and seating adds another dimension to room that we love to relax in."

"This project was challenging but with a mix of modular units and a redefinition of space the finished product flows and we achieved what we set out to do," said Roger.

"We would certainly have no hesitations in recommending the Kitchen Design Centre to anyone considering purchasing a new kitchen – they would not be disappointed with the quality and service," added Janet.

Was wondering what i could use to convert a divider into a snackbar?

Alright so we got rid of our kitchen table because it just took too much room in the kitchen and just didn't look right.. The kitchen looks so much bigger! Anyways,
My mom and i want to convert the divider between the kitchen and dining room into like a snack bar (instead of using the dining room table , it'd be more convenient and almost like those little islands they have now in the middle of the kitchen) We're looking to find a long strip of marble or something to make a table/bar out of it and get some stools to go along with it. Where would be the best place to find a reasonable priced kind of countertop to fit the divider?
My mom looked in home depot but they had countertops for a whole kitchen and we only need a long strip of it..
Can you help me out as to where to look for something like this?
i think the divider is about 67 inches long and 7 inches wide

I went to a place that cuts granite and because I only needed a small run they had scrap 5 feet by 3 for an inexpensive price.
