Yamini LEED AP at Urbanmotifs on Aug 16, 2011i would say about 36" seems appropriate to me, this is the height of the Kitchen counter. Try a string at this level and see how it feels.Helpful Reply

Clay B on Aug 16, 2011How about kitchen counter height plus 6 inches. You would put a counter on top, and place stools on the den side, facing into the kitchen.Helpful Reply

Imagery on Aug 16, 201130" is desk height, wall is 28 1/2" + 1 1/2" cap or counter 36" is counter height, wall is 34 1/2" + 1 1/2" cap or counter 42" is bar height, wall is 40 1/2" +1 1/2" cap or counter The wall height before the cap or counter will vary, depending on the thickness of the cap/counter. 3CM granite is real close to 1 1/4", so if you go this route, adjust accordingly. You will more than likely need to modify some electrical, I don't think I have ever done a wall mod like this without having to re-route an outlet or switch. Check for plumbing too, before you start cutting out the wall... These are your basic/standard dimensions. You can choose whatever you like, but it depends on the situation and what the use will be. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Lisa G on Aug 17, 2011Great! Thanks for the help! We do have to re-route some electrical (light switch) but no plumbing. I'm still trying to decide on counter or bar. I like a bar, but this would be right next to our kitchen table so it might be overkill to have both? The idea of the stools on the den side is something I hadn't thought of though- that might work. Thanks for the ideas.Helpful Reply
